We have been trying to decide between XM and Sirius. Howard Stern on Sirius makes it easy--XM here we come.
It was basically a half-hour advertisement for Sirius radio.
Towards the conclusion of the event, they had a bunch of employees hand out gift certificates guaranteeing a year of free Sirius, if you purchased a satellite radio...WITHIN THE WEEK!
Overall, it was pretty lame.
Though, as a public spectacle, it did offer some entertainment value. Especially watching their XM rivals-replete with Opie & Anthony gear-across the street, jeer Stern & Co.
Please consider that Stern is only one show that will be on Sirius. I have two subscriptions and am a stockholder. In my personal opinion Sirius has better content musically. That's why I love it. No stupid commercials no inane DJ's. Plus I get Tony Snow, Tammy Bruce, Laura Ingrahm, Geoff Metcalf and Rusty Humphries. There is something for everone's taste. XM also relies on many ground based repeaters whereas SIRI does not. Whichever way you go you won't be sorry. Satelitte radio is the wave of the future.
Personally, I have the opposite take on it. I love Howard. :o)
I understand - but - XM has Opie and Anthony, and if you thought Stern was gross...
I have a Sirius radio and I love it... None of the music channels have commercials. FOX News, BBC, Weather channel, are all on there.
If you like talk radio, XM has better choices PERIOD !!
I have both... IF you are a NFL fan get Sirius... They are both good I listen to XM more only because I'm around it more they are both good on Sundays the Sirius gets alot of play...
