Yesterday, I finally made the switch from Sirius Satellite Radio to XM Satellite Radio. When I first purchased Sirius, I had been starkly against XM because I felt Sirius offered better programming. I was wrong. The lady at Wal-Mart even offered me an XM Radio at first at a lower price, and I stuck with Sirius, mainly because Sirius had OutQ, the 24-hour GLBT stream. Unfortunately, the only good show on OutQ is the Derek and Romaine show, and even that is going downhill.

After hearing XM’s Flight 26 on AOL Radio for a little over half a year, I finally announced the decision weeks ago on my LiveJournal to leave Sirius for XM. I am so much happier with the choice of programming on XM Radio. Yes, Flight 26 is on there, but there’s so much more! Never have I enjoyed talk radio more than I have with XM Radio–from Opie & Anthony on High Voltage to Dr. Laura Schlessinger on America Right (on a conservative station, for some reason), talk radio has never sounded better. I’m happy with my decision to switch satellite providors.
