Rap?
Yeah, that format would get great numbers in this market. ;)There are some 'urban' stations that fade in and out occasionally.
This area has become something of a radio dead zone. 104.9 used to have a strong signal, now it is barely audible once you cross the TN/VA line. The same goes for 94.9.
In this area, if you aren't listening to 98.5, 96.9 or 101.5, you might as well forget about good reception. Not that satellite radio is any better...
Get satellite radio, terrestial radio is awful now.. You want rock you got rock, rap, sports county, talk whatever you want its there..
XM the only way to go. Took me a while but finally talked Bob into getting one now he is talkin about getting another.
I've never found one station on either Sirus or XM that I could listen to for more than 15 minutes...same ol mainstream BS on nearly every station..even the ones that don't play "pop" still don't play anything hardly that appeals to me.
As much as I hate rap, a station that carried it would do well among young people around here.

XM 14 is where it's at!

backed 100%
I hate being in a vehicle that doesn't have satellite radio for very long.
Radio around here is atroshish (don't know how to spell that but it sounds appropriate). I have had an XM radio since they first hit this area, thanks to a buddy of mine who worked at Crutchfield at the time, I think he still does actually. The radio stations around here don't play the music I generally listen too so I am either listening to XM (30% of the time) or my iPod (70% of the time) in my car.
I've considered getting satellite now that I travel between the Tri Cities and the New River Valley more often. I always start listening to a program in one place and lose the signal halfway up the interstate.
Aren't there reception issues with satellite if you use an FM frequency or something like that?
