Default XM vs Sirius Radio

I wish Ford would give you a choice between XM and Sirius radio. They still are different.

XM has the American Trucking channel, Road Dog Trucking channel and some other talk programs that I listen to. Sirius doesn't have these and has nothing different that I want to listen to.

So today once again I installed my XM radio in my 2012 complete with all the wires that are always in our way and look ugly. I will let my Sirius free 6 months run out just as I did in my 2008 and my 2010.

I used to be in love with the Sirius in my dad's 2006 Dodge...now I just stream everything I want to listen to through my iPhone. This is especially true when you take in to account that most sat stations are mainstream. You don't have any regional channels to choose from like you do with streaming services. ie, I'm a huge Red Dirt fan (I don't even listen to mainstream country anymore) so I just listen to the apps that stream red dirt stations and BT it through my radio.

Sterns over rated, Jason Ellis is the future!

The fools that hired Howard Stern for all those millions are what caused satellite radio to nearly go broke and make it still a penny stock.

Stern is past his time. He is only on live three days a week and its all the same bits as when he first started. Jason Ellis and Opie and Anthony are the shows to listen to. That's why I have had XM since 2003.

That is what I thought. Sirius/XM is what their name is now.
