Sirius Satellite Radio & Howard Stern

October 4, 2007 · Posted in Health

I have a Sirius Satellite Radio in my truck. It rocks. Here’s why.

The main reason I purchased a Sirius radio and subscription is the King of all Media: Howard Stern. When I first moved to the Baltimore area, I used to listen to Howard every morning on my way to work. At that time, he was still on terrestrial radio and had me laughing till I was crying every morning. Even when things were bad in my life, I could count on a good laugh in the morning and a great start to my day. It was also during this time that Howard announced that he was moving to satellite radio where his show would be uncensored. I could only imagine how much funnier the show would be without censorship constraints and boy was I right.

That was over 2 years ago and I don’t regret it one bit. The show is ridiculously funny and entertaining. Now I can listen to it to and from work because the show replays all day and I don’t have to miss that much of it. The good thing is that if you want to keep listening, you can log into Sirius’ website and stream the show online. This is awesome if you are one of the fortunate ones who can listen at work(I can’t).

Besides Howard, Sirius is just an all-around awesome service. It has every genre of music and all the music stations are commercial-free. You can’t get that kind of service from XM radio. There’s also sports, comedy, lifestyle, and other talk programs including one of my favorite: Playboy Radio.(read my previous entry about my visit to the Playboy mansion if you haven’t already) For all you rap fans, Eminem has his own radio station, Shade 45, as well.

Now that I’ve had my Sirius radio for this long, I just don’t think I could switch back to regular radio. I would also not want to switch to XM and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else going to XM either. I’ll make it easy for you:

Sirius: Howard Stern, commercial-free music, NBA, NFL, Nascar, Baseball
XM: 1 Hour of Oprah a week, music with commercials, a pathetic lineup

Honestly, one of my best friends has an XM radio in his truck and I HATE riding with him and I make fun of him every time I see it. That’s how good Sirius is in comparison. If you are going to get a satellite radio, go with Sirius. In fact I will make it easy for you.
