Looks like SiriusXM is starting to come around. But like Mark says we need to keep pushing them to insure they follow through.Quote:

I haven't heard censored music on Hip Hop Nation in a while. Either I'm always tuning in it at the right time or they are actually fixing the issue. One good thing is that I've actually heard a decent amount of 90's Hip Hop on the 90's channel.
This thread couldn't be more timely. I was thinking of getting myself a Black Friday present and buying the Stiletto 2 and a subscription to Sirius as there's a special deal now ending on Dec 1, 2008.
Now, in my research, I am reading that there is some censored music/content on Sirius. That's ridiculous. Is Howard Stern going to be censored too.
I'm in Canada and I wanted to get a US radio and US subscription so I dont have to listen to crappy Canadian content.
Thanks guys, you made up my mind, don't get satellite radio.
Noob:
The thing to remember is that Sirius/XM may play 20 songs an hour, and out of those 20, MAYBE 1 will be "censored". It is actually not censored by Sirius XM, they are just playing a song as edited by THE MUSIC LABEL as a "for air" version for terrestrial radio. Some of these songs have made it into the playlists at Sirius/XM. There are MANY MANY more songs that are completely uncensored and you will hear all of the cursing and profanity that your heart contends... I have the same thing on one of the Comedy channels I listen to. One "song" has a comedian saying F this and F that and that is Sh**. The next one has the F word one time, and it is bleeped out.
It is just the occasional cut that you hear it on, not COMPLETELY censored.
Ok then, as long as Sirius/XM don't censor. If they do, I can see them dropping like flies, especially once iPhone and other smartphones become more popular and data plans to listen to streaming audio becomes cheaper.
Hip Hop Nation started to put the uncensored music back in, i guess threatening to cancel the subscription helped out a lot, now they need to put the uncensored music in "The Heat"
No they don't censor. They choose to play songs censored by record labels. Using this technicality SiriusXM does not censor music.
They claim this was all a glitch but 3 weeks later and Lithium, Octane and Hip Hop Nation continue to play radio-edited tracks in their rotation.
Meanwhile the four "mature" music options were not effected by this "glitch" only the music options listed as "family friendly"
Playing a censored label provided track in favor of an uncensored track is still tantamount to censorship.
I suggest you look at the negative reactions of many loyal longtime subscribers before making your decision.

Hmm. Another attempt to attract and keep listeners. http://www.satelliteguys.us/satellit...ml#post1611712
