I think WSM advertises that they are Channel 10 on Sirius. I get Sirius with my DirecTv Subscription, but; I haven't tried WSM–10 yet! It would probably be a different # on DirecTv! Willies Place is Channel 811. (XM–13) With my WebTv Unit, I have PiP, so; I usually listen to (XM-13) while I'm here doing what I'm doing this very minute!

My DirecTv Channel 811 still shows Willies Place as (>XM<), but; several of the other Country Stations have been changed to Sirius! (???)

the xm/sirius merger went "live"on air as of 11/12 or so, with an odd melding of their programming on both platforms. I have xm and where there was redundancy apparently they made some arbitrary choices as to which "station"(xm's or sirius') lived or died.
the xm "alt-country" station X-Country is now sirius' "Outlaw COuntry", yet "willies' place" remains. other similar "conflicts" seem to have been resolved at the whim of the execs.
I hope too many folks didn't lose their jobs in this mess. |

| Willie's Place has been destroyed. It is now home to the same bland, predictable "classic country" playlist you might hear on any podunk am station in America. Instead of hearing twin fiddles, steel guitar, booming upright bass and in your face Texas Honky Tonk and Western Swing, we now have the same old bland crossover country crap from 40 years ago that Sirius featured! Yeah now we can hear "classics" like Big Bad John, Wolverton Mountain, and the like 3 or four times a day. These kinds of programming decisions will ruin satellite radio just as the same type of decisions have ruined cable tv. Programming to the "middle of the road" doesn't work anymore, especially in light of the myriad of choices available through media such as the internet, ipods, etc. Satellite radio as we knew it IS DEAD!!!! Yes, I'll say it again! |
