XM/Sirius merger...what stays?

I called the other day to "add Sirius to my existing XM, for only $5 more dollars a month"
Or so I thought.
They told me, "Hey - you qualify for a new, already-activated" radio which we'll mail you.
"Cool," I said.
What it turns out to be is just 5 channels of Sirius. Not all of them
No Grateful Dead channel.
Howard Stern, yes, and NFL
So, now I've got a second radio at my work desk and it can be moved back and forth from my living room, plus the one in my car.
It's worth it. Good info and music channels.
Worth the $40 per quarter that I pay.
Eventually, they tell me, all the Sirius and XM will be available to everyone.

 

In a little more than 9 hours you won't be listening to it.

 

Change doesn't happen til midnight.

 

NO!!!!

Fine, I'm going to get the home kit & listen to Lucy non stop while she still exists.

And then I will go into mourning.

 

OK, I'm seriously worried at this point. I never did the upgrade to add the best of Sirius. Are my radio and all my favorite channels really going to self-destruct at midnight?

I'm scared to click on that link ...

 

That's your new channel lineup.

The Best of Sirius only includes Stern, NFL, NASCAR, Martha Stewart & Playboy.

 

Fred, Ethel and Lucy all gone, replaced by the Sirius versions, I guess, although not really Fred. Now that is '70s and '80s alternative. The old 46 and 49 rock channels also replaced (now '60s and '70s classic rock and '70s and '80s classic rock). I guess no one has rocked since.

Looks like the comedy channels - or at least the one I listen to - are now Sirius, too.

 

Playboy radio? Talk about your d*ck-teases.

 

But what if I haven't upgraded to the best of Sirius?? I am really starting to freak out a little here.

 

You can relax ... you get all of that in yellow on the above PDF. If you want to upgrade to best of Sirius for an extra $5, you get the blue content.
