“Pitch a Fit for Subsoniq” This Tuesday @ 9 pm EST/6 pm PST

February 6th, 2010

This coming Tuesday, I’m trying to organize a rally to “Pitch a Fit for Subsoniq”. This rally will be taking place during the normal airing of Subsoniq on Backspin. If you are apart of this group, and have Sirius or XM, please take 10 minutes to call into Sirius or XM and file a complaint with a customer service representative.

Please note, when calling into the Sirius or XM customer care (1-800-967-2346 XM OR 1-888-539-7474 Sirius):

1. Always insist that you take a “survey” if offered at the end of your call.

2. When you are complaining, ensure that you request the rep you speak with to note in the customer resource system that you are “upset about the decision to pull Subsoniq from Backspin”. Please be sure to mention the channel name as well as the name of the show spelling it if necessary!

3. Never be general, ALWAYS be specific… state the EXACT reason for your discontent and don’t just state “programming issues”

Thank you for your participation in this event and being apart of the “Bring Back Subsoniq or Else! group!

Stay tuned for more information and events.
