It's funny this has come to the top again because I've been listening to XM exclusively since the beginning of November, mostly to avoid having to hear commercials (particularly political ones!).
You may remember that I had slammed the quality of XM after getting it for the first time in my LEAF. Well, now we have an XM radio in the Volt too, I now understand that it's not XM that's at fault...it's the crummy receiver in the LEAF.
That said, I am still willing to settle for poor quality audio (which I've made tolerable by adjusting the equalization a lot) over radio filled with commercial breaks and/or content I'm not interested in listening to.
I find myself going through a bit of a nostalgia kick at the moment, so I'm listening (in order of interest) to 70s on 7; 80s on 8; 60s on 6; and 90s on 9. I've also saved the two French Canadian stations, which I typically listen to when I'm going through one of my "I'm really going to become fluent in French" fantasies.
