All This Science: Recent Episodes

Satellites are used in communication. SiriusXM Canada is a cool satellite radio station with many channels. Recently, CBC Radio 3 was dropped from the line-up. We think CBC Radio 3 should be reinstated. Here's a poem about it (that I wrote, of course! )
Are you Sirus XM ?
Hey Sirius XM
Why you drop indie Creme de la Creme ?
Tossing out CBC3
Denying new bands royalty
Stifling creations of Chemistry
Selling the cheese without the Brie
I like Drake and The Barenaked Lady
And I'm not the real Slim Shady
But I don't need these constantly
Not 24/7 this century
You're spiffing up your satellite network
But your pledge of discovery, you totally shirk
I don't want to be a jerk
But you ain't no Captain J.T. Kirk
In your desire to make some cutbacks
The songs I write suffer heart attacks
You've broken all our indie backs
Not all can make vinyl from the wax
Sirius XM Canada, I beg you.
Do that thing that you should do.
Bring back Channel 162 !
Now.
