I have XM and I had it since its inception. I don't think these people were on the service when I signed up. I don't listen much these days so I don't know. I keep it around for the occasional "live in studio" events that they transmit. For example, I was in XM studios 23 June 2005 as a guest invited by Marillion for the session they performed there.

PRoNJ doesn't have radio of its own; it's bombarded by the radio of NYC. For a city that bills itself as the greatest city on earth, it has some really gawd awful radio and radio personalities. The worst: Howard Stern. I could hear one of his shows -- the transexual dial-a-date or the biggest-bimbo-butt competition -- and turn off for a year to tune back in a year later and swear I'm listening to the same show. I really don't see the big attraction to Stern. Unless you're sexually depraved or deprived -- wherein I see where you might get your jollies listening to Stern who, like you, can't get any unless his promoters or booking agents pay some bimbo to strip in the studio for you -- there's nothing in a Howard Stern show that's worth listening to when there so much great music you could be listening to instead.
