I can't decide if I want to go through the aggravation of calling AGAIN or waiting to see if they'll send me an offer. I have a feeling business must be good so they don't need my business.

P.S. For those of you that said you have Prime, you don't get talk radio with that do you? I have prime but only use Sirius for talk radio in my car. Thanks
There are a lot of talk radio stations available for free through smartphone apps such as TuneIn and IHeartRadio. Maybe not the ones you want though. Worth a look anyway.

As regards Sirius, I have XM in my car. Last year the price went up over $200 (a significant percentage of which was a royalty fee paid to the music industry). That was too much, so I downgraded to fewer channels and got it under $150. But its still too expensive for the value I get from it. I'm still evaluating alternatives.
