That's kind of where I call B.S. on their blanket statements about audience numbers. They have what, 3-5 foreign language channels still on? You're telling me more people are listening to the news in Korean than Boombox? Bottom line they didn't understand the commercial viability or differentiation that would make Boombox in their mind a channel worth retaining so, they combined that lack of understanding with this supposed survey they did and axed it. Now they are just being stubborn and refusing to even consider they may have made a mistake. Things like disco and classic hip hop are easy to understand for these jacks and they can wrap their pee brains around why people want them so they are back on. It has little to do with the audience numbers because as I stated before they can't possibly know how many people really listen.
Bottom line: They can't even tell the difference between BPM/AREA/BOOMBOX so how can we expect them to want to return it back?

Well it's Saturday and with the snow storm coming in NY and no plans to go out in that type of weather, I guess I will be able to get my daily dose of Boombox tonight listening to Zeros and Ones at 10 pm. Hmmmm...big decision I have to make. Do I sit in my car and watch the snow while listening to Liquid Todd or do I sit in front of a blank computer screen? You suck Sirius XM, it shouldn't have to come to this. My subscription is up in February and that is not a big decision I will have to make. I will be cancelling as of 2/18 if Boombox is not back.
