Try being in the MON (Middle of Nowhere). Got tired of listeing to the songs in my music collection. Sirius was a life saver.

Just moved from LA to Sacramento for a new job myself.  Still have family in the LA area and am planning on getting Sirius as soon as I can!  The drive down I-5 is so long and it is a pain changing radio stations every 50-75 miles, besides radio in the valley stinks anyway! Shocked

I really enjoyed XM before the merger. The stations had much wider playlists and the competition with Sirius kept them on their toes. Since the merger, stations have been consolidated, bandwith reduced, and much of the personality has been taken out of the stations. That said, I wouldn't part with it. In fact I have it in both my car and my wife's (so she can't force the KOST on me), even though my wife doesn't use it that much.

If I had nothing to listen to but LA radio in the car, I would go crazy with the limited format selection and crazy-limited playlists (and that still includes you KRTH, although you have made strides in recent years). But since I listen to them in addition to the many stations I listen to on SiriusXM, my total time listening to any one station is reduced and thus much more palatable, since I am not exposed for long periods to their repulsive redundant repetitiveness.

I guess Sirius / XM is ok, but I'm not too impressed with them now that they got rid of BBC Radio 1Xtra and replaced Kiss XM with New York's Z100 and LA's 102.7 KIIS FM and some hip hop station in Chicago. I guess if you're in the middle of no where it would come in very handy, though.

Radio 1 is available to online subscribers and I believe the people who have the 2.0 receivers that are starting to come out now.
