Hi,

For AOL paying subscribers who receive the 70+ XM stations, we made a change in the XM station lineup late last night. XM Hear Music is no longer offered on XM Radio, but rather, is being combined with XM Cafe. This new station is called XM Starbucks Cafe, where you can soak in the musical coffeehouse experience, with such acts as Dave Matthews Band, Paul Simon and Angelique Kidjo.

Again, these changes apply to AOL premium subscribers only.

 

Until later,

~ T.C.

    Is anyone having difficulty with the beta version stability?  If I do just about any other task other than checking email, I lose the radio connection.  I've checked my broadband to see if it was choking but it is running at 80% of maximum or better.  Yesterday, the radio was dropping out on average 10 times an hour.  Probably would have been more, but I didn't always reconnect right away.

    I enjoy this feature and have enjoyed it for a long time.  It seems like each improvement adds complexity that reduces the enjoyment.  I've always thought the AOL radio programmers where stronger in content selection.  XM hasn't brought much to the mix, and now this new version makes it almost impossible to listen to the radio by turning it on and forgetting about it.

    Nuts

    I like how you say "endure" the coffee house music experience. And you are an employee of AOL Radio. Nice.

    You really do need to do better research before you write on your blog as you're actually missrepresenting the XM changes and therefore missleading AOL users.   The Starbucks Hear Music Channel and XM Cafe actuallly merged together to form the all new Starbucks XM Cafe (aka you need to rearrange the way you titled it and also XM Hear Music is still there unlike your blog entry saying its no longer offered when it is as it merged ).  What they did is combine the best of both channels and merge them together rather than getting rid of one channel which your blog entry says
