Was sooo disappointed to have to listen to Michael Jackson station !!
Michael Jackson is worthy of a 24/7 channel just like Elvis Presley. Michael Jackson had more #1 hits than Elvis Presley and his career lasted a lot longer than Elvis Presley’s did.
nobody needs a 24/7 of that noise
Don’t like it change the channel
Love Michael Jackson…but this is way too much…I Love the variety of the GROOVE. Nobody wants to listen to the same damn thing everyday. WHOSE BRIGHT IDEA WAS THAT???
Hey that is fine to have a Michael Jackson channel – I won’t listen to it – BUT DO NOT REPLACE OR GET RID OF THE GROOVE CHANNEL in the process – the Groove is the MAIN reason I have Sirius XM – this is killing me to not have The Groove for 15 days while you run MJ…
I agree. Put MJ somewhere, but don’t take away the Groove!
Exactly!!!! He is my very favorite of all-time but the Groove is the reason I subscribe to satellite!
I also just cancelled satellite for this very reason since I already have every MJ/Jackson 5 song in my personal collection anyway. Get it together XM..
Agreed!
I totally agree with Stacy. I AM NOT HAPPY. ALL THIS STUFF GOING ON IN 2020, now you’re tryna take away our music? It’s the only thing I got. It’s my piece of the rock. Don’t take my music..oo hoo hoo..don’t take it away!
I was really excited when I heard that a Michael Jackson channel was coming to sirius xm. However I was disappointed to find out that he was replacing the groove channel. I have been listening to MJ’s channel everyday since Monday, however with all of the hits that Michael Jackson have I don’t understand why the same songs are being played over & over again every hour, every single day. I would love for you all to switch it up a bit, I absolutely love MJ!!!!!
play Michael everyday same music i don’t care
Of all the stations you had available to use for this nonsense, you chose to use The Groove? Who’s the genius behind that decision? There’s only one station for ADULTS to enjoy old school music and you chose put MJ on it 24/7. WOW!
My main reason for my subscribing to XM Radio was to have the Oldies and R&B Channel with the music that I grew up with. I truly love MIchael Jackson, and think that he was the greatest. However, there is only so much of MJ’s music that one can listen to if listening to XM daily for 4+ hours every day. With the Oldies & R&B music, there are um-teen artists and songs that can be heard daily without being repetitious and hearing only one musical artist constantly. Please return The Geoove to it’s Oldies R&B format! There are many other channels that can be used as a MJ Channel if you must. Just return The Groove back to it’s format FAST! Other than that, I won’t need my XM subscription any longer and will just listen to Pandora on my smartphone.
Please go back to the regular groove station
I love MJ but enough is enough. I don’t enjoy paying for this. Please return to Groove.
I was so disappointed to have a Michael Jackson station to replace The Groove. There is no reason for me to have this subscription. As it was there are only two stations I listen to Soul Town and The Groove. Now I have Soul Town and Michael Jackson no thanks.
Totally agree with you. If I don’t have “The Groove” & Soul Town, what’s the point. Too much money to pay to listen to one station. Even the MJ selection hasn’t been great. What about “Liberian Girl”?. If you’re gonna drown us in MJ, do it right. geez.
i have to say i agree with other listeners, i go back an forth between heart and soul and groove. Groove station is my favorite when you spend your money for certain stations you should be able listen to what you pay for. i like some of MJ’s music, but I can not listen to him for long periods of time and every day.
I’m all for MJ but not in exchange for THE GROOVE! Why cldnt they do one of them other stations? Alllllll them channels and you pick the groove!!!! Please don’t do any dumb ish like that again. EVER! You didn’t do GROOVE lovers any favors AT ALL! MJ rip
The Groove fills the void left over where Soul Town leaves off. Without Groove you can’t hear late 1970’s – 1990 R&B,. Essentially, no EWF, Cameo, Con-Funk-Shun, most Funk-a-Delic, Phyllis Hyman, Chaka and lots more of over a decade of landmark black music. Heart and Soul is more contemporary R&B that would not have been made without the music covered by the Groove. Michael Jackson is a legend but don’t replace the Groove just establish a separate MJ station.
BTW, Soul Town needs to freshen the playlist. I mean, really, Monkey Time, Patches, Locomotion, over and over…
I am a 50 year old fan (not fanatic) of Michael Jackson. The Groove is my #1 station on SiriusXM. You should have put the “King of Pop” on one of your many Pop oriented channels. The Groove Channel 50 attracts and retains “grown folk” as listeners.
If Sirius wants to take away The Groove I will be canceling my subscription. I love MIchael Jackson and all, but not all day. You got all these other bull crap radio channels and you take away one my favorite channels. Not cool Sirius!
Please return to the normal format for the groove, MJ is nice, but not to listen to 24/7 is crazy. The Groove there is so much variety. Please rethink what your doing and not take away the orginal format. Please…. Chesterfield, MO
I love Michael…but, if the Groove channel doesn’t come back…I will not renew my subscription.
Seriously flattered with the second or third day of MJ coverage. But by day 4 I missed being able to flip over to Groove to hear the line-up of jams for adults. Too Much Michael. Wrong channel to bump. And yeah, freshen up Soul Town.
I love MJ but for mature R&B listener all you have on all your channels is soul town and the groove.How stupid is this you have like 20 rock channels. how about a funk or quiet storm channel if you even know what that is.I’m a dj and play all forms of black music at white weddings and the people love it.Open up your Minds.You remind me of MTV back in the day having to be pushed to play more black music not of the rap format. PS YOU ALSO NEED A PROG ROCK CHANNEL
I was very disappointed that Sirius is converting the Groove (my favorite station) to the Michael Jackson channel. However after a little research I found out it is temporary until May 26. I am counting down the days when my old school favorite jams will return. I know you all want to pay tribute to MJ but please never ever do this again on the Groove! I’m 47 and the Groove is obviously a favorite for people of my generation!
i want groove back – gotta respect MJ but i dont really care for alot of his music, especially that slow i love/miss you stuff… I want the groove back – Gap Band, Patrice Rushen, junior…. iver heard enough MJ.. Why couldent you have replaced channel 47 (*the heat) with MJ only
Michael Jackson pop crap should have another channel, not “The Groove”. Think you should maybe refund me 15 days?
Bring back the Groove NOW!! And while your add it, bring back the Freestyle channel!!!!
Thank God this MJ run is almost over. I’m with everyone else…MJ was great, but 24 hrs of anything for 15 days straight is more than excessive!To honor his life, it would have been better to take a 4hr block each day for 1 week to play his music. That’s just my 2¢!
Give MJ his own channel and bring back Groove. Why didn’t they conduct a survey from subscribers before doing this.The jerk who decided to do this should be fired.
give Michael his own channel totally fine but don’t take away the group I really feel you should respond 15 days worth of service for everyone that you screwed over with this
Hey Guys it is the Truth Michael Jackson Was a Iconic … But To Deteriorate the Groove Channel 50 to Put Michael on That Station Is Totally Disrespect! Elvis Was Great During The 50’s, 60’s , 70’s — Michael Should Get Its Own Station …Channel 25 to 41 on Sirius Satellite Are all Rock Stations ! But I quess Money Speak Louder than The Truth! And also Pick 25 Song or less of The Greatest Icon Than Play Them In Random Order , When he had Close to 100 Songs Or more ..What A shame ! For a 15 day Hiatus
I stumbled upon the Michael Jackson station. I listened everyday. Loved his station hope they put it back on!
I missed listeNing to mj. Create a station for him n honestly if you replace it with the groove, ill still subscribe
Whose idea was this? I like Michael Jackson but I don’t want to listen to him all day. I like chocolate but I would’nt eat it all day every day. Please don’t do anything like this again.
Was disappointed to see Michael Jackson station go. Please bring it back!!
The best thing you could have done was, put MJ on with his own station and music.
The worst thing you could have done was…take him off. Please return MJ back to The Groove.
The kids were so excited, when riding in the car to hear their favorite songs. Please put MJ back on I just loved and looked forward riding and singing with MJ. If not so much for the groove station for me. Question what was the purpose in the beginning, now you take it away, shame on The Groove.
Replacing the groove 1,000,000? Record library with Michael Jackson’s 1000? Record Library was a foolish ideal that suggestion wasn’t fom the DJs. It had to come from someone with a tie and shirt in the upper office
Who is probably working at McDonald now after this mess
Please establish a permanent MJ station, if Elvis can have one then the King of Pop is more than worthy.
Sirius X.m radio needs to make Michael Jackson ch. a 24 7 ch. Nd lower there prices it less then a dollar a day
Sirius needs to add a permanent Michael Jackson Channel, and a permanent PRINCE channel…..both have revolutionized the music
industry. Music has evolved because of both GREAT artists.
