There's a funny side of Christmas radio and it comes from various angles: some of the content actually on-air and online plus the Radio business itself and the humor it provides as seen by the people who work in it. Have some fun and read about the funny side of Christmas Radio. (Graphic Credit: © Corey Deitz)

SIRIUS XM Satellite Radio has a pretty attractive promotion going on right now designed to lure back former subscribers. Deactivated radios have been "turned back on" for almost two weeks (as of 11/17) in an attempt to tempt once-paying customers with 60 channels. The freebie will stayed in place until November 30.

If you take the bait and decide you miss your Satellite Radio, SIRIUS XM will let you resubscribe for 5 months for $20 and waive the reactivation fee. Their offer ends December 15, 2009.

It's not a bad promo. I have to admit: I turned on my radio and enjoyed a couple of channels while doing some work at home. I left the service "in a huff" earlier this year - after some frustration - but now am mulling it over. It might be an offer I can't refuse.
