Did Sirius XM Fire All of Their DJ’s?

by Justin on November 12, 2008

Today, Sirius XM consumated their marriage by changing up their channel lineups, eliminating some stations, bringing stations from XM to Sirius, and vice versa. That much seems to have made the news, but what I am not hearing about, and have noticed while listening to my standard Sirius stations (Alt Nation, Lithium, Pulse, & Classic Vinyl) is there seem to be no DJs anymore. After listening for a couple hours today on these stations and others is there do not seem to be any DJs anymore.

If it is true that they laid off all of the DJs, this leaves me feeling a little torn. While I prefer that radio stations inturrupt the music as little as possible, but the DJ were sometimes a nice break, but I can see that they provided very little value for what they were making, which seems to justify their termination if they were laid off. Regardless, I guess it is better than having commercials.
