Is anyone actually buying into this supposed "anti-corporate" stance that Sirius is claiming to hold? I checked out their website, and found information about such "underground" and "cutting edge" programming as: - hours of Grammy-related programming on several of their channels - an upcoming "KISS weekend" celebrating the 30th anniversary of KISS - live broadcasts of NBA games - channels with names like The Rave and Planet Dance that represent "the non-stop energy of the club and rave nightlife" And then there are their various business partners like House Of Blues, Ford, Chrysler, ABC, NBC, Fox News, Disney... yeah, really fucking "underground". Why do people keep posting this crap here?
