SiriusXM Censored and Uncensored Channels
SiriusXM Censored and Uncensored Channels
I'm not turning this into a for or against Censorship thread but what channels, outside of comedy and Howard Stern, tend to censored in terms of music and even The DJ's?
Obviously A channel like Symphony Hall 76 isn't going to have bad language or WaterColors 66. When I have had free previews in the car, I've listened to the 2 stations above, plus mostly rock and news/talk stations. I've never heard cursing on say 80s on 8 or 70s on 7 and not sure about 90s on 9. I have heard unheard uncensored music on First Wave 33 and Lithium 34.
As far as DJs and I could be wrong.. but I think I've heard an F bomb on First Wave before but I might be wrong, as I was tired from working a 10 hour shift. Could of heard something that wouldn't fly on over the air radio, on Progress but I can't remember exactly what it was. I'm not talking like "ass" "hell" " damn" but words that aren't allowed on over the air radio.
Just wondering.

Re: SiriusXM Censored and Uncensored Channels
Usually, the channels with explicit content are identified with "XL" for "Xtreme Language". Most of the Rap/Hip-Hop channels have that rating, though Channel 46 - The Heat doesn't. My theory is that it's a hit-based channel, plus they wanted at least one Hip-Hop channel businesses could play.
Re: SiriusXM Censored and Uncensored Channels
For the rock stations, both channel 40 Liquid Metal and channel 41 Turbo are XL. Drove my dad’s Sierra on Monday, found XM on for free and both these stations were blocked...
Re: SiriusXM Censored and Uncensored Channels
The Beatles Channel (18) has played John Lennon's "Working Class Hero" uncut.
Re: SiriusXM Censored and Uncensored Channels
Yeah I've been getting a free preview myself, Octane and liquid metal are blocked as are the comedy stations.
Re: SiriusXM Censored and Uncensored Channels
Crank up Ozzy's Boneyard it should be open.ch38
F**K Trudeau and F**K CBC !!!!
Re: SiriusXM Censored and Uncensored Channels
When the Heavy Metal channel returned years ago after its cancellation, it was the funniest 10 minutes of OTA radio in my life. Someone kept all the 80 voicemails from pissed-off subscribers, dropping F-bombs, telling them what they can do with their mothers, it was funny as all hell hearing all these stoners call and ripping XM a new arsehole, so they played the customer calls and then after 10-15 minutes started cranking out the jams MF'ers. I wish I had recorded it (of course I wouldn't because of the agreement your sign for SXM service) for posterity as it was damn funny.
Re: SiriusXM Censored and Uncensored Channels
My Car has a Sirusxm Ready radio but it's not activated, I've listened to it when they have had a free preview but I don't feel its worth the money to subscribe to it. When they have had the preview, the comedy and some of the music channels are blocked, which means there obviously uncensored. I know Lithium and first wave play uncensored tracks, I've never heard any music with vulgarity on like The 80s on 8 or 90s on 9 however.
Now, I was out of town and staying with a friend for a week, I had flown down so I didn't have a car. So, I had borrowed his Chevy Trailblazer a couple times, that had Sirusxm on the radio. I am pretty sure, I heard a host say s--t once on, I think ch 39 Hair nation. My friend said, he had heard a host one time, I think on Lithium or another rock channel drop an F bomb once, Like a song ended and the host was like "f--k yeah!" . Not taking a pro or anti censorship side, just an observation. I mean, most of the audience for those station likely talks like that anyway, so it's not like its majorly shocking to them or anything.

Re: SiriusXM Censored and Uncensored Channels
Most of the stations play uncensored music, as far as the hosts go, I've never heard anything over the top but a couple of people have told me they have heard hosts use profanity on some channels.

Howie Stern is in his own category here....

Tin Machine (with the late David Bowie) in 1989 covered the late John Lennon "Working Class Hero"!!
