There’s a new radio station in town that bills itself as “commercial-free and member-supported.” It appeared suddenly on a channel that used to be a college station. There are no live DJs, all the self-ads are generic corpo-sounding crap, and they play the same top 40s as every other generic corpo station in town.
Now, they’ve started a membership drive in the fake hopes of appearing like a grassroots station. The infuriating part is that we have a legitimate indie station (partially publicly funded) that they’re trying to steal money/contributions from.
It’s obviously a corporate ploy to destroy the current commercial-free station while replacing it with a fake one that will just turn into another soulless corporate station.
The Sirius XM people are probably hassling you every day now right? Those bastards are the most annoying of any subscription service I think I’ve ever used.
it would be a shame if more people started getting the SiriusXM Dealer app on their phones to game free 90-day intros over and over.
Surely it’s that lack of subscriptions that keeps the content from improving. right?
SiriusXM is now buying up a ton of popular podcasts and locking new episodes behind a completely separate membership from my Spotify subscription, so my feed is filling with a bunch of locked episodes. They’ve found a way to torture everyone not just those people who tried a free trial (or were given one after buying a car).
