Sirius' The Beat is no more

[blahhhh]

Sirius has now merged playlist with XM and has dropped The Beat.

Is this good or bad for dance radio? The Beat was horrible, BPM is incredible to have instead or the recurrents heavy Beat format.

I guess its just one less dance channel in our brigade.

I have mixed feeling about the death of this station. BPM is much more superior in playlist, but The Beat made the dance format much more powerful.

So, now pretty much every satellite radio subscriber has BPM.

I thought this topic belonged is this section, i consider it pretty newsworthy for our beloved format.

I think it's great personally. You get the personality of The Beat with the awesome music selection of BPM. I'd rather have one huge station representing dance music than two little ones.

BPM is so much better than The Beat, in my opinion.
