Listeners are mourning the demise of Sirius OutQ, the LGBT channel of radio service Sirius XM.
The channel will be removed from the satellite service as of Saturday and the streaming service February 18, Sirius XM tweeted in response to a listener's complaint.
\u201c@rndyadult OutQ is being removed from satellite on 2/13 and streaming on 2/18. Please DM us for info on where certain shows are going. -Ben\u201d— Randy Adult (@Randy Adult) 1455126826
Despite the mention of "certain shows," sources say this means the end of such popular programs as The Frank DeCaro Show, also featuring Doria Biddle; Dirty Pop, with Lance Bass; and The Morning Jolt, with Larry Flick. Flick will reportedly move to another Sirius XM channel.
Fans expressed their disappointment via Facebook and Twitter.
\u201cI'm very upset, I'm going to lose my good friends that I hang out with everyday. I learn something & laugh w/ @DoriaBiddle @frankdecaroshow\u201d— Colorado kid (@Colorado kid) 1455149705

\u201c@LarryFlick I can't believe Sirius is doing this to OutQ. This channel helped me realize I was ok and part of a thriving culture. So upset.\u201d— Marie L. Maurer (@Marie L. Maurer) 1455133307
Trudy Ring is The Advocate’s senior politics editor and copy chief. She has been a reporter and editor for daily newspapers and LGBTQ+ weeklies/monthlies, trade magazines, and reference books. She is a political junkie who thinks even the wonkiest details are fascinating, and she always loves to see political candidates who are groundbreaking in some way. She enjoys writing about other topics as well, including religion (she’s interested in what people believe and why), literature, theater, and film. Trudy is a proud “old movie weirdo” and loves the Hollywood films of the 1930s and ’40s above all others. Other interests include classic rock music (Bruce Springsteen rules!) and history. Oh, and she was a Jeopardy! contestant back in 1998 and won two games. Not up there with Amy Schneider, but Trudy still takes pride in this achievement.
