XM Radio


Satellite radio saved my life. Before my daughters gave me an XM receiver for my birthday over a year ago, I wanted to drive into a tree. In the course of my workday, I might drive for two, four or even eight hours. Being limited to a company fleet vehicle with a standard issue radio, I was at the mercy of corporate terrestrial radio, and at the end of my rope. On one occasion, I counted Rush Limbaugh on five stations between Sioux Falls and Omaha. Nobody deserves to go through that!
So, now I go about my business with a smile. What I listen to is my decision, from Air America to the Home Plate baseball channel to The Loft, XM is music to my ears. As a baseball fanatic, I have passed many hours listening to play by play of MLB games while driving down the road. With many music channels, commercial free, I am in heaven. At the risk of sounding like a commercial, do yourself a favor. Check it out.
