I Love SIRIUS XM

A Pirates Redemption

taylor — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 20:36:54 +0000

I’ve been a fan of the original programming Sirius/XM had to offer since its inception. Even back when the two companies were at war, there was a huge array of great talk programming from both sides. Howard Stern, Bubba the Love Sponge, Opie and Anthony, Ron & Fez, Jason Ellis, etc. I am simply a talk radio junkie. I used to hijack my father’s Sirius online account from time to time to listen to programming live, but for the most part I would just download full shows and play them on my ipod. There is no denying the quality of these shows, but for the longest time I saw no reason to be a subscriber. That all changed this week when I signed up for the Sirius internet radio free trial. I am completely hooked on the sheer variety that Sirius/XM has to offer. Talk radio is my first love, but thanks to Sirius/XM internet radio, I fell in love with radio in general again. I realize I am late to the party, but I am blown away by the selection of commercial free music channels. On top of that, with the Sirius/XM online plan I also get the best of XM which means I get exclusive live programming from all of my favorite talk shows. I honestly could not be happier with my decision. It makes you wonder why Sirius/XM hasn’t completely taken over terrestrial radio. The music jocks are quick and to the point, the transitions are smooth, there are no commercials, and there are no FCC restrictions. With Sirius/XM there is no reason to even bother with the terrestrial radio industry that is running itself into the ground with lame bits, and overall corporate mentality when it comes to “entertainment.” No one wants cookie cutter radio and Sirius/XM is anything but that. They have successfully turned me from an internet pirate to a loyal customer in less than a week. Consider this my redemption, and my renewed faith in radio in general. Thank you Sirius/XM, you have just gained a subscriber for life!

Where else but Sirius-XM can you get Howard Stern and 100 plus stations of music and talk. With the NBA,NFL,NHL,PGA even Major League Baseball Sirius-XM offers everything to sports and music fans. With a Stiletto 2 and a home unit I can travel every where and enjoy Satellite radio every where I go.

I love my XM SkyDock

A new radio is out and it’s pretty darn cool. I’ve been enjoying it quite a bit from the ease of installation with PowerConnect to having fun changing the channels on my iPod touch with the swipe of my finger across the screen. It’s called the XM SkyDock and it turns an iPhone or iPod touch into an XM Satellite Radio. It’s super easy to use and setup and I totally love it. Checkout the video here.

DJ Who Loves Casey Kasem

I have been a DJ and “Door Diva” in nightclubs in LA, NY & Chicago for over 20 years. Nightlife and music is my job. One of my favorite shows on SiriusXm is the Casey Kasem’s countdown. I usually listen when I get home from work on Saturday mornings. Each week they go back in time and I am reminded of various points of my life and how that music effected me in that moment. It is like time travel.

My Cleaning Lady ALSO Loves My SiriusXM Radio

In addition to the numerous channels I enjoy as a SiriusXM subscriber, I now have another reason to love my radio. My cleaning lady is Hispanic and barely speaks any English at all. She cleans my apartment once a month and normally has to suffer through a quiet apartment. Recently, it occurred to me that SiriusXM has programming in other languages. SiriusXM has two channels: Viva and Caliente that my cleaning lady can listen to while she is here. It made her very happy.

John Has 9 Lifetime Memberships

I’ve been a fan of Sirius from the very start…I have 9 lifetime memberships all purchased before 2003 and that has already paid off. I didn’t really know the XM lineup. I’m a big fan of a few stations; Hits 1, The Pulse, Lithium, Coffee House, Hip-Hop Nation, Siriusly Sinatra, The Joint, and Howard 101.

In my work I can listen all day long so I tend to jump around on those channels. Overall, the only thing that really pisses me off is when they move channels. That reggae channel has got to have moved number assignments 3 or 4 times already…each time it moves I feel it is getting closer to being canned and that would really suck.

Most of my radios are Stiletto 100’s and I now have 2 Stiletto 2’s. I really like these for their WiFi capability since there is no reception via satellite or terrestrial repeaters where I am during the work day. I truly wish they would put the entire line up on over the Internet streams…heck, we’re already paying for the content right?

By the way…I am desperately hoping the merger actually works and turns profitable as I absolutely would hate to go back to commercial filled BS radio.

My Sirius Experience

taylor — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 10:38:13 +0000

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!

Travis D. Likes the New Content on SiriusXM

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.
