Yeah, I saw that but when you click on the photos to the left under Buffett's photo it says "Jimmy Buffett broadcasts "Radio Margaritaville" for Sirius" so I find the question somewhat misleading. Some of the folks (Petty, Dylan, DeGenerate) actually host shows but Buffett doesn't.MikeInNOLA wrote:The questions are:Jahfin wrote:Why is Buffett an option, I know about Radio Margaritaville on Sirius but does he actually host anything on there?

Anyway, my answer would be "none of the above". While it may be appealing that one of my favorite performers might be hosting a show, it's the music itself I would tune in for.

A once per week "Semi-True Stories" type show by Jimmy would be a nice addition to RadioMargaritaville.Jahfin wrote:Yeah, I saw that but when you click on the photos to the left under Buffett's photo it says "Jimmy Buffett broadcasts "Radio Margaritaville" for Sirius" so I find the question somewhat misleading.

I wouldn't subscribe to listen specifically to any of the hosts listed...and, although I am a Sirius subscriber, I have never listened to any of the others. That is what I enjoy most...more music, less talk.

I have both XM and SIRIUS. I love them both. I'm not sure I could choose between the two if I had to.
