Pandora instead of XM or Sirus radio

I have Pandora One as I was working in IT at a computer for long hours before going OTR. I have the unlimited data with Sprint but their data coverage combined with the Samsung Galaxy S2's crap data reception makes for a pretty useless experience. Sticking with XM for the foreseeable future.

Pandora does rock, though.

 

I will be sticking with SiriusXM because I mostly listen to talk radio and there are commercials on those channels. So I am always changing the channels to avoid commercials. I have about 20 preset channels and can change without taking my eyes off the road.

Most talk shows start at about 7 minutes past the hour, first break 15-20min after, then bottom of the hour. Starts up again at about :35, then break at :45, return at :50, break :55, back just before the top of the hour for a few final words. So you basically can tune out of a typical syndicated talk show from :55 to :07 and the other breaks. The SiriusXm shows don't have as many breaks and break at different times. But I mostly listen to the syndicated talk shows that are on SiriusXm.

During the breaks I'm flipping to other channels, sports, and music.
