Subject: a question about XM

After going a couple weeks without having talk radio on at all, I finally tuned in the other day and its really something you should all do - it really makes you see how its almost like a joke, as you think... "this can't be for real"

What's funny (or sad) is as you listen, it makes you think how it all sounds like an infomercial with the callers that do get through saying their political version of, "WOW you mean I can get both tubes of ear wax cleaner for 19.95!" Anything to agree with the host or his agenda.

So my question is, as I've finally given up on WABC here in NYC, is XM any better? I asked one guy I know that has it, and he said he got it for the sports programing (which to me is worse then listening to infomercials, but that's another story! LOL)

I'm curious not only from a talk radio aspect, but for music too (as I agree that's almost as bad as the various talk formats are)

[> I haven't heard of any big buzz about talk on XM yet. From what people tell me it's alternative for background music. I just can't help feeling like it's cable tv all over again. Pay for no commercials then get loaded up with them anyway. -- Surf, 18:45:42 06/18/03 Wed
