I like Billy Joel, or at least some of his material, but this would be unacceptable.
That is if you were a subscriber. Since you're not it shouldn't matter.
I am a subscriber and I don't like this move. With so many channels for hard rock- rap- etc. Whenever they make a change it always comes at the expense of the older formats. Satellite used to be a place to go for something different. I often enjoyed Cinimagic, the channel that played some really great movie music you couldn't hear anywhere else. Satellite radio today has become more mass appeal and similar to most of the terrestrial offerings we currently can hear for free. This will be the downfall of satellite radio. When it's no longer unique. I'm seriously thinking of just using my iPod and eliminate the unnecessary expense.

Luckily I found an iOS app that has no "commercials" other than those that fit the theme. it's called Silvertone Radio. They also have a website and you can listen to it from your browser as well. http://silvertoneradio.com
That plus the horrible quality audio were the reasons I dropped my XM subscription. Rip the band-aid off.. you'll be glad you did. There are plenty of free apps as well as your own collection on your iPod that you can take advantage of. It's been over 2 years for me. It's really an unnecessary expense.
Bye-bye Billy Joel. Hello 40's and Hello "Today Show" channel?
