The announcers are great..but the producers or whoever is responsible for the programming needs not to be working at the job. Every ten minutes they do a "leaderboard" which is a recording, by the third day, of the results of every match from the first day..that is every ten minutes, and then followed by commercials..and then a little bit of golf . Yesterday [friday] they could have been covering all the other matches [as well as tigers] with more detail, but instead you had to hear the 450th repeat of the results of the first day, followed by commercials. At the 18th hole yesterday at the Match between Tiger and O'hearn, they covered Tigers drive, but then broke away for their leaderboard, so you didnt get to hear O'hearns drive covered live, with the match all square. It is awful and a scam. This station has no talent except for the announcers the main reason I subscribed to xm was for the golf channel. They are thinking of a merger with Serius..this is a good way to lose the subscribers they do have. They need someone with 1/2 a brain and a little bit of talent to figure how how to program and fill the time with more narration xm's coverage of the WGC match-play in Tuscon-2/07--it's awful!!

Golf radio is not. Yes, there are tremendous opportunities for the imaginative - take The Golf Channel for example. It has successfully navigated this market with seeming ease. Good job, Donald.

Not for the fact that PGA TOUR is now going on the Sat. Radio, but because I own stock in Sirius and I wished THEY had the PGA TOUR :) call me selfish hehe. I don't even own a Sirius radio, but I eventually will. I hopped on the bandwagon when the stock was in the $1.3 an .65 cent range. Figured it was bound to go up :) Thats the one thing I wished I had was radio of golf tournaments when I am on the road. Listening to Lil Jon is cool and all, but I would rather hear about how Tiger and Phil are coming down the final stretch neck and neck :) I am kinda pissed off about this.
