I choose MSNBC for its personalities in front of the TV, especially during an election season. I never caught my fav show Hardball until I got XM - but then
I called several times to customer service and no one would return my call. Aside from the MSNBC issue I now have a poor impression of customer service. I primarily only listen to the news stations. Therefore, I am very unhappy about this move. I enjoy Hardball and Keith Olbermann.
What could be the reason for taking MSNBC off of XM - It was interesting that it happened right when Keith Olberman was delivering special messages about the Bush Administration that were very popular. The Murrow of our time. When you go to news the first channel is FOX and when you go to talk and entertainment the first channel is Right Wing talk. People with a progressive or middle-right point of view are represented by Keith, Joel Scarborough, and Chris Matthews. I'm not signing up for my house or my husbands car because MSNBC was what we wanted to listen to most of the time.
because I want my MSNBC. it is a big reason for me getting XM (along with the $50 rebate that XM reniged on with me) The more I deal with XM the less they give me. I think I'll go to Sirus or even HD next year when my contract is over. The ball is in your court =XM. Or are you really another conglomerate who will only put on conservative news programs and censor the real new. FOX is Faux. ABC is not news and CNBC is not MSNBC.
I fully support this petition as a long time, multi-account subscriber! MSNBC to me is a very necessary and extremely valuable news organization that contrasts against Fox News, etc. They are refreshing and actually make me interested in the news! Please keep MSNBC!
MSNBC is a major reason I subscribed to XM. Hardball during my commute in the evening was the bright spot of my day. CNBC is the channel that should go.
I travel by car to and from work during the hours of 6:00 and 8:00 pm daily, and MSNBC, particuarly Hardball and The Countdown, is an important source of news and commentary for me. There are no substitutes for these programs, and I have little or no reason to keep my XM subscription active (last year's XMAS gift from the kids) otherwise.
I thought something had gone wrong with my XM radio! MSNC has Olbermann..the HOTEST thing on Cable TV!! HOW DUMB can one be..BRING BACK MSNBC

The main reason I listened to XM was for MSNBC, especially for the commute home from work. If MSNBC remains off the air, I will likely cancel to listen to local news/commentary found on FM radio.
I support this petition. MSNBC adds more balance & variety to the XM news line up--especially Keith Olberman. Being a regular listener of MSNBC, I feel XM owes me a rebate!
because MSNBC does the best job of providing financial, market and national news in the mornings. Its great to have this at work or while I'm driving in.
I have been a subscriber from the beginning and MSNBC is one of the main reason I have continued with XM. Looks like if they keep this up I may have to look at the other provider.
I support this petition because Hardball, Countdown, and Scarborough Country are my favorite 3 news shows. Between them I get a balanced perspective of the news without the obvious bias (CNN-liberal, FNC-conservative). I just want news in a balanced forum, and MSNBC provides that. I don't care if the audience places the channel 3rd place, the content makes it 1st to me !!
I listen to CNN, MSNBC, and last choice Fox news. I esp like Hardball and listen to the newscast during the day also. I like have the choice between all 3 stations. I listen to the news stations more than the music stations.
I have xm for msnbc (olberman and mathews) and the Philips Phile on 152 which they remove, bring back and switch time slot so it isn't live. Loyalty isn't something xm tries to build with its listeners. Take that "We report, you decide, we retract, you forget" fox news off--please.
MSNBC is my favorite news channel. CNN and FOX are too extreme.
All my favorite news shows are on MSNBC; Tucker, Countdown, S. Country. Please bring back MSNBC on XM, if you need to make room get rid of E! that is a waste.
Fox News is horrible, CNN is outdated, and I miss Rita Cosby. I purchased XM for MSN, Comedy, and Baseball. What am I supposed to do after the baseball season?? Please bring it back. I'd be willing to pay an additional $1. per month for just MSNBC. Thanks to who ever started this petition. All 125 of my emails to XM have gone unanswered

I'm seriously consdering ending my XM subscription, because I now realize I generally used it to listen to msnbc. It doesn't seem to both worth the cost now.
