It won't let me listen over my iPhone, not exactly sure why something about R1 not broadcasting out of the u.k ? Any thoughts?

@TheSkeptic100 are you talking about live or podcast? there is an app called Tune In Radio Pro that allows you to stream live....and you can also find podcasts posted later...

I really miss listening in my car! If I'm home then I can listen live, but I really miss listening my car. We need this sorted out. We need BBC radio 1 back on SiriusXM.

@rybakt i so agree with every word that you said!!! american radio stations have never ever got it! why would anyone listen to hits 1, anyway??? the same song played within 2 hours of the last play, etc... i doubt sirius xm will bring radio 1 back [i'm hoping but not optimistic] i'm gonna end my xm service at years end....i'll want to listen to all the holiday music [about the only thing they do right] and i've had xm since 2002!!!!

Thanks for the shout out Scott and Becky! I can still catch a bit of the show in my car via the Tune In app on my phone. I am devastated!! Love you all!

I don't even listen to your show or this channel on the regular but I DID stop from time to time and I'm pissed too. I know some of us americans love what BBC sends our way and for Sirius to take off one of their most popular channels is retarded. Idk but I bet it's just another idiot at Sirius trying to justify his job just like the rest of the zeros that work there. XM would have never dropped you, thank you.

Thanks for posting this. Hopefully if everyone at BBC radio 1 is aware of the issue, BBC Worldwide (who control the overseas rights for BBC one) can negotiate with SiriusXM to bing back Radio 1.

Pissed beyond words, cancelled both subscriptions on the day they removed Radio one. You all need to cancel, they maybe they will get the message..................

[rybakt]

I'm cancelling my two Sirius subscriptions if BBC Radio 1 isn't returned. Why would I want to go to Hits 1, Alt Nation and what ever else to hear the same songs that were played on Radio 1 months earlier. US radio stations owners just don't get it! I want my BBC Radio 1 back!

I am very upset, might get rid of Sirus Satellite Radio all together
