SIRIUS XM SATELLITE RADIO

THREATENS TO REMOVE

BLUEGRASS JUNCTION

ON CHANNEL 61
December 3, 2015 

 

 

     YOU WELL KNOW how much you and I and so many of our readers love 'our' bluegrass music. We especially don't care for anybody messin' with our jams, our iPods, our CDs, our TV shows, or our radio programs that are bluegrass- or old-time music-related. We just don't like it a'tall!

 

       Along comes SIRIUS XM and their threat to preempt or abandon Bluegrass Junction on Channel 61. Many of you subscribe to that service for the one bluegrass music channel that is available, don't you? Your channel selector never moves, right?

 

      Here are some things that you can do and in a fast hurry! You can E-MAIL the men in charge of SIRIUS XM. Both of them! They are Steve Blatter at steve.blatter@siriusxm.com and Scott Greenstein at scott.greenstein@siriusxm.com.

 

     Here is a suggested note for that e-mail:

    

     Gentlemen:

 

     I would like to strongly express to you my OBJECTION if the Bluegrass Channel 61 is
     preempted or removed altogether.

 

     I hope you understand how upset we will be if bluegrass is taken off for one second.

 

     Very sincerely,

 

     _______________ Your name

 

     BY PHONE

     Call Sirius XM at 212-584-5100 and let your voice be heard. ASK FOR A MANAGER! That's important! If you have a subscription to SIRIUS XM, ask for a refund for the weeks that SIRIUS XM will be off the air as a trial run. If you don't call or write, the Bluegrass Channel 61 could be removed permanently. Don't let that happen! Bluegrass musicians have contacted me already, saying that they will drop their subscriptions if the Bluegrass Channel 61 is taken off the air.

 

     The full story about this coming event is in www.bluegrasstoday.com. Be sure to read it.

 

     Get busy! This is your fight to save SIRIUS XM Bluegrass Channel 61. If you snooze, you lose!
