You're right: Promotions for other XM channels are
commercials. It's not true, as one guy said, that "the
vast majority" of stations are commercial free. In fact, every station has some ads. If this guy's lawsuit goes
to class action, then I'm on the bandwagon.

But the most annoying thing for me is the DJs' self-promotion. I listen mostly to the (two) classical
stations, and there's one guy (Paul Bachman) in particular who spends an enormous amount of time
merely promoting himself. He states his name every 3
seconds and then babbles on with pointless trivia about
the piece he's threatening to play. Actually, NOT
about the piece he's going to play, but some other
pieces that his stream of consciousness stumbled
across while he was day-dreaming.

If I'm paying for a music service, I shouldn't have to
put up with ads or some self-absorbed fop trying to
impress me with his knowledge of the composers personal
life. "Shut up and play the music."
