End of the Year Top Ten List-# 6 Sirius Satellite Radio


I've always loved listening to the radio. From AM talk radio back in the days of Jerry Williams, Norm Nathan, Larry Glick, to FM and NPR's studio 360, Fresh Air, This American Life, to Howard Stern. I've always loved college radio too. You'll here things you'd never have heard elsewhere.

When Stern left regular radio last year to go to satellite, they replaced him with David Lee Roth, and then Opie and Anthony. While Roth was just an amatuer, O&A were all of what I dislike about Stern. The strippers, sex, etc., I find very dull. What I love about The Stern crew is when they just sit around and pick on each other. It's toxic, and funny, and highly entertaining. I finally gave in and bought a satellite radio and I'm glad I did. I've become so used to the minimal commercial interruptions that when I do listen to regular radio, well, I just can't listen.
