i'd thought i'd heard that xm was pretty heavy with 'station advertising'.. what's the case with this.. are there a lot of station identity breaks?

ah, that's not too bad.
i'm more interested in the rock (modern, alt, classic) and dance / techno stations, i like a good beat or some good rock n roll when i'm driving..
another Q along the same line as the first:
do the annoucements cut over the start of the songs?
big reason for getting satellite radio is, besides the no commercials, the annoying-as-all-hell dj's around here that talk and talk and talk and talk and talk into the start of the song (drive's me NUTS )

I like sirius b/c, for my personal taste, the techno channel offering is better.

I've had Sirius for 7 months now..Love it..I originally got it for Stern but i'm hooked on the commercial free music!! I did XM's free 3 day trial and still think Sirius does a way better job with the music and programming!!

I Have Two Radio's Xm, And Love It. I Have One Unit I Can Move From Office To Daily Driver, And Than Into The Corvette.

I Have Been A Xm Radio User For Many Years, And When I Went On The 2003 Caravan I Had A Blast The Dj From The 60's Channel Cause He Is A Corvette Guy, And Gave Him Daily Reports Of The Florida Caravan.
