Article

This reads like an ad.

Most articles do. It's fine as long as it is NPOV, which it is. --Ryan 18:42, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

If someone who has a clue what connection the US edition has to the UK version can figure this: http://news.independent.co.uk/business/news/article307215.ece out, please feel free to edit the article accordingly... --Kiand 01:56, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Taste of Italy and Classic Instrumentals

Two stations I am getting are not on here. 192.235.1.34 22:23, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Are you sure you are not thinking of XM Satellite Radio which has exclusive "Taste of Italy" channel or Muzak?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.5.53.13 (talk) 05:22, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

I am 100% certain it is not XM or Sirius or any other music provider. I have Comcast. 21:12, 21 September 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.4.131.142 (talk)

Are you watching this on Comcast's High-Speed Internet service or on your digital cable tv service thru Comcast? 68.5.53.13 06:08, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

These are broadband channels of Music Choice. They are now noted in the broadband section of the article. The broadband service is not available in every cable system at this time, so many can't get it now. It's hard to find the info about this on their website, it's kind of hidden for some reason.

Music Choice Online

Where is the link to the player on the Music Choice website? 76.126.15.78 (talk) 23:56, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Music Choice Widescreen/screen burn-in

I noticed that some users have posted this, but had their posts removed. Is anyone checking what they actually see NOW before removing these posts. I checked mine on a analog tv and sure enough the channel is widescreen in my area also. Is this done by the cable system?Mca2001 (talk) 22:19, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Music Choice Online

It appears the online player is gone. 169.233.58.204 (talk) 04:19, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

OnDemand

No mention of the OnDemand Music Choice channels. Nice and accurate, huh? Apple8800 (talk) 14:17, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

General

Please correct these external links.
Please convert the bare URLs that are currently used for citations into Template:Cite web.
Please remove the small text from the infobox; the text is already smaller than normal as it is.

Introduction

I'd like to see the introduction broadened to discuss some of the information that you've included in the "Background" section.
Wikilinks to SWRV and Music Choice Play would be helpful for readers.

Background

Is there enough information around to turn this section into a "History" and give some more background information? As it is, its coverage is pretty narrow.
To me, this section also comes across sounding like an advertisement.

Music Choice channels

I would suggest splitting most of this section off into a separate article titled "List of Music Choice channels". I don't think its necessary to have this entire list in the main article.
I also noticed that several of the references in this section redirect back to the main Music Choice website; those channel guides will need to be replaced with active links.
We'll also need appropriate references confirming that all of the defunct stations you list actually existed.

Music Choice On Demand

Same here, the citation in this section redirects back to the main Music Choice website.

Music Choice Online

Same here, the citation in this section redirects back to the main Music Choice website.
We'll also have to find citations for the former online stations that you've included in the article.

Mobile devices

Same here, the citation in this section redirects back to the main Music Choice website.

Also...

I think we need to have a section in the article that talks about SWRV and Music Choice Play, because as it is, this article and their own articles are very brief in their coverage. Also, could you describe the service in a bit more detail, because as it is currently written, I'm not quite sure what makes these two any different from the main Music Choice.
Are there any viewership numbers available? That would be important information to include.
I'd also like to see some kind of critical reception if there is any for this kind of service.

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm going to have to fail this article. In its current form, it is much too narrow in its coverage; it's pretty much just a list of the channels with some small tid-bits of other information. It also looks like the article is based largely off of the main Music Choice website, which is not allowed because a) we need secondary sources to verify some of this information, and b) the ones we have are all dead. I definitely encourage you to keep working on the article, the extra efforts will be worth it when you bring this back to GAN in the future! WikiRedactor (talk) 20:04, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Edit Request 8/6/14

Sadly, MCU went off the air and was replaced by MC Indie. Could the mentions of MCU be taken off the page? I've already (along with a few other people) have edited the List of Music Choice Channels page to add MC Indie to the current channels and MCU to the former channels. And another thing, I still get Hit List in my area and other people said that it was taken off and/or replaced by Pop Rhythmic. I get both those channels in my area and I tried adding Hit List back to the list of channels, but it keeps getting taken off. If Hit List really did get taken off by Music Choice or replaced, it should go under the former channel spot! --24.147.1.197 (talk) 20:04, 6 August 2014 (UTC)Jacob Chesley

Lawsuits

So, what's the current status of the two lawsuits ? ? ?

With the first mentioned, nothing new has supposedly happened for the past four years. Really ?

As to the second one, granted only 1 year has gone by; but for nothing to have happened is a little unbelievable.

Updates, please ! ! ! 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 21:10, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
