I have XM radio (recently) and XMSR is my largest portfolio holding.

My main interest in getting XM, aside from investment purposes, was to listen to Christian music. I've been fairly disappointed, in that the best they offer is a Top 40 format. It's very good sometimes, but too often it's not good at all. Perhaps that will improve; they are young. The lack, or near lack, of commercials is great. I find the lack of DJ color makes for a boring monolithic presentation.

As for this XM/Sirious right/left thing, I don't place too much stock in it. XM, after all, offers a Playboy channel; nothing conservo about that in my book. And XM has plenty of off-color channels.

I never thought I'd pay for radio, but all in all I think it's worth it. And as XM begins to turn a profit (something it looks like Sirius will never do), we can expect the content to improve.

I've heard that Sirius is more financially stable. Sirius offers
Fox News, although I'm REALLY sick of all Scott Peterson, Kobe Bryant,
and Michael Jackson all the time.
Sirius does inject incredibly lefist propaganda in the guise
of "Icicle Minutes."

When XMS gets Rush Limbaugh, I'll look to save for it.

"Hank's Place", on XM, has excellent classic Christian music on Wed. and Sun. night. I expect they'll do better as they get more popular, with other channels.
