I love driving in the warmer months, but with summer well and truly in the rearview mirror and winter looming, many of us brace for cold weather, gloomy skies, and journeys home in the dark. But winter commuting doesn’t have to be a drag if you have good content to listen to.
Luckily, there’s no shortage of content on SiriusXM to keep you amused on your winter commutes, and thanks to a current promotion, you can get access to the premium satellite radio service in your car for free for 3 months of the Platinum Plan.

Easy Listening

I love the many ways that modern technology allows for streaming music to my car without the annoyance of lengthy ad breaks. But there’s something about the curated nature of radio that is missing when simply listening to my own selection of saved albums. Here are a few reasons why SiriusXM could be an ideal audio service for your travels and beyond.

Quality Music without the Ads

Streaming audio in your car is more common than ever these days, but due to persistent indecisiveness, I often find myself spending more time pondering over what album to play than actually listening to music. SiriusXM combines the modern ad-free listening experience with the appeal of expertly curated music.
If music isn’t your jam, then you can listen to professionally produced shows and high-profile hosts like Howard Stern, whose two channels are exclusive to SiriusXM (not all channels are ad-free).
Talk-show fans are well catered for, with broadcasts like The Megan Kelly Show, Today Show Radio, and more from celebrity hosts like Andy Cohen. Get your giggle on with Kevin Hart’s LOL RAD!O and other comedy, or catch up with current events with high-profile channels like CNN, MSNBC, and Fox.

Always-On Personalized Entertainment

SiriusXM serves up radio in both live and on-demand formats, with personalized content and channels inspired by your favorite artists, available at any time. You can download the SXM App to enjoy podcasts, extra channels, and video. Tune in to the latest pop music, new rock hits, or the hottest hip-hop songs.
Or get the scoop on the latest events in your favorite sports with dedicated channels providing live coverage and 24/7 talk–so even if you often find yourself driving late like myself, you can still get caught up on sporting events or relax to your favorite on-demand show.

The Power of the Satellite

I enjoy driving out to and exploring neighboring cities in my state, where my favorite local radio outlets can be spotty or unavailable altogether. But as a satellite radio service, SiriusXM has nationwide coverage. So if you’re planning on taking a long road trip to visit family over the holidays, SiriusXM will be there to pipe content to you no matter where you are. (Unless…your journey takes you deep, deep underground, that is.)
And when your drive is over, you can even take SiriusXM out of the car. Just download the SXM App, available for iOS and Android phones and tablets, as well as a wide range of other devices including Amazon Echo and Google Nest Hub, and you’re good to go.
