Censorship on Satellite Radio: What's the deal with Lithium?

Following Orbitcast's interview with Sirius XM's President and Chief Content Office, Scott Greenstein, questions have come up about why listeners are hearing edited songs on 90s Alternative channel "Lithium."

My gut tells me that it was a mistake in the system. Afterall - and this is something that is impossible to convey in the written interview - Scott was extremely adament about the whole censorship issue. He was insistent that only three channels are playing "artist- and label-edited songs" and Lithium wasn't one of them.

So what gives? Why are people hearing radio-edits on Lithium?

It turns out that it is indeed a glitch that is being worked out (Scott actually talked about this in the interview). Some songs from the XM library were inadvertently included in Lithium's rotation, which is why there's an inconsistency in what people are hearing.

I'm told that Sirius XM are now correcting the problem. Rest assured, all the naughty language will be fully restored as soon as possible.
