I was just wondering, is there anyone here who subscribes to either XM or Sirius radio? If you so, do you like it?

RustyShackleford · 06-18-2004, 02:30 AM

Yes indeed XM is really cool, but the only thing I see wrong with it is you have to be a fan of all genres of music like, pop, rock etc. or its not worth it, and the only other problem with it is if you pass under a bridge or something it like loses signal, but comes back like 3 seconds later. hope this helps

I guess it's a good thing I like different genres of music. I don't have either one yet, but have been considering it. I'd be interested in knowing if all programming is commercial free, and how many stations are dedicated to a particular genre (ex. 6 pop stations, 3 r&b stations, etc.) What's the breakdown?

There are absolutely no commercails, all there is like mabye a 30 second station promotion just saying who they are.

As for the channels that can be anwsered right here

Ok, another question. How soon do they add new songs? Say if regular commercial radio starts playing a brand new Britney Spears (or whoever) single on Monday, would you hear that on one of the satellite stations that day, that week, that month?? I like hearing new stuff as soon as it's available if I'm listening to a current hits (as opposed to oldies/old school) station.

I believe it would be the same, it would probably take a little longer for it to go into circulation but i have heard most of the recent stuff on there, so yes

They do however have 80's related commercials on the 80's channel. Which I think is awesome it's got news, tv themes, movie themes
