HOT HEADLINERS

Two new reports from DCRTV support recent Big Head DC items on some possibly unscrupulous developments at the Washington-based XM Satellite Radio Company:  

6/27 - Former XM Satellite Radio customers say the DC company has made it difficult to cancel their radio subscriptions. Nearly a dozen of those interviewed by the DC Times said they encountered hang-ups, arguments from XM representatives, and unsolicited promotions when they tried to cancel their service…..

6/27 - An XM source tells us that morning men Opie and Anthony “are on a 60-second delay. There has been a delay system set up at (channel) 202’s Program Director Don Wicklin’s desk.” The DC-based satellite radio firm had denied in a recent Washington Times article that a delay had been implemented to review and remove controversial language. O&A recently returned from a month-long suspension after allowing sexual comments about Secretary Of State Condi Rice to be aired. We’re told that XM, which is appealing to Capitol Hill regulators and government types for the approval of a merger with rival Sirius, is more concerned about the political ramblings of O&A as opposed to any four-letter expletives the radio duo might utter.
