    I wouldn't subscribe to that channel, just as you wouldn't subscribe to a channel that was 24/7/365 revival meetings (well, neither would I, and I doubt that you would watch the abortion channel either).

    I think of the 200+ channels on my system, I probably watch 10 regularly and maybe 10 more if something good is on. The rest doesn't hold my interest or is garbage.

      Agreed. I listen to them a lot in my work truck. But, I don't see this hurting them any more than when O&A's listeners called and canceled when they were suspended, and again when Anthony was fired.

      The Right Wing station has been on air for a long time. I believe it's aired Alex Jones segments/shows before.


      As of right now, I'll listen to XM 125 as much as I did before. Zero minutes. Just as much as I listen to Howard Stern. Zero minutes. Thinking about this as I type it, I'll probably keep my subscription, but voice my displeasure with a call to customer service.



      For those that do call to cancel, enjoy your three or six months free service as a way to keep you in the XM family without actually canceling the service.

        I understand the sentiment, but don't agree with it. Just don't watch that channel. The ratings will take care of the glitch. How many folks hate Howard Stern? Or (insert whoever)?
        I mean I don’t like stern, but don’t hate either. Just don’t care. Just like I think Lifetime Channel and country music is terrible. But none of them offend me like a Bannon.

          Also, on the flip side, have these same celebrities that have publicly stated they're boycotting SiriusXM also boycotting these FM stations that simulcast Alex Jones and other similar programming or their sister owned stations?

            What if the subscription to the death baby channel was not a choice? Your viewing of the gun channel goes to the abortion channel.

            Much like all cable subs go to ESPN even if you don’t watch.

              That really wasn't my question, but more along the lines of what if they add the abortion channel to the base package that everyone has to have. You obviously wouldn't watch it (I'm not sure who would), but would you still keep your subscription?

              As I noted before, I think this issue is very similar to the people who got all upset and quit watching the NFL due to a few players kneeling/protesting during the National Anthem. They could easily not watch the initial segment of the game (although, IINM they aren't televising the anthems any more), but choose to boycott the NFL entirely as a protest. That is the exact same thing as the people who are cancelling their Sirius subscriptions as a protest to Bannon. They could just as easily not tune into the channel.

              Personally, I really don't care what is showing/airing on channels I'm not watching.

                You're confusing harmed with offended. Of course I'd be offended if such a channel was offered, but I am not harmed. I would ask, pray, protest (maybe) that the channel be dropped. If they don't, I'd block the channel and move on.

                              Someone definitely got the goods on him, no question. It's plain as day with this level of shilling.

                                From context I'm guessing JBER is a flight training facility while ANC is the real operational deal?
                                JBER is, as you said, Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, the large Air Force and Army base in Anchorage. It is one of the major bases for the F-22.

                                ANC is Anchorage International, actually Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport.

                                Having F-22s parked on the tarmac at a somewhat major airport is highly unusual. Although it turns out they were forced there due to bad weather.
