Thanks for posting this info Richard. I miss WRN on SiriusXM. They just sent
me a renewal notice. My contract expires on July 7. I am contemplating not
renewing or at least using the deletion of WRN as a way to negotiate them down
from last year's price. I find their excuse that BBC World Service provides
all the international news anyone would want to be pretty lame. There is very
little overlap between the news content on AIR, RTE, and and other services
that mostly cover goings on in their own country. The excuse demonstrates that
the suits at SiriusXM have never listened to the WRN program lineup.
Being a natural born conspiracy theorist, I wonder if the addition of North
Korea's propaganda stream prompted pressure from Washington to delete WRN?
SiriusXM operates under a license from the US government's FCC.
