XM Satellite Radio quietly announced it’s dumping MSNBC from its lineup as of September 4 “due to changes in the MSNBC schedule line-up.” (Very quietly, actually. Look toward the bottom of their page.) The Daily Kos points us to an online petition to “Save MSNBC on XM Satellite Radio.” I can summarize the petition’s argument in two words: Olbermann’s funny. Agreed. And I like my choices of cable news audio as I drive around. Can’t you two work it out? If not for us, for the … OK, for us. (Thanks, CM!)

what a blow for smarts. Hey XM get a Brain
THE reason we got XM Radio was so we could listen to MSNBC on the road! WHY????????????????? Please reconsider and put it back on! It is THE news junkie’s channel. We’ll be watching to see if Sirrius adds MSNBC so we can SWITCH!
Whoever at XM made the decision to drop MSNBC, he, she, they or it are callous and disloyal to your listeners, and you’d be better off without their input. OUTput is what is needed for decision-makers who are so ignorant and self-serving as to drop fabulous programs like Hardball, Countdown and Meet the Press from your line-up. One wonders if someone at XM has tender political toes. How unethical and unbusiness to react in such a way at the expense of your customers. Y’all have really done a stupid thing. I hate you for this.
I like Oberman he straight to the point, at least he does not skew the facts like O’Reilly and Tucker Carlson or Grace where people are killing themselves on her show……those no talent hacks..lol.
MSNBC is an important station that features Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews, two well respected giants in the field of Political Journalism and commentary. Hardball at 5pm worked perfectly for me on the east coast as it aired at 5pm, the time I ordinarily left work. Chris has great guests and he rarely would go easy on any of them. In 30 minutes I felt like he summarized the important political events of the day in an unbiased fashion. What are we left with now, Air America ? I generally like Randi Rhodes, but she can be as totalitarian as the wing nuts she rails against. For XM to axe MSNBC, I have to wonder if was done through stupidity or Hearst Publications had just about enough of the brazen Bush bashing.
One of the main reasons I joined XM was to listen to MSNBC — specifically Keith Olberman and Chris
Matthews. You certainly have enough ranting from
FOX. Bring MSNBC back, I’m considering dropping out.
Seriously — this is a major omission.

I have 2 reasons for having XM. Dylan and MSNBC. Dylan’s only on once a week – I USED to listent to MSNBC every day. I probably won’t renew without it.
MSNBC was the main reason I subscribed. Why keep FOX news… let’s see, who is a major stock owner with XM? I hope Sirus picks them up, I’ll jump so fast!
The only reason that I signed up for XM, was to have access to MSNBC during my commute home and at work. I will admit that there are a lot of repeats of headlines, but it is great alternative to the fox news station and otherwise tightly controlled message of the right. I will call the telephone number to complain, but if Sirius picks up this station then I will switch and take my investment if XM with me. Respectfully, an angry stockholder and listener.
MSNBC only program worth paying for….planning on cancelling service
I PLAN ON CANCELLING XM. MSNBC WAS THE BEST THING ABOUT XM.
I love MSNBC and cannot believe it is gone – please get it back ASAP!
Dropping MSNBC instead of some obscure channel is a terrible decision. MSNBC is one of the reasons I subscribed in the first place. My evening commute without Hardball is now a bummer.
i am going through msnbc withdrawal on xm!! if sirius picks them up, it will be xm’s loss. B I G M I S T A K E !!!
We love MSNBC on long drives especially; please bring it back
I am cancelling my subscription to XM .
Msnbc with Chris Matthews and Keith are the best news on radio or TV. They are gone so I am no longer paying to listen to the likes of FOX
Is there ANY chance of a change of heart? MSNBC is the best for political coverage. CNN is too biased and too repetitive. FOX is a joke. ABC is too much fluff. Please work this out! Can’t you just get Chris Matthews and Keith on? Chris has THE BEST lineup of guests on his show every night. Keith tells it like it is. We’ll be watching to see if your competitor picks up MSNBC so we can switch. What is the problem?
I have been trying to cancel my XM Radio subscription for months. Talking to the retention team did nothing. They say they can’t find my account but they keep billing me every month. Anyone else having trouble like this? Any ideas on how to get through to them to get action?
I am really dissapointed and feel cheated. I have two XM radios and like many other’s my buying decision was tied to MSNBC.
I am a big fan of Imus, Mathews and Oberman. This does not mean I agree with them any more that I do with O’Riely and Hannity.
I am seriously considering dropping XM and going to Sirus. What a shame. This is a really dumb decision.
I just cancelled my subscription to XM and am going out today to buy Sirius. I chose XM originally because of MSNBC. I was torn between MSNBC and Howard Stern, but I’m a news junky so I went for XM and MSNBC. Now that MSNBC is dropped…..Hello Howard Stern!! XM…you blew it.

Imus has been on radio since I commuted to NYC in the 70’s. Please don’t fire him. He apologized and although his comment was wrong, he apologized. People make mistakes, but look at his track record.
Imus belongs on XM radio along with all the other great talk shows on XM. It’s where I get to know the candidates running for office and the real news happening in Iraq. His guests are so interesting and informative and he is the most informed host I’ve ever listened to. Please hire him.

Sorry
Cool.

This horrible thing that vick has done I am asking why should he get off with such a light sentence? Those poor animals had no mercy. So what if he is a great football Player. This man is a dangerous thug who has the mentality of a low life gang banger. I feel he should get at least three years in prison . I am really tired of these high profiled cases getting away with commenting horid crimes you have a loud voice speak for us the parents of children who love football and need your guidness
Don’t enjoy XM much anymore without MSNBC-I loved
catching up with Tim Russet and Chris Matthews among others. Please put it back-I would be willing to pay extra for the station.
can’t wait to see if sirrus picks up MSNBC, I am switching.
i am a seventy year old woman and black and i
think that all of msnbc where baise to hillary
clinton chris matthew tim russet keith olbermann you should be ashame because
remember your mother was a woman shame on
you son of bitches
Its time for MSNBC to be put back on XM radio. I ask how long must we wait. I still miss it and its been a long time.
Put MSNBC back on XM! You’re going to lose a lot of subscriptions with this bad choice. Why not nix one of the Fox channels?
What, obviously caucasion, male wrote comment 83? Jerk.
