For many years, my wife has been a huge fan of Howard Stern – an American radio and TV personality best known for The Howard Stern Show. This particular radio show is only available on SiriusXM Satellite Radio, and since there are already more stations on the radio than I know what to listen to, I was never keen on paying extra for another 200 stations.
Nevertheless, my wife convinced me to give it a try, so we added the satellite radio service to one of our vehicles. Since first doing so, a few years ago, Sirius has been very good at retaining my business. When I first bought my car I had three free months of satellite radio, and it was so good I ended up purchasing a subscription. Whenever my subscription comes to an end, they seem to come up with a reasonable price, within my budget to keep me happy and willing to continue with the service.
Last summer, unfortunately, my need for satellite radio temporarily came to an end when we had a car accident and the car was written off. I called up Sirius, thinking it would be a hassle to cancel my remaining subscription, but they were very easy to deal with and very sympathetic to my situation. They even provided me with two options….. cancelling the remaining months and providing a refund or allowing me to place my subscription on hold. For a number of reasons I asked them to cancel my subscription and they did so—without a problem. A little while later, they sent me a kindly-worded email, hoping I’d return someday.
When I finally did get the new car, a couple of months later, I called to renew my subscription and once again, they were great to deal with. They’re pleasant to talk to over the phone, you’re never on hold for too long, and they keep in touch with email as well. In the case of the new vehicle, it came with a free three-month subscription, and they provided a reasonable rate for me to continue after the 90-day trial.
At first, I didn’t think that having hundreds of extra radio stations would be of value, but if you’re looking to listen to jazz, blues, Howard Stern, or anything in between, there’s something for everybody.
