Now that the season is over are you going to still listen to XM 175?

Didn't vote because I no longer have XM service. That said I very seldom listened to 175 when I did get in the truck after the switchover.

Waiting for the change in personnel. I'll probably always listen and dedicate myself to providing management a conscience.

I read what Barnesy says about the channel, and go from there. Maybe I will pop in if my Twitter feed looks interesting, or the facebook update shows a special guest I am interested in.

I have taken to not listening to the WS coverage, and really have not missed it.
I have been a faithful listener to MLB 175 since its inception through all seasons, but I am thinking I've been enjoying the commercial free musical bliss a lot since I boycotted all the analysis of the WS. So I think I'll still listen to the off-season, but not nearly as much as before.
I absolutely know today that Mark was an incredible on air personality, because how much I am able to just change the channel today. I bought new xm radios so I could digitally record his show when I couldn't get reception at work before the change. Today I'm not certain I'd replace my XM radio if it broke!

I will probably listen very little this off-season, just tuning in to MLB Netwroks hot stove instead. Except for Joe Castellano, I don't enjoy most of the on-air voices (and there are several cases where I would rather listen to fingernails on slate!)

During the season about an hour a day!

I will listen about as much as I did during the season, which is to say not much at all. Actually I have been listening to XM in general very little. Even the music channels are shells of their former selves. The ones that I liked they either did away with them outright or watered them down to the point that they are unrecognizable.
Cheers,
Rosie

My radio broke in February and now I watch the MLB Network in place of XM.

It is good to see new Mets fans on this board.
Enjoy the off season we can't lose any games!

Yeah, Jeff, I can imagine this World Series was a real punch in the throat for a Met fan. Now you know how I felt in '86. 
Anyway, welcome to the newbies, and please keep posting!
Cheers,
Rosie

Rosie,
It was not a good year to be a Met fan.
I ended up cheering for the the hated Phillies in the series and even they lose!
