I guess this is nice, but I don't pay for extra radio stations like I would for cable.
I don't need satellite radio anyway, there's enough OTA programming on the radio to satisfy me. |

Hot damn! Ever since they dropped the Chinese channel a few years ago I'd hoped they'd provide something new.
Once you go XM or Sirius, you never go back to FM afterwards. The amount of variety is fantastic and having so many of the channels without commercials is great. I had mine installed a few years ago before my 9 hour drive to Otakon. During the entire trip, I left it on the 80's channel and never heard the same song OR artist twice in that time. I only hear FM when in my wife's car and it's like torture. I'd rather have programming that I want than what those behind FM want you to have. Especially recently when so many 60's oriented channels have disappeared and gone to the same top forty format. |

Oh wonderful. What channel will get kicked off the platform for this? We lost Liquid Metal for Major League Baseball.

I only listen to CDs while driving so I could care less. That being said, I only listen to anime music while driving.

Its cool though that they are at lest trying it i think, i hate hour blocks of stuff, when i lived in Southern New York State the only non country came on between 12mid-3am, and now in DFW(Dallas) every saterday at 12midnight is a 3 hour block of repetive techno which is annoying as hell becouse thats during my hour or so drive home, point is is that i have generaly given up on radio over 3 years ago some times i see whats on though,but the first thing i did with my truck was put in a cd/mp3 player and i have listen to nothing but J-rock/pop mp3s since (have over 4k) and haven't looked back since

Maybe if you like the crap they play on there it's better but when I worked at Circuit City I could never find a good channel to listen to before we opened. We had a deal where we could get thet personal unit but I never took it because they didn't have a Jpop channel. Now, if it gets better and I hear people are liking it, I might get it, but I'm still bitter about XM and Sirrius shutting down any chances of a WebRadio company that broadcasted stations from around the world. I would rather hear stations from India and Japan than listen to pop looped back every couple of hours. |

This is why conversations online suck. Some people just gotta call everything crap. Out of 150 odd stations, there's nothing you could like at all? C'mon. If you're just interested in stations from India and Japan yeah you're going to have trouble. But startups take time before they can offer stuff like that. I love j-pop and other Japanese music genres but I can easily listen to a lot of other things. I've got like 8 channels preset in my car to XM from a couple of the decades, to dance, to watercolors, talk, comedy and so forth. More than enough variety in the "crap" - especially in comparison to hearing the same thing over and over again on the local FM channels. |

I can't listen to FM radio anymore. 22 minutes of commercials an hour is torture. Stations change format so fast these days because they never want to take the time to build a station's local buzz. It's all about instant gratification and quarterly listenership more than ever now. And these jockless stations like Jack FM are nothing more than iPods with commercials. I can never seem to get into a station I like anymore because when I rely on it for my daily commute it eventually goes away. Where I am, Clear Channel's been flipping stations the most over the past couple of years. 105.3 flipped 5 times since 2001, 105.7 3 times, 96.7 2 times, 105.1 1 time for no reason.

Have your tried college radio? It's commercial free and full of variety. College stations (as well as other forms of non-commercial radio) can be found between 87 FM and 92 FM. |

Thats one reason why I never listen to ClearChannel radio stations. The radio station I listen to here in Barksdale AFB/Bossier City is 101.1 KRMD a Cumulus station. |
