Ive had sat radio for at least four-five years now. It was a b-day gift to
wifey, what it was Sirius at the time.
I too listen often to the old radio shows, but secont AG's assessment that
commercial radio (or tv...) are unable to produce the quality of NPR (PBS)
shows.

I've got sattellite radio in home and car. It's great, despite the over
compression to transmit that info over the little crappy equipment. The main
music channels are without commercials, but my favorite, the old radio drama
channel is filled with them, way too many for strange out on the edge
businesses.
