ENLIGHTEN CHANNEL TO BE CUT?
Sirius/XM Radio has been announcing planned changes to their channel lineup "to make it easier to find your favorite channels." If you are like Jean and me, and you subscribed to satellite radio in order to listen to southern gospel music on the Enlighten channel, you will find your favorite channel in the trash can after Wednesday, because that is where the executives and consultants at Sirius/XM are planning to send it.
They are saying that they are merely moving Enlighten to another channel, but that channel is internet-only. You will not be able to listen on the radio in your vehicle. And you will still have to pay to listen on the internet.
There are cases in the history of broadcasting where network or station decisions have been reversed because of listener response. If you enjoy Enlighten southern gospel, it is worth trying to save it.
