My sense is that young truckers today, being a more diverse audience than they were in the past, also have more diverse musical tastes. Many also prefer to listen to talk radio. The SIRIUS radio network, for instance, hosts several popular trucker-oriented shows on its Road Dog Network. The old all-night AM radio shows that targeted truckers with country songs and Peterbilt advertisements in the 1960’s and 1970’s are largely a thing of the past.

Demian, I just wanted to say thanks for your news updates. These past few months I've been utilizing 3 different sources instantaneously and now I can find it all in one spot.

Thanks, but my posting may become less frequent as I have some other things going on in my life that I have to attend to. My motivation was to get this intraday thread started and keep it flowing until other people came on board to help. There is no way that I can continue to be on here as much as I have been in the past - but with more people getting involved and helping, this thread can continue to be a vibrant source of SIRI intraday news and discussion.......

Or news that we don't know yet? Either way I'll take it! Remember, just 3% per day (up, that is!)

Demian, we all appreciate your efforts. Was the article on Canadian Satellite Radio to do with satrad content being illegally broadcast via internet?
