SiriusXM satellite radio offers programming that is vastly superior to anything you can get from terrestrial radio. If you like show tunes there's a channel that plays nothing but show tunes. If you like blues there's a channel for that. If you want to hear old time radio shows from the 40s and 50s, there's a channel for that. There's a techno channel and country music channels and a channel that plays only Jimmy Buffett. There are classical music channels and heavy metal channels and rap channels. There are political talk channels, every Major League baseball game, and every NFL game. Freed from the control of the FCC, satellite radio can offer channels where adults can discuss adult subjects using adult language. Another advantage that satellite radio has is that the music channels don't have commercials, and on the talk channels that do have ads they're far less frequent than terrestrial radio's average of 1 minute of commercial for every 2 minutes of programming. Lastly, SiriusXM has a streaming service so you can listen to the programming on a smartphone app or computer. I haven't listened to terrestrial radio for more than a few minutes total since 2005 (my clock radio wakes me with an FM station every morning).
