I signed up a couple of weeks ago and have not listened to local radio since. Clear Channel (owns more that 1600 stations) has destroyed local radio by programming the same 50 songs on whatever format they own. In addition almost every station syndicates the same mindless drival morning talk shows. Sirius frees you from this which is the real reason for spending the money to get it. Hopefully more people will realize this is the true reason for getting Satellite Radio. (Sirius would seem to be better than XM)
