See here. It's name changed to the Pulse as part of the merger as of 11/11.

Yeah, XM did a wholesale restructure. Chrome 83 is gone, there's no pure disco dance station any more (but I'm hoping that the Sirius version makes its way down). I found out about this last night on the way home from school when the two French music stations moved down about 10 notches.

This wasn't publicized very well, and I don't think XM has handled it gracefully.

I have emailed a comment. We'll see how they respond.

And I will not be renewing XM. I am decidedly unhappy with it.

See my comment to zarchasmpgmr... Also, I prepaid before the merger, so I've got some time yet unless I just explicitly cancel.

And the bullshit bullshit is that you get allllllllllllll that but you have to bend over and pay more if you want NFL and Stern (and, for Zach Horan, Martha Stewart).

Besides that, they didn't include the old-school hip-hop channel from Sirius yet they drop The Pulse.

WTF.

See this page that shows what's new, what's changed, and what's gone.

I did (I got the email today). And there's a lot of stuff that I think is gone whose replacement isn't quite the same.
