Stern is still on FM radio, he's just being removed by a number of the stations that are facing fines from the FCC. It's not like the FCC "banned" him from FM frequencies.

A friend of mine has XM, and uses it purely to listen to sports talk radio. I don't think he listens to much music. He only got it because of his long commute and frustration having to change stations during his commute. His praises it though. I personally would not be willing to dish out $10-$15 (or whatever it costs) per month for it though.

I believe I read somewhere that you can pay a $300 ballpark fee and have unlimited access for the rest of your life. My cousin currently has one in his GMC, and during the small amount of time I have been in his truck, I have really enjoyed it. No commercials what-so-ever, and the sound quality (maybe it was his speakers?) is much greater than that of conventional FM radio. I am a student so I really only work part-time, and since I spend little time in my car, it wouldn't be cost efficient for me to pay $15 a month for a radio I would use seldom.
