I had XM radio in my car for three years but canceled this month after they jacked the price up. At work or home I listen to AOL radio which has different stations to choose from depending on my mood.
I was a huge fan of 106.1 until they killed it, so now I seldom listen to over the air radio except for NASCAR races if I'm working in the garage on race days.

Prices have got crazy. Since they can't up the "monthly fee" for another year or so due to the merger, instead they just add a fee that goes right to the artist they claim, and is like 2 bucks a month. They argued to me that it is still not a monthly fee, and I tried to get them to explain how it wasn't, and they couldn't. However, the past 2x I have called to cancel, they have offered me 5 months for $20 per radio, and I will just call again in 4.5 months and cancel again.
There seem to be a lot of locally available pop/rock stations not included in your poll. My radio has 12 FM presets, so it doesn't have room for everything available, but I have the following presets, all of which come in clearly (most days) - whether the station is from the Triangle, Greensboro or Fayetteville. I scan through all of the music stations pretty regulary - I don't tend to favor one over the others. The only one I probably skip over consistently is G105.
91.5 - WUNC
92.3 - Rock 92
93.9 - Sunny 93.9
96.1 - 96 Rock
98.1 - Q98
98.7 - Simon
99.5 - WMAG
100.7 - The River
101.5 - Mix 101.5
102.9 - WWMY
105.1 - G105
107.5 - WKZL
I love satellite radio, XM had an awesome station called Lucy but they killed it after the merger with Sirius...
I sure do miss Fred, Ethel, and Lucy
Sirius can't even compare to them. Take 1st Wave for example. . . . .The DJ's talk too much and they have such shallow playlists. I mean I like Depeche Mode. . . . but every 30 minutes? And I know that Echo and the Bunnymen have more songs than just their 5 big hits.
The "major" radio stations in the Triangle blow! Thank God for the college radio stations, especially WKNC 88.1, NC State's station, and WNCU 90.7, NC Central's station (great reggae on Sundays)-- I love my Heels but WXYC 89.3 is very hit or miss and the reception is usually bad. Of course there is also WUNC 91.5, the local NPR station, for all things non-music.
However, the past 2x I have called to cancel, they have offered me 5 months for $20 per radio, and I will just call again in 4.5 months and cancel again.
That's the part I don't like is you have to remember to call them back every 5 months or your rate goes back to full price before you realize it, which is what happened to me, plus they charged me extra for online access I never even used.
Why can't they just let me keep the same rate every month and be done with it instead of all the hassle calling back every few months threatening to cancel just to keep the same rate? It's a stupid way to do business.
96 rock plays the same 80's songs OVER and OVER and OVER
salt and D are not THAT good, and I hate that every 10 minutes they do some HORRIBLE advertising plug.
I've been plugging the droid into the AUX jack and either streaming pandora or listening to my own playlists. When I am too lazy for that, I'm usually listening to 88.1. The hipster music on 88.1 gets old after some time though.
