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.

Sound off in the comments.

The limited-run channel Holly, which plays contemporary and Traditional Holiday music, first started making some noise a few weeks ago hinting that it would debut "in November."

Since then, the MySpace pages had the info removed, raising questions as to whether the celebrated holiday music channel would return.

Well now curtains have opened and the channel has updated its MySpace blog once again, to announce that Holly will make its triumphant return on November 12th on both Sirius and XM.

You'll be able to hear Holly on Sirius channel 81 and XM channel 35 starting tomorrow and through New Years Day.
