As a former member of the esteemed Met Opera, I am deeply saddened by SiriusXM Radio's decision to remove the Met Opera channel from its lineup. This move not only deprives classical music lovers of their beloved station but also demonstrates a lack of appreciation for this timeless genre. It is disheartening that we are left with just one classical music station amidst hundreds dedicated to pop music, many so similar that discerning between them becomes a task for programmers alone. The removal of the Met Opera channel is indicative of an alarming trend where profit-driven corporations overlook art forms that do not conform to mainstream tastes. According to Nielsen's Music 360 report, 35% of Americans still listen to classical music (source: Nielsen). This significant percentage cannot be ignored and should not be deprived of their preferred musical content. We urge SiriusXM Radio to restore the Met Opera channel immediately and respect all genres' diversity in its programming lineup. Please sign this petition and help bring back great music to those who love it most.
