Free Satellite Radios at CompUSA
David wrote: While supplies last. 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 |

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. |
