XM drops Punk - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

So, XM radio has droped its only punk station, Fungus, and replaced it with an all AC/DC channel. Nothing against AC/DC but I listen to satelite radio to hear music I cant hear anywhere else. I've been a subscriber for about 5 years now and I will not renew if this is the trend. Im not sure how many people here subscribe to XM, but if you do , please send a quick email demanding the return of Fungus to XM. Hell, even if you dont subscribe send them an email.

They had an all Metallica channel last month when "Death Magnetic" was coming. AC/DC has a new album out next month. I'm sure your regularly-scheduled punk channel will return.

Sirius dumped their punk channel as well.

I dumped my Sirius subscription as a result.

Fungus was the only station I would listen to when I happened to borrow my dad's truck from time to time. It was a great station for punk, ska and hardcore that I didn't seem to be able to hear anywhere else. That's a shame if it is indeed gone for good.

ch 51 is XM Mandatory Metallica still.

I don't expect it to last forever though, same with ch 53, AC/DC 24/7
