@Cail - not sure what it is like where you live, but Philadelphia commercial radio sucks anymore. About the only decent stations are WXPN (Penn's station, which is adult alternative), and WRTI (Temple's station, which is classical during the day, and jazz at night). And the commercial interruptions are unbearable.
I'd rather spend $10/month for uninterrupted quality music pretty much tailored to my listening taste.
Cail some SiriusXM stations are free off their website. Paying for it makes it commercial free too, so it's basically non stop entertainment. Dena I loved new wave back then better than rock\hair metal. I appreciate rock from then more now and enjoy it.
@Moose, that's fair. I might too, if I listened to the radio more. I hope it doesn't go the same way pay TV did, to where now there are more ads on cable than on free broadcast TV -- which a lot of young people don't even know still exists.
My wife used to laugh that I paid for radio in my vehicle. Then she got it in her new car and wonders how she lived without it. Commercial radio is almost unlistenable anymore and the state of popular music is abysmal. Even my rap loving teens love it. However the music they listen to is vile with unacceptable language as it isn't censored on Sirius. For the I almost demand they listen to commercial radio. Also if you drive long distances Sirius remains with you anywhere you are, like road tripping with a friend. It's actually odd how much I like it.
@love-to-boat...Madison is the absolute worst. She was on mornings on First Wave for years, but now they have Larry the Duck in the morning, who is actually quite good.
What, am I the only one who will admit the only time they turn on their factory-installed XM radio is when it's a long weekend/holiday FREE listen? Otherwise, it's not on in my car.
Used to listen to 40s on 4, 60s on 6, 70s on 7, Deep Tracks, Chrome, Pops, Symphony Hall - wasn't there a Disco-only channel, like 54 for Studio 54?
when My senior citizen neighbors are in their yards being nosey I blast Sympony hall or opera and after a few minutes i switch to liquid metal..From Verdi to Behemoth lol the looks on their faces is priceless
Octane is on most often. Occasionally, I'll listen to 1st Wave. It is great on a road trip. No futzing with the channels every 5 minutes to find something within range.
None. I got Sirius free with my car purchase. How many times a day can a person listen to Cher sing Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves? Yeah, three top Cher hits every day, at least once, if not twice. People pay for that s _ _ t?
We live far enough out of town that we get very limited radio stations. I spend a lot of time running between work sites, so to me, it's worth the small amount I pay for month to have lots of options.

Used to love BBC Radio 1, but they took that off the air a few years back. You know, because it was popular and people enjoyed it. Bastards.

ReplyDelete@sandy - 1st Wave is way better than 80's 0n 8 imo, but I liked the bad synth stuff better than rock back then.

ReplyDeleteAny of the music channels play the same songs over and over. Didn't see the advantage to satellite radio.
ReplyDeleteNone.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite channel expired when Sirius told me my lifetime membership expired.
Don't need it.
Don't want it.
So many other free listening options/Apps out there.
