        I switched to satellite years ago (when there was two competing services) because I once had an hour long drive and didn’t hear anything but ads the whole way. I was fed up with it.

        I now pretty much use Spotify because XM and Sirius merged, so now there’s only the one service, and they immediately cut features, introduced ads, and jacked up prices. So I cancelled.

          You mean as soon as two competeting companies merged to create a monopoly it caused massive problems? Who could have guessed!

          I bet when you canceled you got harassed for years after with weekly letters in the mail begging you to sign up. Every time I’ve bought a car I’ve had to deal with this same bullshit.

      This is tangential to the conversation but have you heard of Radio Garden? You can listen to radio stations around the world. As for “good radio stations,” I’m partial to college radio stations like 90.7 FM in NYC. They have a lot of freedom with their playlists.
