Ethel has been replaced on XM by the Sirius "Alternative Nation" a station with repetition, talking over the beginning of songs and inane chatter. Help bring back ethel, or if not the name the characteristics that made Ethel great!

The feedback I keep getting is that the new station lacks the soul and curation that made Ethel an essential part of our daily listening. I am currently reaching out to programming directors to demand they explain why they chose to sacrifice quality for this repetitive format. Please post this link to your Facebook timeline and text three friends to keep the pressure on management.

The momentum behind this push to bring back Ethel proves that listeners are finished with the repetitive junk replacing our favorite station. We have the attention of the network now so post the link to their official Facebook page today to keep the pressure high.

Please bring back the old format. It was the best station on the whole service.

Ethel was the only reason I paid for my sub. Alternative Nation is just pop radio with a different name. Garbage.

i miss the curation. it actually felt like people were picking the songs instead of a computer just shuffling the hits.

Why do they always mess with the good stuff? Stopped listening since they swapped it out.

So tired of all the good deep cuts being replaced by the same 10 songs on loop. Miss the actual variety.
