'Tis the season... to be a scrooge. LOL
Monday we launched "Music City Holiday" online in place of U.S. Country. Right now I'm scheduling both channels, but Monday, US Country goes away on radios too. Music City Holiday is all Country Christmas music... from now until the day after Christmas. I've already listened to more Christmas music than a human should in the month of November.
Let me tell ya... you don't know what you have until it's gone. We're being flooded with emails about how I'm ruining people's work day because they can no longer listen to US Country online. I have a cute little response I send back about Santa and his elves and Christmas Spirit. So far I've gotten 3 "Bah Humbug!" responses to that little bit of holiday cheer.
At the suggestion of Kyle Cantrell, the last song to play on US Country is George Strait "This is Where the Cowboy Rides Away." Haven't picked a first song for Music City Holiday yet... last year it was Faith Hill "Where Are You Christmas."
Stay tuned.

Doesn't bother me, because I cant listen to my favorite XM station at any point during the year anyway.
Why can't we listen to US Country online anymore? Is it because it's converting to a Christmas station, and then we'll get it back after the holidays? :)
Didn't I answer this question out of you already?
Or do you want the Santa and his Elves response this time?
Nope, you didn't answer... I asked, but didn't get an answer. :P
Woot Woot Holiday music!!!
Er some other fake holiday response to make J feel better. :)
I will so listen to your holiday station... um, after Thanksgiving. :) Which is next week -when the heck did THAT happen?
p.s. I hate Christmas Carol.
- lish, whom blogger still hates...
Hmm... there's an email in my "sent" box from 11/13 that reads something like:
I'm good... flight was good... I bought "Wicked' in the airport bookstore and started reading it... umm... wow. Not what I expected. LOL
17 Went Christmas on Monday online... part of the joy of my life... I'm scheduling 2 channels this week.
How was your flight?
Guess your spam filter at work got me. :-P
Your second option goes something like:
Santa and his elves got sneaky in cyberspace... they wanted to give everyone a sneak preview of "Music City Holiday" - which will launch on radios next Monday... spreading Christmas cheer to all the XM Nation!
Your choice. ;-)
ahhh I heard Christmas music today in a store, I'm that is scary I'm due the day after .... ahhhh
LOL JK I'm ready. uh I think.
I hate spam. All kinds. :P
Thanks for the REAL answer!
How can you listen to US Country online anyway?!
I just CAN'T do Christmas music until I've seen Santa on the Macy's parade.
Truthfully the majic of Christmas has been lost in the retail and marketing hubub to the point where I'm at best indifferent to the holiday. I'm not a Christian, though my children are, and the hype outweighing the message saddens me. I haven't even put up a tree for the past couple years.
Poor you and poor listeners... I would really go nuts if I had to listen to Christmas music for well over a month! :O I love Christmas music... but only about 3 days a year. And those three days a year I have a problem with my hubby, who doesn't like it at all!! LOL! Luckily for him, we are out of the house most of Christmas, so I can only play my fav Christmas CD's during breakfast or so. :D
That was an actual question.
Oh, I figured it was just another chance to complain that you can't listen to XMRadio Online because you don't have a US Credit Card. :-P
No one can listen to US Country online at the moment -- or on DirecTV. It's on holiday hiatus.
Yes, but you definitely can't listen at all when it is back?
U.S. Country is available on XMRadio Online. Any XM subscriber gets XMRO free with their service, people who just want XMRO service but don't have an actual radio can subscribe for $7.99 a month.
U.S. Country is NOT one of the free preview channels currently available on AOLRadio.com. However, if you are an AOL subscriber, you get all of our music channels, not just the 20 free ones.
Tons and tons of people listen to US Country via one of our online options. If I didn't know that before, I sure do now that I'm reading the mail that taking it away has generated!
