Sirius/XM Suspends the Glenn Beck Show
« on: May 31, 2016, 11:53:02 AM »
Looks like Sirius Radio has suspended the Glenn Beck program that runs on channel 125 "The Patriot."

So not believing rumors I called Sirius Radio and this is what happened.

Called Sirius to confirm that they had suspended the Glenn Beck show/CHL 125 The Patriot. A Sirius Customer Service employee, David reread the media release. I asked him to cancel my 4 radios. He asked if he could  put me on hold and I said, "Yes." The next thing I heard was a dial tone.

Called back and eventually got Sandy. I again asked her about the supposed suspension. She asked me if she could put me on hold and ask her supervisor. After about a minute of nice Sirius music I heard a dial tone again. Mmmm?

Called back a third time. I got Lorrie. I asked her if it was true that Sirius radio had canceled Glenn Beck and she told me,"What? I don't think so, let me ask my supervisor."

Before she asked me to be put on hold, I said, "PLEASE take my phone number so when you loose my call you can call me back."   

Lorrie did, placed me on hold came back on about 3 minutes later and read me the aforementioned Sirius media statement. I told Lorrie that I wished to cancel my 4 radios subscriptions. She explained to me that her supervisor explained to her, that it was only a suspension and he would be back on in 3 weeks. I told her I didn't care and to cancel my subscriptions. She did.

1) It's a shame that management is not sharing with the troops what is going on.

2) All three Sirius Customer Service people were friendly but two of them need a refresher on how to NOT DROP
    someone when placed on hold.

3) Lorrie offered me the rest of subscription for the year free - WOW! So if you want to save a few bucks on your Sirius
    radio subscription call up and cancel.

I do realize that many on this forum do not like Beck. Like all talking heads, I liten and then do my own research. Sometimes what he reports is accurate and sometimes there is a bit of  :tinfoil:. Regardless, because he is speaking out against Donald Trump other media out lets like Breitbart, Jones and Drudge are coming after him. I suspect the Sirius camp in fear of the Trump camp decided to hedge their bets and suspend him.

Move on...Nothing to see here  :sarcasm:

I do annual subscriptions.  I will call and reject it and ask for refund of the next 10.5 months cost.  I did not listen to him and did not know what his channel was.

Even if you do or do not like or listen to or appreciate or despise Beck, call and cancel.  Just to let them know that they do not get to determine what you hear or do not hear.

If you need a second magazine, its time to call in air support.

Thank you for your sentiment Nemo.  :cheers:

Again, I am not trying to start a boycott. I hate boycotts because many people who starts boycotts have agenda's. Just reporting what I did.

The money that was refunded to me I am buying more ammo and 30 round mags.  :gunner:
