Re: AM of Satellite
A lot of "crappy" stations hit on some good stuff sometimes. XM also had a great Yes show and an excellent Porcupine Tree. But those and the Marillion are three of how many?
Just because Sirius has Stern doesn't mean they don't have other worthwhile programming. They're just making money.
I was subjected to Stern in college (Univ of MD close to DC), and the Greaseman. And a lot of those radio personalities from NYC were imported into other cities. Although I never had the displeasure of hearing Don Imus, I heard more Don and Mike than I care to remember.
I don't begrudge anyone for liking Howard Stern (myself I can take or leave it). But I don't see anything different between that and South Park or Drawn Together or any other show. It's all the same, really.
Speaking of shows, does anyone remember a "talk show comedy" called "Night Stand" a few years back (Timothy Stack was the host). That was funny ass show. Itwas a end-up of Springer, Ricki Lake, etc.
I know a friend of mine likes the XM feature where you can get every baseball game. The punk station was kind of fun too.There's something for everyone, but not enough of it for our tastes.
