Sirius XM Radio

I'm wondering how it survives. They seem to practically give it away to keep their subscriber numbers up.

I had XM like 20 years ago. Now almost all my radio is through iHeart.

Thanks for the info.. I do like iHeart

I have it because twin cities radio sucks ass. I don't mind paying $25 a month to be able to listen to whatever music I'm in the mood for. Plus, I can listen to Packers and Bucks games with the hometown call.

Is that the platinum plan? If so, don't you get streaming on your other devices like iphone etc?

Yes you do.

Thank you.

I still have it and one of the main reason is football season.  I live in an area that is hit or miss for Packers games so I can always turn on Sirius to get the home town call.  I also get the local commercials which I think is awesome.

I never pay more than $4 a month for it.  Before my year is up and call to cancel and they always keep it that low of a price.

Have it in both vehicles.  have the "big" plan to get all the sports and can listen on my echo at work.

Last time my contract was due I was irritated with the hassling, so I cancelled.  I hated (HATED) listening to regular radio again.  They called me back in a week and I said I was willing to do $4 a month (each car, $8 total) and a 3 year contract.  They agreed. 

I have it. I have no idea what I pay. They take it out every month. I need to check that. I like it for several reasons, I love the sports and can listen to the home team of any baseball or football game. There are several pod cast I listen to. Pick any music genre and you are good to go. It like having an old time TV satellite dish except it is any radio you want.

Negotiate with them. They will give you a deal. You can get the Platinum package for $60-$100 for 12 months pretty easy.

NFL Channel 88, Howard Stern and of course all the sports (Channel 811 for Packers) and every genre of music. If you're into politics, lotsa channels available for both sides of the aisle and comedy, weather....it has everything. It's worth it to me. I've had SiriusXM for years! Back when it was just Sirius vs. XM before they merged. I had Sirius.

Merry Christmas!

Same here. Once you try it you'll never want to go without it.

I have 4 radios. Truck, wife's car, Rusty's wagon and 1 for the garage. I heart sucks worse than a Vikings win.

I drove a U Haul (moved my daughter) to California this summer and got my fill of I Heart radio!

No Spotify users?

I got it, just for music.  yes, always negotiate.  paid $73 for the year last time, could have gotten it lower but I was tired of the back and forth - negotiated through online chat.

for me, worth it just for the Grateful Dead channel and all the live music you get to hear that you'd otherwise never hear
