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………..

I'm with Texan on Sirius. Who needs DJ's and self-promotion? The incessant annoying babble between a few songs is awful! I'm paying for music! Commercial free music! Also, Sirius changed their line-up a couple of months ago and eliminated my favorite channel -- Folktown -- and substituted another -- The Coffee House -- which bears no resemblance to the former.
Additionally, the music played is the same stuff over and over. If you're listening to classic rock stations -- there's about ten and they all overlap so I can hardly tell the difference -- they keep playing the same songs that were "hits" over and over. With all that time and that many stations, how about playing all the other songs on the great albums?
Another case of the promise of a great idea turning into the same commercial crap culture that has come to dominate American life.
