LSU and the SEC are jumping ship from Sirius to XM for sports broadcasts, with most schools (including LSU) switching over to XM this fall. To that, I say boo. As I”ve said before, XM sucks. They suck because their music channels suck. Sports, talk and other programming is a matter of what deals they have in place (until now, XM”s college sports offerings also sucked).
Of course, Sirius and XM are supposedly merging, so this may be a circumstance I only have to suffer through for one season. And I keep getting offers from Acura for a $77 annual XM subscription, so I can jump on that if I really want to be able to listen in to Jim Hawthorne and Jordy Hultberg on Saturday nights this fall.
Yeah, that”s a lot to pay for that kind of abuse.
