Considering that Stingray was introduced just 6 months ago, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for Much Music to be reinstated.

I totally disagree. I like Stingray. I like variety. Stingray reminds me of the old XM Radio before Sirius merged with them and really reduced the quality of it by basically made it FM radio. Why is it that people only want to hear the same few "hit" songs over and over again instead of broadening their musical horizons? I never have understood that. Like the last girl I dated had "Centuries" by Fall Out Boy on repeat in the car...she listened to it over and over and over...there will be no second date with her!

I do not use Stingray. I use Pandora and they let you choose the music you like. Pandora is available through an app on most smart tv's and blue ray playing along with Roku and most streaming devices. Pay 3.99 per month and you will get add free music also if you do not like a song give it a thumbs down and it will be removed from your play list.

I use Pandora too. I also use IHeartRadio, Slacker, TuneIn,, Live365, ITunes, AccuRadio, Stingray, RadioPup, and SiriusXM (though that's more for sports, comedy, and talk). In addition to loving a wide variety of sports, I love a wide variety of music. So I could also be MusicFan1972. Shoot, when you get right down to it I just love LIFE and everything it has to offer me!

Don't hold your breath @tinastone - we learned this winter that AT&T signed with Stinkray (as I call them) and the contract lasts for either 3 or 5 years. The music service is pathetic. They must have gotten a better deal. Music Choice is the standard for cable TV providers and this is the second time that AT&T has dumped them against many wishes.

We were doing some cleaning and the wife wanted to have music playing. After two songs she was screaming to turn that %#%@#$ off!

Sadly there is no way to use Pandora, iHeart and so on via the AT&T box.

To directly tell AT&T how you feel, I would recommend that you send a private message to the escalation team at AT&T Customer Care, and someone will get in touch with you.
