Jose and Scotty are pretty annoying. The only thing I like about Jose was the Devil's Dozen (top 12 requested songs of the week). I haven't heard the show in month's so I have no idea if it's changed or not, but it used to be filled with all sorts of new and heavy music.
Mario's not bad. He used to rip anything even somewhat melodic and talk trash about anything with clean vocals. Now he just doesn't seem to talk much. The music played seem to be what the DJ's wanted, now it seems to be a "classic metal" station.
I plan on sending in a letter when I switch to Slacker full time letting them know why. Early last year I basically stopped listening to anything but Hard Attack. Now I find myself listening to my own music.

I bet it's Mel Karmazin's yearning to turn satellite radio into fm radio. XM was known for extremely deep playlists and now the stations seem to be nothing more than a shallow group of hits from each particular genre. One great example was Lucy, XM's alternative station, had an amazingly deep playlist that people loved, now that it's Lithium it seems to be about 1/10 as deep. People bought satellite because they don't want FM radio, it's reeruned to make it like FM radio.
