I have been an XM subscriber since 2000. (year ONE for XM in the Midwest) Since then, xm/Sirius have gotten rid of Musiclab, Luna & of coarse the ever AWESOME Beyondjazz. Over 75% of my music library consists of tunes that I’ve heard on those “Funk-a-delic” channels. I s’pose the average human juss has no imagination when it comes to music. Thank God fer Zune Marketplace. I’ve since collected a myriad of tunes from those deceased channels. Rest in Peace ‘O Land of smart & artistically SUPERIOR music!!

I traveled from southern Ontario to Alberta this past August and listened to channel 72 most of the way there and back. Not quite sure I would listen to if I did that again…probably take some cd’s along. I would have to say listening to Sirius Xm radio since the amalgamation, I have listening to more fm stations….the stations’ repertoire are just different and what is with the DJ like babble during the intros on channel 46?

I guess modern jazz lovers are a dying breed! If you can’t get a channel like XM72 on Sirius XM, where they have they dedicated channels to single bands/performers (e.g. grateful dead, springsteen, sinatra, etc), then you know you must be in a highly esoteric genre of very limited general appeal.

I am canceling my subscription today!

Just a quick note to say that I agree with everyone on this page about the, let’s hope temporary,demise of Bj72. As a travelling salesman, it was the perfect station to listen to with all of it’s unique music offerings What a relief to not have to listen to all the old rock, jazz and country, as well as a lot of the contemporary versions of the same old stuff. I’ve been a fusion fan since the early 70′s. BJ expanded greatly my exposure to so many groups already mentioned. I loved it. I noticed that after November’s rush of comments that there hasn’t been many additional on es. Maybe if we could all remember to continue reminding XM?Sirius that they will take us seriously and reinstate the program.

It’s Friday and you know what that means! XM bring back the Fusion Channel NOW!!

I’ve resorted to using the fusion channel on Rhapsody. I truly miss Beyond Jazz!! I’d wager that XM is absolutely clueless to the effect of cancelling Channel 72 on it’s audience. I’ve tried writing to them at listenercare@xmradio.com and haven’t heard back. It’s obvious they don’t care!!
