Commercials On XM Radio
Has anyone else noticed that XM seems to be playing more and more commercials as time goes by. I first subscribed to XM about 2 years ago and still love it, but it just seems like the commercials are slowly creeping into the programming.

I agree. It is quite funny that we pay $12.95/month to NOT be like terrestrial radio, but they are slowly making it that way. I guess that's the trade off they make when they are having trouble paying the bills. I've got a handful of stations that I really enjoy, and those are yet to be "commercialized"; however, if they do become overly commercialized, then XM will be getting a nasty letter from me and the location to send the remainder of my 2-year subscription money.

I have listened to XM 6 days a week, 10 hours a day, since very early Sept 2001. I have not noticed any commercials on music channels except for the XM ads they sometimes play. The only music channels that are supposed to have non-XM commercials are 11, 21, 22, 24, 161, 173 and all those channels are FM rebroadcasts and lame anyway.

What kind of a subscription do you guys have with sirius? When I first started out, I did the monthly subscription, just so I could have a taste of it. I loved it from the get-go.
However, I have been EXTREMELY lazy and have yet to change the subscription plan to a longer time period. I should have changed it a long time ago, but if I dont know how much I have wasted, then it doesn't bother me
