    XM radio 90% of the time..........CD's 5% , MP3 player 5%

    Love XM in the summer....listen to lots of baseball games, During Football season listen to football whenever it's on while I'm driving.

    Bill O'Reilly at either 8 PM or 11 PM (ET) on XM 121.
    Then I'll also listen to 121 at various times for the news, just to keep up on things.

    Mostly listen to music though.

    When I become fatigued, I find that listening to the comedy channels on XM will usually get me laughing, which in turn wakes me up a bit.

    JUST LOVVVVVVVE my XM radio. I dont think I could do this job without it.

    Rarely use the CB .........usually just at shippers or receivers. And going by the cathouses.....some of the stuff those girls say to entice us to come in and see them is darrrnnnnn funny, I don't care who you are, it's funny! :)

    #### they ALMOST got me to come in by offering free coffee and a free shower!!!!! But (fortunately) I didn't have the time to stop! Whew! :biggrin_25517:

    Xm. But now that the newly merged Sirius-Xm is trading at 13 cents a share, who knows how long that will continue. Hopefully someone will buy it up and put something on the air for us. I can't imagine going back to AM-FM after almost a decade of satellite.

    When I was driving, I'd primarily listen to AM/FM radio. But I got sick and tired of the SOS on talk radio. I like just about all types of music, other than rap-crap. I also listened to a lot of audio books.

    I seldom had the CB on, unless it was necessary. I just couldn't stand the bo-jive on there.

    I was totally unaware that they even had this. What channel and what kind of books do they have?

    The "books" to be honest are pretty bad. There usually isn't anything interesting going on there. Once in a while I'll tune in and hear a good radio drama. The channel was much better when XM first came out. When they do books, they read a few chapters and then you have to tune in at some later time to hear the rest. Plus you can't pause them. They used to play one hour radio dramas pretty much all day long, I enjoyed those better. The old Time radio channel is excellent. My favorites are Gunsmoke, Have Gun Will Travel, and The Shadow.
