Satellite Radio

My Sirius (now SiriusXM) experience is summed up in one word.  FREEDOM.  Free from all the commercial filled FM stations where you end up not hearing a single song if you hit a commercial break at that perfect moment. I got my one and only Sirius received upon hearing the news Howard Stern would be leaving the FM airwaves.  Initially I figured all I would need to listen was his show and nothing else.  Well January 2006 rolled around and I was introduced to over 100 channels of “stuff” as I called it.  If I wanted a laugh I’d navigate to the comedy channel, if I wanted news, I’d go to the news channels, and if I wanted music….whoa.  Commercial free music, I had a ton of channels to choose from. 

Then came the Bubba The Love Sponge Show.  These guys are crazy, in a good way and solidified my yearly subscriptions to the service.  Now because of this consider myself a lifelong member of Sirius.  I look forward to the company’s growth and prosperity.  Terrestrial Radio SUCKS!

I actually Like the new Content of Sirius XM I enjoy the new progamming.  Previously, I couldn’t get certain programming as a Sirius customer like: MLB, Opie and Anthony and lots of ACC and other sports and talk channels. Since the merger, I like that I can get this programming. I am confident that Sirius XM will be here as a company for years to come.

I went to college in the United States, where I first discovered Howard Stern. I have an internet subscription that I have had for the past year now. The only reason I subscribed was to listen to Howard Stern.  The nice thing about the 7 hour difference we have with New York is that The Howard Stern show is an afternoon show for me.  I can sit back and listen to the whole show without having to get up at 6am I was following Howard through his site and the Stern Fan Network and as soon as the online option was available, I joined. I would really like though for the SiriusXM company to expand their coverage and bring it to Europe.  Imagine how many more millions of subscribers would join.

I couldn’t imagine life without XM.   I’ve had it since it came out about 5 years ago…Since NYC has NO country music stations at all (even though there are about 4342  hip hop/rap/pop stations), my redneck ass needs XM for survival.  Yes, I essentially pay to listen to country music.  Not only that, my evening commute would simply suck without Jason Ellis on Faction 28.  A few years ago, I canceled it for a few months thinking I could handle it, but I nearly lost my mind and quickly had it reinstated.   When I’m on a long drive, it’s always fun to put on 247 and listen to the nation’s emergencies…or traffic and weather in other cities across the country.  Yeah, I’m weird.

Why I love Sirius…..

My commute is over 60 miles each way. I love having my McDonald’s coffee and hearing Bababooey use the word “f” word - if he wants to.

I love that if I wanted to talk about the Wake Forest linebackers for an hour, I can tune into Rivals Radio (ch.122). I love that I can hear exactly what I want to hear, when I want to hear it, without interference from the FCC!!

I started listening to Sirius/XM two years ago after I returned from some time in rural Wisconsin.  I wanted REAL music, lots of different types music, so I opted for Sirius/XM.  I knew about satellite radio when it first came out but I just didn’t have the desire until I resurfaced into society.  I think it may have been the divorce.

I mostly listen to my satellite radio in the car, I use a portable Pioneer INNO device.  My favorite stations are Alt Nation, Fred Schneider (1st Wave), and my newest favorite - Sirius XMU!

If there is one thing I cannot live without, it is my Sirius Satellite Radio!  Each morning I wake up to NPR or NPR Talk.  I love that I have friends who listen as religiously as I do, when something exciting happens, I know I can quickly send a text message or a facebook message to a certain few friends and share the news.

Since the merger between XM and Sirius, I’ve been able to enjoy so many additional channels which is a bonus.  Now we have the BBC 1 Channel and additional music channels.  Though I am not a Grateful Dead fan, if you like, you can even listen to the Grateful Dead channel.

In any case, I posted my Sirius blog for anyone who may be interested in trying it out.  I cannot say enough good things about it.  It is how I get through cleaning my apartment every weekend.  I put on 1st Wave or the Punk Rock station OR The Chill station and I clean for hours without a second thought to changing the channel because there are no commercials!

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!
