Listening to radio in the Hartford market is just a joke.  They have no good morning shows at all.  If I try and listen during the day its nothing but commercials with occasional music.

I got XM about 4 years ago when Opie and Anthony resigned and it was the best decision I could have made.  I listen to Opie and Anthony in the morning followed by Ron and Fez middays.  After work and on weekends is when I get my music in.  Depending on the mood I am in I either listen to Alt Nation Ch 47 (formally Ethel) or Octane Ch 48 (formally squizz).

They also have a bunch of great stand-up comedy channels that I listen to, and during they summer they carry every baseball game.  Definitely worth the investment!
