Well, after all of my constant bitching about the poor quality programming on Speed Channel Radio, I just received confirmation that Stream 123 will change to "Sirius Sports Action" on 9/1. I also received a message from the President of Speed Channel indicating that their arrangement with Sirius is changing and that they are also doing biz with XM. Anyone else hear of other programming changes? I wonder why they put 'live' in quotes??? Here's what Sirius' "customer care" has to say...
Thank you for contacting SIRIUS regarding stream 123 Speed Channel Radio. Speed Channel Radio, Stream 123 will become Sirius Sports Action, Stream 123 on September 1st.

Woo-hoo! It looks like a semi-improvement for stream 123. Although to me it seems like nothing more than adding a new show and moving Mayhem in the AM over to the Sports Streams from Sirius Talk.
I listen to nascar on xm when its not on local tv and see they changed from the MRN network to the PRN network, Performance, Racing, Network.
I do find the speed channel programming just as fucked up as cnet on xm. The prrograms are repeated, out of time sync, a show may not have commercials, then rock music for ten minutes till the next hour, etc. Its rather strange to hear the nascar talk before or after a race and having to flip over to xm to hear the race. I like the fact they air the other races, but I am not interested in those.
If Mayhem in the AM is moving from talk, wonder what will be in its place? I think sirius talk needs more off the hook uncensored talk like the King Dude. Right now, I think xm has more colorful programming on the xtreme channel, even if its censored. Yeah, outq is uncensored, but I want to hear other things then just about sex and stuff.

Jeff, MRN is owned by International Speedway (NASCAR) and does MOST of the radio coverage. PRN is owned by Speedway Motorsports (Bruton Smith) and does the radio at their tracks- Charlotte, Bristol, Texas, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Sear's Point.
