I support this petition - I am a current XM subscriber who is cancelling my account as Fungus was the only station I listened to (and the reason I bought a new car stereo with XM!) If they bring it back I will happily re-subscribe, until then at least I have my iPod!
I support this petition.
I have been a Xm subsciber for about 5 years, with two radios. I do not like the direction the company is taking. An all AC/DC station smacks of Payola. In my opinion the Rock @ Random station is completely unnecessary, as it is redundant of other stations. Take there bandwidth and leave Fungus alone, if you feel you have to have a single artist station.

Current customer, but not for long if this is not fixed.
I support this petition. I want Fungus back because there isn't any punk or ska music now on satellite radio. And no, I don't consider Green Day punk. Bring it back or I'm canceling my subscription!
So im excited as hell to get xm for my car finally and go directly to my favorite station, fungus 53 to hear some good music. But instead I hear what sounds like an Australian raping a kangaroo. I'm extremely disappointed by XM's decision making process. really an ac/dc station and a metallica station, but not room for a punk rock station. good job cornering the 40 year old asshole/teenage metal head market with these moves.
I will cancel my XM subscription unless Fungus is brought back. Even if Fungus isn't the most popular channel, it is still being payed for by us. Bring back Fungus 53.

Outraged to find that the single greatest source for punk music terrestrial or otherwise was replaced with AC/DC... Wha????
Officially did not renew and wont renew XM. Way to go guys! Lose more subscribers. Thats good thinkin.
The rotation on Fungus is completely different and necessary to provide a well-balanced channel lineup. The special programming on Fungus is also indispensable. Shows like Oi!sters, Skannorhea, and Kowabunga Uber Alles broadcast the best in such diverse genres that would never be played on any other channel. To *real* music fans, Fred is new wave, first wave post-punk, and modern rock roots. Ethel, 50% of the time, is just crap; the other half, they play the most poppy album cuts from mid-level bands.
It is disgraceful that you have replaced such a cultural mecca with vapid AC/DC. Nevermind the fact that previous one-band channels like Coldplay's and Led Zeppelin's never encroached upon other channel's programming. Without Fungus, there is no reason for me to renew my XM subscription.
I support this petition, and it was a pleasure doing business with you.
I support this petition. I am so mad they took my 53 and i hate acdc!!!!!!!! I scream and yell at the stupid xm now cause their is nothing to listen to. If they dont bring fungus back asap i am dropping them.
