Hi All,
Are you still peeved that SiriusXM dropped BBC Radio 1? I have been trying to trying to get some momentum going on the SiriusXM facebook page, there are a lot of people posting there wanting to get R1 back, but the more the better. They have to listen to the numbers at some point!

I encourage you to head to the SiriusXM facebook page and post a comment and for November the 1st change your FB profile image to a radio 1 logo.

Fingers xed

Personally I've downloaded TuneIn radio for my iPhone and just cancelled my Sirius. Saves me a load of money every month. I've already told them what I think and they haven't brought radio 1 back so I'm done with Sirius Regardless

Yep, I have been using tunein, and it's pretty good, but I also travel to remote parts of Canada where I have not internet, or very slow internet. Satellite radio is great for that situation and Radio 1 was always popular with the colleagues.

Oh i did wonder. I am not a radio 1 fanatic so don't listen to it just saw it scrolling through and yes it did say something about studio 54 on the info bit.
Oh well i won't be losing any sleep over it.

Sorry to revive an old thread but starting this sunday the Radio 1 top 40chart show with Reggie Yates is back on Sirius. It starts at 3pm central time on channel number 3.
Not as good as a full return of Radio 1 but at least its a start i guess?

I think its also on a few hours in the morning on the 20 on 20 radio station. Not tried it though i dont use it much since R1 was axed.
Still listen to futty on saturdays sometimes, but the radio app on my cell is better as i can listen to Talk Sport in my car.
