Frost, do you like Howard Stern? With your sense of humor, you'll probably get a kick out of his show
I listened to his show before he made the move, and I had sirius for a bit after he made the move. But here are my two problems:
The DJs. "interrupted" radio is just as bad as radio with commercials. It's not like I want to turn it on at a party and have the DJ come on with "that was Boston, with blahblahblah." I know who the fuckin band is honey, it says it right on the receiver.
I also turn on classical music when I read, and between every song I have to listen to von charles winchester tell me the history of the fuckin song. Mofugger, if I want to know history, I'll wikipedia that sh-t.

My 2nd problem is one of the stations I liked (I believe a classic rock station) even started playing commercials. Of course it was much less than standard radio, but again, not what I pay for. So I ditched the service and never looked back.
