Between O&A, Ron and Fez, NHL games, XM Comedy, Squizz, and now Home Ice....I listen to more radio than watch TV these days. XM owns my life.
I also think they need to work on it a bit. I liken it to OLN; rough at the beginning, but let's hope they can pick it up.
Exactly, XM getting hockey has been just huge and them adding this 24/7 hockey talk channel is driving me nuts cuz I still want to listen to music and check out O&A and R&F, but I'm totally consumed by 204 now. So far, Mike Bossy and Denis Potvin have called in a bunch of times, which I've missed, and they had an in-depth interview with Andrew Raycroft, which I wanted to check out.
I still want to find out the broadcast schedule for the channel...they've yet to release it. This is HUGE for hockey fans in Canada and especially the US. I mean, here in states, sports shows typically avoid the sport of hockey altogether. When I lived in Jersey, occasionally Mike and The Mad Dog would have a Ranger or Islander on and they would talk a little hockey. But this is a hockey channel...24/7! It's my dream come true. On a side note about XM, their new product with Dell was leaked, and it looks really cool. It might not be as good as the new Samsung portable unit, which is basically the 2nd generation MyFi. It appears to be more MP3 player based with no live programming off the dock, which is what Sirius' S50 is, yet the Dell/XM product is 30 gigs (compared to 50 hours for S50) with an estimated price of $300 (S50 starts around $360 without the home kit). Just goes to show you which company is truly "ahead", which may be good for not only XM, but the NHL also...in the long run.
