Other than my news station, I don't even listen to terrestial radio any more. I don't even know what station country is on. I turned off when the Dixie Chicks were played twice an hour and then they were erased from the format altogether, overnight and I don't believe that was the will of most listeners. They were blacklisted to quiet the protests of a minority. Within 2 years after that censorship wave, the longtime country stations in Los Angeles actually were replaced with something else.

Now, there are 3 stations I listen to on XM/Sirius, 57, 58 and 59 and I go back and forth between those. When a song comes on that I don't like, I switch the dial up or down. That's why I don't hear Lady Antebellum. Even though they're played a lot, I just turn to one of the other stations when they come on. When Stevie duets with them, the content is going to be a complete surprise to me.

But I do know there are other country stations that are less homogenous than those 3 on satellite that are available. I haven't tried them out. I guess I just take the Pontoon that's handed to me.
