Satellite Radio (Sirius/XM) Ping List
Freepmail me to be added.
Interesting tid bit. Too bad for those of you who pay for both.
I think the writing is on the wall. There is a lot of interest in satellite radio, but not enough to support two companies right now (see: AFL vs. NFL). The result will be a merger.
Follow the letter of the law but stifle the technology. What's more, their design can be used to shut down competing designs even if they do not go to market.
They both stink.
I have shipmates who carry Sirius and xm radios. I've spent plenty of time listening to both.
Not worth paying for at all.
Both services have "conservative" programming on one channel. The programming is weak. Only show worth the listen is Laura Ingraham. Michael Reagan seems to play all day in repeats. I'll say this as gently as possible about Mike....he's just dumb. No wonder they carry him most.
Lots of lib talk channels- npr, heir-America, chick channels, etc.
After one year of tryin'- I'm not buyin'.

If they had receivers that could handle both, I think they might be surprised how many people would subscribe to both.
After all, some people have both HBO and Showtime.
Alright, I see you have a ping list so I assume you know something about this. I hope you can answer a few questions for me.
I'm planning to buy the hardware tomorrow, but haven't decided which yet and I've now read through a couple of threads to try to get informed. I still have some questions.
I was told that Sirius is better in covering football. Does that mean both NFL and college football? Would XM still be a big improvement in football coverage over what most people can get through AM/FM? Do you know if XM plans to bring aboard more football coverage?
How do the two compare in conservative and news talk? Are there many big names on either one? Which one carries Laura Ingraham? Is Glenn Beck on one? How about Michael Medved?
I spend about 5-6 hours a day in my car and listen to music about as much as sports and talk radio. I sampled XM recently and loved the jam bands/progressive station (they were playing the complete 40+ minute version of Thick as a Brick by Jethro Tull when I was in there, something I know you won't hear on any commercial station). I also love jazz and oldies. Which one has a better lineup in your opinion?
Hey, sorry to throw so many questions at you. I'll understand if you don't have time to answer all my questions, but if you can answer by tomorrow morning, I'd sure appreciate hearing what you have to say.
