I miss the pre-merger XM. Back when I was a subscriber you could listen for several days and hear virtually no repeats on a single station, there was a depth to the song selections that exposed me to lots of new artists. There were actual DJs on the air and there were only a few minutes worth of commercials per hour. I recently had a SiriusXM trial and it seems like all the stations now have a fixed playlist that's limited to around 60 songs at a time, it was very much like domestic radio and it wasn't uncommon to hear the same song played multiple times in the same day. Granted, it's still significantly better than local radio (RDU MSA doesn't even have a hard rock or modern rock station) I just can't justify spending money on it when I already have streaming capabilities via my phone - but I do miss the curated content of a human actually into the material.
