i hope we get the chance to listen to baseball on sirius this year, Im a loyal sirius subscriber and i would really hate to cancel my subscription and switch to xm, yes! just because of the baseball games…..and i think that thousands of people think like me also so…..they better do something about it
I wouldn’t count on it Anthony… word is, it is cost-prohibitive to add it to Sirius – but Sirius and XM are the same company now, so if you really want the baseball package and there isn’t anything that’s exclusive to Sirius, you might try calling them and switching…
How does one even go about switching from Sirius to XM? Is it expensive? I’m really thinking about doing it now that it appears I’ll be stuck without MLB (which was promised to me by the store sales guy and Sirius customer service rep) for a second year.
Barry: I’d call Sirius XM, the biggest thing will be u probably need a new radio but the services cost roughly the same, depending on the “best of” options…
