Canadian comics are sounding the alarm over an abrupt shift in content on a satellite radio comedy station that many count on as a significant source of income. While there has been no formal announcement, it appears the Canada Laughs channel on Sirius XM Canada will now be curated by Montreal's Just For Laughs. Mandel said Sirius XM Satellite Radio approached the Montreal company wanting to "retool" the station. He stressed that content from Canadian comedians, including up-and-coming performers, will continue to be played on the station. "They came to us and said, could you help us with the Canadian comedy," he said.
