I Love My Sirius Radio

Not a day goes by that I can do without my Sirius satellite radio. There's so much commercial free music that you can listen to any genre whatsoever and always find something you'll like.

Sirius is similar to XM radio but each has their own unique stations. What Sirius says about themselves is "Satellite radio is more than the latest technology. It's an extraordinary new way to experience your favorite music, sports, news, talk, comedy - and it goes anywhere you go. No longer are your choices limited to where you live or travel. Satellite radio gives you the freedom to hear what you want, when you want to hear it. Imagine dozens and dozens of commercial-free music channels playing new and old favorites. Heart pounding coverage of your favorite pro and college teams. National news broadcasters you trust. Talk shows you rely on to inform and provoke. Even traffic and weather. That's satellite radio.

What I like is that back in the old days, if you had a favorite radio station and went on a trip, just a few miles from home could cause your station to static and you'd eventually lose it. Sure, you can pop in a CD but now you can listen to any type of music and the station remains clear and static free now matter where you travel. Another thing is that while you might want to listen to a rock station or country station, with Sirius you get all kinds of choices such as certain decades or certain types of music in that genre. For example, on the Octane channel you hear new rock with artists such as Audioslave, Linkin Park and more. On Lithium, it's the grunge and 90's rock bands such as Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. One of my wife's favorite stations is Hair Nation where we can listen to just hair metal such as Motley Crue, Poison, Bon Jovi, etc. With Sirius, the sky's the limit on what you want to hear.

Like to listen to news channels? Sirius has ABC, CNN, Fox News, E! BBC, NPR, NBC and more! Want to hear about the weather or traffic? All of the major cities are covered with Sirius radio. And if it's comedy or talk you're looking for, you can get Howard Stern and Martha Stewart.

You can get Sirius systems at most retailers and electronic stores. The cost is approximately $50 up to $150 and you do have to have a service plan, which is about $12 per month. It's well worth it though. Rumor has it that XM and Sirius are planning a merge. If so, you'll have even more choices for one low price!
