I feel like bitchin' about XM or AAR. Who do I email

[in_cog_ni_to]

about their LOUD commercials? It's extremely annoying to be listening to one of AAR's radio shows at a comfortable volume only to be BLASTED out of my chair when a commercial comes on. They're SO DAMN LOUD! Who do I complain to? AAR? or XM?

1. Does XM still repeat the same commercials ad nauseum?

That used to drive me crazy

5. I know how you feel!

Ah, yes.. they mix the AAR commercials with the lame XM commercials over and over.

The part I hate most is that the music channels are broadcast at such a loud volume but the talk and news channels are so freaking quit. I can never find balance between the two - I have to constantly adjust the audio output.

If you e-mail XM, let them know that you'd like to see Pacifica programs (Like DN!) on the Public Radio stations also - I've been sending them e-mails but it'd be great to start up a campaign. I'd love more progressive shows on XM!

http://xmradio.com/contact_us/contact_us.jsp (You might try calling, however, because whenever I e-mail I just get a standard form saying "they get a lot of e-mail, can't respond to it all, blah blah blah". Try to call up Listener Care and get a real person to listen to you.

7. And some are so disgusting. And the repetition!

I push one button (Am/FM button), and I'm over at NPR, until I remember to switch back to AAR. The thing is: AAR has prospered despite the RW predictions that it would founder -- but at what a cost.
