I lost my car in Katrina. The replacement had a wonky CD player and the AM news and talk stations which had been the only thing I've been able stand to listen to locally for several years now abandoned their regular programming for 24/7 recovery info. I got a Sirius w/lifetime sub and I have been one happy camper since
When The Zepher (altrock) went country was the day FM radio really died for me. The "progressive hits" station that used to brag it never played rap/hip hop switched to basically an all rap/hip hop format and that drove the final nail in local FM's coffin as far as I was concerned and my car radio never again saw FM unless a passsenger wanted it. With Sirius I'm listening to music in the car again, not to mention being able to appease my news junkie itch
