Save MSNBC (Ch 130) on XM Satellite Radio

If you have an XM Radio and you are pissed off that they dropped MSNBC, sign this petition and start emailing and calling XM. They said they "might" put it back on their line up if the groundswell of subscribers was noisy enough.

I went to XM's web site to lodge an e-complaint, and I immediately got this crummy form e-mail back. Check out the shitty sentence plug-in:

Dear Subscriber,

Thank you for contacting XM Satellite Radio. In response to your email; MSNBC ? XM 130 will no longer be part of the XM lineup beginning September 3rd.

You know what? None of the other channels offered "meet my needs." I'm calling XM tomorrow.

If Sirius picks up MSNBC I will consider buying a whole new radio and dropping XM. That's a fact.
