      Oh yeah, he’s always been the main draw there.

      I’m not sure what his contract is like tho, they may have given him a ridiculous long contract to make the jump back in the day. So still paying him 2000s money even without that audience.

      Here’s to hoping this is just the start and Biden starts doing more appearances though.

      He needs to engage with voters if he wants to win. This is a step in the right direction at least.

          $265 each per year. That’s wild.

          My wife got a used car with a Sirius in it. She used it for the free trial but we don’t do talk radio so it seemed completely pointless.

          I imagine a big draw is Stern and probably sports radio.

          Sirius XM has a long list of sports-talk and play-by-play stations. And the “listen to sports” and “browses Lemmy” venn diagram is, in fact, two entirely isolated circles.

          I don’t care much for sports but in my market I think all the sports stations are old AM radio. Satellite adds a ton of fidelity and may not have the regional blackouts TV has (that I don’t know about).
