Sorry, XM music cahnnels have commercials.

I believe the commercials are only on partner stations...those that XM isn't responsible for the content.

Also, as long as MLB is is on XM, SIRIUS isn't something I'll consider.

I do have to wonder why a person would feel the need to bash XM every chance they get...

You say you believe the commercials are on XM "partner stations".....well, isn't that still broadcast on XM satellite radio which claims commercial free music? Anything broadcast on XM is XM's responsibility. XM should be bashed because they mislead people with their claims. They have also run 'product placements' on channels solely owned and operated by XM. A simple search on google will lead you to several articles and pages relating to this.

As far as baseball goes...it would be nice to have baseball broadcast on Sirius...but the only team I care about listening to is my local team...which is on local radio....with commercials...and probably less than what XM has.
