What XM Radio Like?

By Owen Jones


XM Radio is one of the two largest American satellite radio broadcasters. They broadcast over 150 programmes of all types like sports, traffic, weather, music of all decades and comedy.

The principal area of their broadcasting activities though is music. After all, that is what most people like to listen to whilst they are driving or working at home or in the yard.

The music of XM Radio is wide-ranging, catering for the requirements of every music ever recorded. For example, of the sixty-eight music channels, there are channels that play music from only one decade: from the Forties to the Noughties!

Then, transversing those barriers of time, there are music channels that only play Rock and Roll or only play Bee Bop or only play the Blues. There are also channels that only play new records.

There are others that only play film soundtracks. In fact, XM music radio has most bases covered. There are even channels that play the music that is being played live in nightclubs such as the 'B.B. King Club' in New York City! The 'Blue Note Club' is there too! In fact, the world of music is your oyster.

Then, on a different level, there are the leisure shows fronted by people like Snoop Dog and comedy shows with characters such as Opie and Anthony. There is family comedy as well and Playboy Radio for the older members of the family, although Playboy Radio pictures do not have to be rated.

Sports fans will get pleasure from the devoted sports channels. XM Radio's sports channels cover such sports as American football, basketball and baseball on a daily basis, although there are international sports featured for the more out-going as well: worldwide, International sports such as soccer, the most popular participation sport in the world.

In fact, there are currently thirty-eight sports channels in XM's stable, although by the time you read this, there will probably be three or four times that amount. Many service providers are flocking to Xm's service in order to achieve nationwide coverage in the United States.

News channels are there as well. Channels like the world-respected BBC World Service, CNBC, Fox, the controversial C-Span, CNN, the Discovery Channel, NASCAR Racing, E-Entertainment and many more.

If you need apparatus to receive this interesting new service, you can easily find it on the Internet or in your neighbourhood shopping centre. The cost of the apparatus will not break the bank, but it is best if you price it up and then sit back a week or two because new 'special offers' are coming out all the time.

The best technique to get XM Satellite Radio for today's best price is to wait and look which way the wind is blowing, in a short while you will get this great satellite broadcaster for a bargain price.
