Satellite radio runs too many ads in general 

I cancelled my Sirius subscription after less than a year because I found myself paying for more ads than cable.

See what’s crazy is i always assumed the selling point of satellite radio was minimal ads

What stations do you listen to? I have Sirius in my car and get no ads?

I listen to every genre, country, rock, rap, the kids bop channel when my kids were younger, pop, the TikTok channel. I've never heard any ads other than maybe a dj saying "check out so and so on channel x"

I have Sirius too. I bounce around the decade stations, Willie's Roadhouse, Underground Garage, and the yacht rock/soft rock stations.

Literally the only ads I ever heard on Sirius was for other stations, other shows, and whatever album Willie has coming out.

Maybe they are talking about Sirius hosting conservative news streams?

They play ads on the talk and news stations. No ads on music channels.
