Not sure, but their sound quality is crap for music.
It has improved a little, but it's really only good for speech.

I doubt anything is live with them.

Agreed. I’ve been using the app more lately for this reason

Seems like an easy way to save costs not having these assclowns talking. The whole original appeal of satellite radio was nonstop music, no ads or DJs

Just have a rotating playlist of 50 songs for each station and you are good. No breaks needed.


Remember when cable tv didn't have commercials, because you were paying for the content?

The DJs are there to hype the artists, who are paying SiriusXM to be hyped.

Meg griffin

She is one of my least favorite people ever. I only listen to a handful of channels on Sirius, but man she sucks. Bad. I absolutely hate when she's on the Beatles channel (where I hear her most). She seems to think people tune in to hear her talk about random shite that literally nobody cares about, and it's incessant with her. She's one of the only people I will change the channel on when I hear her speak. Most other ones are at least brief/short, or they give you information quickly and then get back to the music. But she doesn't, she'll talk for minutes without shutting up. I hate her.

I look forward to listening to Grant Random when he's on. Dude is just plain funny. His updates are not to be missed. The Duke of Douchebaggery.

Listen to C&R on Patreon. Way better. And you can watch it live.

This bitch was getting roasted on Twitter for singing and talking too much and her response was "I don't care what you say, my daddy is the boss!" She actually said that.

Sluggo sucks, too. He tries to enunciate every word he says.

Like many things, it's a matter of personal taste.

I enjoy Phlash Phelps in the morning on the sixties channel. He has really connected with his (mostly) boomer audience and us with him. I used to enjoy listening to Cousin Brucie, as he was there when rock-n-roll came into being and had many stories to tell.

Earl Bailey is another one, as he talks enough to add to the music, not distract from it.

Agree with others that Meg Griffin is almost unbearable, even on the Beatles channel. But on the flip side, Peter Asher is great, especially given his connections to the Beatles.

I do recall back in the early/mid '80s 98.1 in Baton Rouge switched formats (from disco to pop/rock IIRC), and they were DJ-less for several weeks. Very boring.
