It's a corporation no-doubt, but they do have a decent electronica
channel and they have a couple unsigned band channels and play some good
post-rock stuff. Don't be such an ass.
The best part is that they have no commercials and aren't driven by ad
revenues. There business is not so great now, but maybe after they get
more subscriptions they could offer more "underground" programming.
Sorry.
Whether or not their programming is good for you or not, isn't it nice
to at least hear that stance for a major corporation??
