Greg Loves SIRIUS
August 31st, 2009
Hey Now! I love my Sirius radio. Seriously.
(lol, get it. Sirius, Seriously… ok lame)
No but really… I’ve never had any of the customer service problems alota of the Yelpers here have spoken about, mainly because i’ve never had to call customer service! Except for the ONE time i called to get my radio up and running, i’ve never had to speak with them and i’ve never had a problem! Maybe another reason for this is because I purchased the ‘Life Time’ subscription… but this was back in late 2005! I’ve been using the same radio receiver ever since and have never had any problems with it…
Several reasons i would suggest Sirius to anyone is of course, first and foremost, The King of All Media Howard Stern. He has been apart of my life forever now, and the show on Sirius is OUTSTANDING! I swear to you, I can’t even imagine how Howard worked on terrestrial radio all of those years… The uncensored show is just phenomenal…
And if that isn’t enough, the MUSIC is OUTSTANDING too! I mean honestly, where else can you get commercial free channels dedicated SOLELY to music genres such as 80’s New Wave, Old School Hip Hop, Springsteen and Sinatra? lol I love these channels…
I would advise anyone who listens to the radio to give Sirius a chance. Forget the whole monthly crap… bills suck anyway! If you can afford it, just buy the lifetime subscription and never worry about customer service!

My Love Affair With Sirius/XM
August 23rd, 2009
I am a long time Howard Stern fan, so much so that most of my friends say, “All stories end with Howard Stern” each time I open my mouth. They know that I will likley quote Stern or someone from the show. I am a long time listener but I am not the “typical” listener. I am female, in my 30s, highly educated (I have a Masters degree), a lover of the arts (I attend the opera at least once each season) and I consider myself to be somewhat of a feminist. I am also an unapologetic Howard Stern fan! I find the humor to be intelligent, and I in no way, find him offensive or demeaning to women (unless they ask). My favorite sort of humor is the kind where you beat a dead horse….over and over again.
When Howard moved to satellite radio, I knew I was going along for the ride. I had grown tired of the censorship that the show was forced to endure. I can still remember HOW excited I the first show to air. I was so happy to be able to listen in a non-censored platform.
Howard has been on Sirius XM for almost four years and since that time, I have discoverd a variety of other stations that I love. I probably listen about 20 hours or more a week. I set my clock an hour early each morning so I can lay in bed and listen to Stern. But Stern is not all I listen to, there is SO much more! Alt Nation, where you may find Quentin Tarantino guest DJ. Or, Faction where I often find myself tuning into Bam Margera or Tony Hawk’s radio shows. I once spent an entire day listening to French Punk Rock, the fact that this is a possibility is why I love Sirius XM!

I had been a long-time Howard Stern listener when he was on terrestrial radio, but I did not make the initial switch to satellite with him. When I recently received a Stiletto 2, I immediately tuned in to Howard Ch. 100. I hadn’t listened to the Stern show in over three years, yet it felt that I had re-connected with an old friend and we just picked up where we had left off. Once again, listening to Howard in the morning is part of my daily ritual. As far as the other Sirius channels, it feels like it did when you got cable for the first time…almost TOO much stuff to listen to. The Stiletto has usurped my iPod as my primary source of music. Every week, I record several hours of music from an ever-expanding selection of choices ranging from my old favorites (Classic Vinyl Ch. 14, Grateful Dead Ch. 32), to the current stuff the “kids” are listening to these days (Alt Nation Ch. 21, SiriusXMU Ch. 26), and even trying music that I never spent time listening to before (this week its Bluegrass Ch. 65). Even if (God forbid) Howard does retire in the next two years (Personally, I think its just posturing….he has ALWAYS played hardball when nearing the end of a contract), I intend to stick with satellite. I only wish I’d made the switch sooner.

I’ve Got Howard Stern All Day. I Don’t Need “Testicular” Radio.
August 2nd, 2009
I’m a dork, always have been. The only thing that makes me “cool” is that I listen to Howard Stern. Other than that, total nerd. In high school I watched pro-wrestling, played computer games and stayed locked in my room listening to music.
I love music. I’m the guy with the big CD collection. I’ve got everything from ACDC to the Quad City DJ’s and Prince to Warren Zevon. So I used to get excited when I saw those early XM commercials advertising tons of music channels.
At the time, I was a broke teenager with no car. So I couldn’t buy it, but I always said when I get older and get the money, I’m going to buy it. Well, fast forward and I never bought it. In college I was too busy investing in “recreational” paraphernalia.
Then a few years after college, my hero Howard Stern announced his move to Sirius. Now all of a sudden I HAD TO HAVE satellite radio. A month before Howard started his Sirius show, I bought it and—next to few a ladies of the evening—it’s the best money I’ve ever spent.
I don’t listen to “testicular” radio anymore. No need! I got Howard 24-7 and more than enough music channels. Like Howard, I’m a big Coffee House fan and dig Faction too. So nowadays the only regular radio I hear is Howard’s old tapes from K-rock.
