They merge and they are here to stay. Best music.

THe only thing that is weak is there business channels. Commercials every 5 minutes and they loop the same stories every 30.

Ditto! Pre Sirius in my car, my radio was basically always on WEEI (Boston sports talk radio) which I really, reallly liked. Now, with Sirius, about the only time I'll listen to WEEI is when my car is in the carwash and the satellite signal can't get through the concrete walls to the receiver.

We have XM in my office, and it's the same thing, we used to have the local in town AM station that was a mix of talk/music, and now, the only signal that the reciever sends out over the speaker wire is XM.

I have no desire to switch to satellite. I'm totally addicted to EEI, and when they're in commercial, I listen to my MP3 player.


Gotta love EEI, what a great trainwreck everyday.

Only reason I switch to terrestrial radio is to listen to the Mets...

I got enough entertainment between free radio, Cd's and my nano. I don't drive much anyway. I can see having it in poor content/reception areas and for truckers/travellers, for sure. Don't miss Stern, either, since he's basically a shill for the porn industry. I liked his show when he was doing bits like Kurt Waldheim and homeless hollywood squares. Everything changes.

I love my Sirius. I rarely listen to regualr radio anymore.

GSS doesn't pay for radio..not with 4 hip hop stations in close proximity on the radio..

Just started my trial subscription...but with HD radio in the car as well I also have a few additional FM stations available to check out. I'll see if it's worth it.

It's addictive. Beware.
All the terrestrial radio presets in both our cars are still 89.3 FM, stock from the factory.

Still love Sirius...
Still love Howard... Disagree with the haters....
Still love Jam On and the GD station..
Still love the traffic..
Still love all the news...
Still love the NFL and now MLB...

I had Sirrius for a year. I'm not driving enough to justify renewing. I have an 80 gig iPod. That's fine.

 

[ERJ-145CA]

Still love my Sirius, my hour drive to work would really suck without it.

 

[drjeff]

New car has factory XM, way too much BS right now to get it switched to Sirius got the best of Sirius on XM package. Love it! Got my Stern, my MLB, my NASCAR, and soon enough NFL Lately been listening a bunch to Andrew Wilkow on XM 166 also

 

[Hawkshot99]

Lately been listening a bunch to Andrew Wilcow on XM 166 also

My favorite channel as well. Just wish my FM modulator was powerful enough to reach out across the lawns I mow, so I could listen while I mow. Only time I listen to terrestrial radio.

You should pick up the stilletto.

I bought the Sirius lifetime subscription years ago. It turned out to be a good move because I still listen every day. Alot of Stern's bits just aren't funny to me but I think he does the BEST interviews out there. The Jay Thomas show is underrated. Andrew Wilcow is not remotely my cup of tea.

Recently I switched radios from an FM transmitter setup to hardwired; the sound improved significantly. It made me focus harder on the music channels. I listen to Spectrum, The Loft (formerly Sirius Disorder...such a great name...they should have kept it), Coffee House, Grateful Dead, Jam On, The Joint, Chill (also underrated)...

Bob Dylan DJs a show on Sundays that's quite good....the guy's a natural.

 

[dmc]

Chill is great! Also the Garageband channel...

 

[deadheadskier]

what's the monthly subscription like these days? I had a rental car a few weeks ago and it was pretty nice.

Big question for me though would be if there is WEEI on there. That occupies a good 50% of my radio listening during the work day.

Root also does not pay for radio.

I have an 80 gig iPod. That's fine.

Root also has an 80 gig iPod and Root's car has an audio input port.

Yuck. Sounds like an excellent reason to START paying for radio.

No EEI on satellite That's about the ONLY time I'm not listening to satellite in the car, when I need either my Dennis + Callaghan or Big Show fix
