I thought when I got the satellite radio that my favorite station would be Radio Classics, or Swing Street, or maybe 60's Vibrations, the latter which we play sometimes in the evenings (Dish Network picks up the Sirius music channels).

I do love both Radio Classics and Swing Street, but I find myself most often on Standard Time, which plays all the music I grew up with: Perry Como, Bing Crosby, Robert Goulet, Dean Martin, Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme, Frank Sinatra...Jerry Vale and Al Martino may be in there, too, but I haven't heard them. Plus folks like Patti Page, Rosemary Clooney, Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, Judy Garland...great stuff. (There's too much Sinatra, but what the hell.)

Their traffic reports aren't bad, either. Every four minutes, alternating with Boston. I not only know what's coming up for me, but I can envision all the places delayed in Boston. ("Egads! Not another accident in the Callahan Tunnel...")

Lately I've been amusing myself by listening to Jerry Doyle on the way home, too.

I'm glad you're enjoying it!

I originally got Sirius over XM because they had the SciFi audio theater... but that went away shortly after I got it. So after browsing around I found a lot of OTHER stuff I liked. My only complaint with Radio Classics is that they've got too many commercials...

I got an XM for Christmas last year from my mother and I love love love it.

I tend to stay with the 50's station because I've found that I just can't live without the crooners. Frank, Dean, Bobby Darin, etc... Plus the great music.

I love the decades stations, which start at the 40's through the 90's. I meander between them all, plus CNN, BBC, Headline News, etc..
