But, What About News?

In my last post I talked about our TV options, however Sling TV doesn't include any of the 24 hour news channels. Some might find that a treat, and mostly I do too. But, we have options there as well.

The car has Sirius XM radio. Under normal circumstances I would have just enjoyed the 90 day free trial that came with the car and left it at that. But since the car is our office and we literally spend hours in it each day, we decided to spring for a whole year of satellite radio which includes all the big news outlets. Sometimes in the morning we listen to HLN or Morning Joe on MSNBC...but it tends to make us both cranky. We have to find that fine line between becoming informed and becoming aggravated.

On the weekends I can listen to Forensic Files on HLN while I'm doing errands...you know how I like those shows.

And when the news makes us cranky, we have plenty of other options. More music channels and genres than I could imagine (but no disco...sigh...sometimes you need a little Donna Summer to get going). We've tried listening to some of the classic radio shows, but it turns out that once we start working, we aren't in the car for the entire length of a show.

I feel like this is a good option for us. We aren't inundated with commercials or static and we don't have to worry about decent reception when we are in remote areas. No need to scan through channels when we want to listen to something different.

For those of you who don't understand the power of disco...
