The satellite radio service Sirius buckled under pressure as negative response to the monopoly satellite radio service provider's removal of BBC 1 from its repertoire increased.
Hardly a week after it replaced BBC 1, Sirius XM, the satellite radio broadcaster, declared the channel's return, but in a half-hearted manner. BBC 1 will now be available on satellite radio, but only online.
Who asked the satellite radio service to remove the channel, why did it do so, why did it not inform customers beforehand and general lack of transparency, such things have irked customers against Sirius XM's sloppy customer care.
Fans of the said channel said they were not amused and would continue their agitation against the satellite radio provider until something concrete is not done.

The ardent followers of Sirius Satellite Radio were not happy last week as the service suddenly pulled BBC Radio 1 from its channel line up with no warning. The satellite radio replaced the programming with a loop about making space for a new channel.
Subscribers are ruing the lack of transparency from the satellite radio about this move. The common opinion is that if it is a subscriber based service then they should definitely have a say in the decisions. The power of the subscribers cannot be under estimated and there was a Facebook page for getting back BBC Radio 1 back on the satellite radio within hours of its removal. The page has an active group of 3,500 members.
All the calls and messages to the satellite radio have been useless as they have been ignoring the question with common answers regarding the feedback but no actual information about the removal of BBC Radio 1.
