In June, when I purchased my Toyota FJ Crusier, I was on the fence about getting satellite radio. I had a choice between XM and Sirius. I went with XM just because I felt they were bigger and might be around longer than Sirius. Today, I get into my car, and find that I have extra stations and different music channels, and Howard Stern! Cool. It seems that XM is now offering the best of Sirius, and Sirius is offering the best of XM. Can you tell I’m excited about this?
It is so nice to listen to the radio without having those distracting ads. Some of the stations have a little bit of DJ talk, but it’s very minimal, they don’t drone on and on. I was really on the fence about paying to have radio, but it’s very cheap, and it’s really awesome. Similar to cable TV, how many years ago people just thought there was no way anyone would pay for something that is already free (ha, ha!).
Anyway, big props to two huge media companies for getting together and making a cool product even better.
Cheers,
Jerry
