XM Radio's Missing channel 61 "The Flow"

Is there anyone other than myself who is pissed now that XM radio has silenced channel 61 which was a great station to hear neo soul artists like Res, Eric Roberson, Javier to name a few. They seem to have added another channel which is more of a rip off of channel 20 and plays mostly Hip-Hop top 40. Does anyone know why I mean there are over 18 Rock stations in XM with at least 3 alternative stations or stations for new artists, why no love for R & B. Cats my age 35-50 dont want to hear what sounds like uneducated mumble jumble with un-original hooks all day, for that we can just listen to free radio. I thought "The Flow" was the single best advantage that XM had over Sirius radio, now i'll have to cancel my subscription.

Sirius has the same problem when it comes to a rock preference over R&B, though, probably because the service really seems to be aimed toward young white males (Howard Stern, anybody). Sadly, Sirus doesn't even have a black talk/news station however they do have OutQ, a gay/lesbain channel. Sirius does have one channel that is a mix of R&B and hip-hop hits. and one station that stresses old school while another plays modern to eighties songs. Still, they could use more vareity in this category.
