Sirius radio going to ####

On the other hand Sirius' music-only package is pretty good.

I dropped talk/sports/weather a long time ago.

 

SiriusXM is all there is though. I like Stephanie, didnt know alex was gone, I haven't listened since they cut Stephanie down to 1 hour after they brought Mark in. Don't care about that boring show. There is still a lot on siriusxm. Raw dog, dirty dog, Howard stern, Carlin's corner, deep tracks, liquid metal and there is a lot of other channels that are great. Art Bell will be on too, for guys who like UFO talk (see you psycho alex jones!!) but I hadn't listened to Sirius left in a while.

 

Hmm. I just started a subscription about 6 months ago and I'm hooked. There's always something interesting and good to listen to. I happen to think it's the best $22 I spend every month and would be bored to tears without it.

By the way. I literally hated the Grateful Dead until I started driving. Then I came across the GD Channel and listened to it just for laughs. Now I find that it makes for some great cruising music. I'm hooked. That's what I really like about it. Trying new things. There's an abundance of it just waiting to be discovered...

 

You think sirius is getting worse try fm radio play the same 5 new songs over and over.

 

I like driving to mindless music. The big selling point of satellite radio was Commercial Free. That's true but they can barely go 2 songs in a row without a station identification. Worse yet on the 90's and 80's they have those stupid little jingles about every other song. Usually play 1 song, 1 jingle, then 2 songs, station ID then repeat. I like BPM over night, sometimes get lucky and have about a 3 hour block of back to back to back tunes. Then they start bringing the DJ's on who I swear when they talk all I hear is "Me me me I I me I I I me me me"

OK to the bosses at Sirius XM, what you have is a different breed of listener, we don't need to be entertained between songs by the DJ's like over on FM. I am seriously considering getting a VU Cube which will track satellite while moving so I can tune in to true interruption free music. The only good thing about my radio is that with the remote control I can back up a good song over and over for an hour then hit fast forward one time each time they want to jingle or talk and it skips to the next song. When it gets too bad I switch over to the Love channel god help me but they have no DJs nor jingles although they do play christmas crap for 2 solid months which is a real downer.

 

My biggest complaint is that the commercial free radio channels seem to have the DJ's that continually talk during the songs. If they want to talk about the song, do it before or after the song.

 

Check out Dr. Laura on channel 106, weekdays from 1400-1800 Eastern. You'll realize you're not that nuts, after all.

 

I would throw my radio out the window and run it over if I had to listen to "Dr Laura". I'd rather drive a spike through my head.

 

That really bugs me on BPM, the DJ wants to talk about the group's upcoming concert in Amsterdam and Australia. Of if 'you're going to be in NYC Friday night they are going to be playing at...' OK if I really cared I could look that up myself on this thing called the Internet.

I get it on the 80's channel, with the old VJ's from MTV but on the 90's channel there is absolutely no need for DJs to be blabbing about their personal lives between songs. It's almost like management over there is afraid former FM listeners won't be able to handle 100% music without being spoonfed stupid like Mike and Mike in the morning jingles and morning afternoon and evening commute DJ personalities.
