If you don't want to hear the DJ yammer, change the station.

Problem solved.


Every station on Testical radio has all that. It's not that simple.

Every station on Testical radio can be tuned out when necessary. It's
that simple.

Ah, but wait...I'm pretty sure satellite radio requires a subscription.


Not only do you not need to pay a subscription, you no longer need a
satellite receiver. Just download from the internet the shows onto your
Ipod.

There goes that idea.


And Free Radio requires listening to 20 mins of commercials, yammering
djs and stale playlists. There is a reason people are willing to pay for
the service. Its simply better and worth the $0.40 or so cents a day.


Now that XM has two of those three elements, how long do you think it
will be till they go back to 20 minutes of commericals every 30 minutes?

As others have mentioned it requires a subscription, so no free lunch.

Also, my experience with satellite radio is at best mixed when driving
around trees and tall buildings. It pops in and out.

Given the wide variety of programming on free radio I see no reason to
pay for satellite based signals. AFAIK they do not support local news
and traffic so that is a significant minus. T

Wide variety? Where do you live, I'm moving there. Everyplace I've lived in
the past 2 decades has been the same old crap, talk shows on AM (and now
encroaching on FM, too) and your choice of the same old Country/Pop/Rap/Rock
on FM. There's no easy listening, no classical (except in a couple of large
cities), no alternatives to the pablum that corporate radio wants to feed us
(and that includes the Corporation for Public Broadcasting/PBS/NPR). If
you're lucky, you may get live drive time shows, the rest is all satellite
fed with local voice-overs.
