Sirius XM. You shouldn't have to pay more than about $6 -$7 per month. You can listen in your car, on your phone, on your computer, or on your smart speaker. Loads of channel programs to select from. Just be sure to re-negotiate when your year deal is up, or you will suddenly be paying around $25 per month.

Now that I’m retired, I’m glad I took the time to do this - no longer dependent on a radio station. I simply choose a particular year of music I want to hear, and I’m set for hours and hours - good thing too that I like a very large spectrum of music genres.
This is what I did recently with Spotify. Since 2018 I had put in a bunch of my all time favorites in one playlist but then more recently put them each into their respective decade playlists. So I have all my favorites from the 50's to the 2000's. For me the 70's and 80's have most of my favorites, about 2+ hours worth. It's nice to be able to choose an era. I have had my own custom made CD's for each decade since Frostwire was a thing but obviously I could only fit around 20 favorites in each one so I was limited.

I use the speaker that came with the Golf Cart and hook it up to my Bluetooth. I was using it in the cart for over a year and more recently in the car for longer drives. Spotify does have commercials, which I lower the volume for. But it's nice to hear what I want to hear instead of the same list that the radios play every day.

I wasn't liking Pandora in the past because it would just pick its own songs and many times drift away from the category that I wanted it to stay in. When I'm going "how'd that song get in there" it's time for a change.

Another suggestion is Sirius Radio. But I don't feel like paying for that yet.

Default Radio?

Drop the ancient radio technology. Bluetooth combined with Pandora or Spotify is simple, and you can create playlists of whatever kind of music you want, with no commercials. If your new used car is only a few years old it will probably have bluetooth technology built in. And bluetooth speakers are cheap, portable and Amazon Echo ear buds are incredible for $49. If you are not technically savvy, hire a millenial for an hour.

98.9 WMMO (Orlando) and 95.5 WIND (Ocala) are the two best.

You may want to consider buying a wireless (bluetooth) wifi connector, plug it into your cigarette lighter (are they still called that) and stream spotify or youtube songlists to your car radio. I got mine at bestbuy for 28.00

We use Sirius but as an alternative have found that FM 98.5 is pretty good.

I usually listen to 95.5 WIND (Ocala), just because it comes in well, but when I really want to listen to something other than the same 50 tunes the radio stations play over-and-over, the best radio station in the world is my personal CD and vinyl collection.

I've ripped all of my CD's and most of my vinyl to WMA format, and believe it or not, over 200 albums from the 60's through the 90's actually fits on my phone. I connect via Bluetooth and just put it on "random". My only complaint is that you can't find a player that really does "random". They all think you really don't want random, so they try to pick the tracks that are the most highly rated, and you still wind up hearing the same 200 songs over and over. But it's still a better mix than the radio guys use.
