XM radio no longer commercial free

XM radio is now no longer playing uninterrupted music. They are now putting in little ads that I find very annoying. I want music only available for 24/7 that I’m paying for. I will play it at home, then just as I start enjoying the music at what I call a good listening level, the song will end and on comes one of their little announcements about what ever. I just had enough of it, shut it off and put on my own CD’s that has no talking. I find it hard to pay for something that is not what they advertise. We have it in the car and it recently became available through DirecTV which no longer offers the Music Channels that were commercial free. I wrote to complain to both and got automated responses. What ever happened to the human being that would reply when a customer has a concern or ask for what you are paying for.

I hope they get many complaints and maybe they would return to uninterrupted music.

Sorry but I had to vent………..

When DirecTV came out with the news of the switch and I decided to wait on making the plunge into satellite radio until I could sample XM - and I'm sure glad I waited. I've now heard XM via DirecTV and Sirius during a trip to NY & back and am sure glad I never signed up. Hafta agree that Music Choice had a much better playlist, too - at least for me. I find the XM equivalents are just flat-out irritating.

The other kinda hard part to admit is that I've also had a broadband connection (for work - yeah, that's the ticket...) and am now suddenly seriously considering just dumping DirecTV and switching to total landline. We'd lose a little (mostly extraneous) programming but the cost would go down. After listening to XM for 3+ weeks I do wonder about how this could be as popular as it seemed?

I want my, I want my Music Choice...
