Although I’m a voiceover artist, I remain in radio. Not because of the great pay, recognition, fame and fortune, but for the same reason I entered the business 31 years ago… I happen to love what I do.

While radio was my full-time career for all but the last of those 31 years, I now do weekends only. The pay stinks, there are no benefits and I do not get to do what I love doing more than anything else in the whole world! Rubbing elbows with my listeners. Meeting our listeners via remote broadcasts, personal appearances, meet & greets, etc. But, there is one thing that seems to remain constant. Radio listeners (and I’m talking about terrestrial radio here) remain loyal to disc jockeys and formats to which they’re accustomed, despite the fact that disc jockeys are no longer required to be licensed by the FCC, that radio formats, because of consolidation, now seem to supply only cookie-cutter formats. Don’t believe me? Next time you’re on vacation anywhere else in the country, turn on the radio and tell me what you hear. It will be that same list of about 250-400 songs rotated over and over again.

A great example of this is Direct TV’s TracVision A5 service. TracVision A5 is a system that you can have installed on your vehicle that will allow passengers to watch great Direct TV programming while on the road. TracVision is basically a low profile satellite antenna that can be installed on the roof of your vehicle and will feed satellite TV signals to any in vehicle video system. The TracVision A5 makes satellite signals accessible almost anywhere you travel. While you may experience blackouts when you drive among large building or while in deep canyons or tunnels, you’ll be able to get great television entertainment just about anywhere you travel. To go along with this system you can get a special programming package called Total Choice Mobile which features many of the same great channels of the normal Total Choice programming package offered by Direct TV, including The Learning Channel, Bravo, CNN, the Weather Channel, the Disney Channel, VH1 and many more. In fact Total Choice Mobile has over one hundred and fifty channels to keep your passengers occupied whether you’re traveling across the country or just to soccer practice.

Without a motorcycle intercom, motorcycle riding is a solitary experience.
When you’re riding alone it’s a good way to clear your head or get your thoughts
together. But if you’ve got a passenger, or you’re riding with another biker,
inevitably you’ll want to talk to them. Motorcycle intercom systems that mount
in your helmet let you do that.

range. It’s hard to decide which one to choose. And given that motorcycle

Satellite radio is still a somewhat new concept to the modern world. Gone are the days of hopping in the car, turning on the radio and listening to endless commercials without even hearing a single song. Satellite radio is very similar to the concept of pay-per-view television. In exchange for a membership fee, you receive virtually commercial free programming specifically based on your desire.

Satellite radio companies own exclusive rights to certain content, including some sporting events. This means that the only way to hear a game being broadcast may be to subscribe to that service on satellite radio. The same is true of various other content, including the recent move of Howard Stern exclusively to satellite radio. His talk show will only be available through a paid subscription and will no longer be broadcast on regular television or radio programming.
