If I am asked what the best present is that my husband ever gave me, I have absolutely no trouble answering the question. In November 2004, he surprised me with my very own Kenwood plug and play set complete with subscription to a year's service with Sirius Satellite Radio. Since that time, there have only been two periods of time that I haven't surrounded myself with beautiful sounds straight from the satellite. In 2005, I gave it up for Lent for 40 days because it was truly a sacrifice for me. The other experience that I've had with no Sirius was when I loaned my car to my daughters for their vacation, and I reluctantly allowed my radio to go with them.
After my husband realized how much I enjoyed my satellite radio, he bought speakers and installed them in my bathroom and kitchen and even on our back deck. For relaxation or inspiration when I work on my computer, I always listen online to Moving Easy, Standard Time, or Sirius Pops. Although they transmit well over 100 stations, I find myself tuning to about eight presets exclusively because I just cannot pull myself away from them. I simply never tire from listening to my radio.
When I think about what I like most about Sirius, one feature that especially impresses me is the commercial free airwaves. Because I don't have to waste my time listening to companies promoting their goods, my enjoyment is not interrupted. Another great characteristic of this invention is the clarity of sound. I don't have to deal with static and loss of service at certain times of the day. Perhaps one of its strongest selling points is the fact that wherever I go, Sirius goes with me. If I drive coast to coast, I can listen to the same station without changing the dials one time. On the other hand, if I need information about driving conditions or weather, Sirius provides stations with the data I desire for my location.
Sirius presents such a variety that there is something for every audience. Their offerings include music genres such as pop, rock, hip-hop, country, classical, Christian, jazz, blues, standards, and even a welcomed all Elvis station. Additionally, fans can find NFL, Howard Stern, talk radio, CNN, FOX, NPR, and Martha Stewart among several others. Coming soon Sirius will also proudly broadcast NASCAR for its loyal followers. For those who want to sample it, there is free trial period offered on their website.
I think it is easy for others to understand why I have developed an obsession for my friend on the air. I can adjust my environment according to my moods, and I do not know how anything can get any better than that. |
