Is Am Radio Dead?

Based on my limited time with the service (bought a new vehicle last January) if I let the trial period subscription lapse, they'll offer the lower price after a couple of weeks to lure me back in.

I just let myself be lured, and anticipate doing so next time.

I refuse to support that business model of quadrupling the price for customers who forget to beg for the intro price every year. It feels so scummy. So Sirius gets no money from me.

I agree, they also make it really hard to cancel, requiring waiting on hold and arguing with them a la AOL. They don’t seem to realize that the fact they behave this way is objectionable to whatever my demographic is… millennials I guess. I love the programming on Sirius XM but refuse to use it on principle.

I figure if I can swallow my objections and give Disney, Amazon, and Google money, Sirius is barely a scratch on my conscience.

I don’t like it on principle, but also I don’t like it because I know I’m likely to forget.
