I'm guessing this might be the show:

Used to listen 'until I went out and bought the records that I liked.'

 I also like the ability
 to change genre of music with SiriusXM. The OTR
 station definitely isn't particularly
 enlightened, but given good fortune
 in the
 luck of the programming draw, it can sure help a long car
 trip be
 more enjoyable.  I force my wife to
 negotiate with them every year to get a
 better rate.  She out did herself this
 year-the full version for both of
 our cars
 for $100 a year each. I used to give more than that to the
 local
 FM Classical NPR station.  I went
 over and manned a phone during pledge
 time.  Now it seems like almost every week
 they take away the music so they
 can have a
 fund raising event.  No doubt they are doing a Memorial Day
 fund
 raiser.  They do Mother's Day and
 Valentine's Day and Christmas and
 Thanksgiving, and God knows what else.  The
 scripted repetitive nonsense
 they broadcast
 during these events makes one assume they think we are
 all
 morons.  If you added up all the
 regular full Monty fund drives, the
 special
 event fund drives and the 10 second commercials, there is
 far more
 down time, with little or no music,
 than any of the commercial stations.
 Both of
 the local NPR stations make you listen to 20 seconds of
 commercial
 every time you tune in the
 streaming version.   I often wondered if the
 FM
 stations couldn't let me pay an
 annual fee, and then allow me to listen
 without the fundraising drivel.  Maybe
 something that accesses the extra
 band
 width, like their service for the visually impaired.  I
 have also
 wished that they would spend less
 money on their syndicated programming,
 and
 just play classical music, maybe from their own library,
 like they used
 to. Interesting to note that
 Robert Aubry Davis, one of the XM Sirius
 Symphony Hall announcers, used to be at our
 local station in upstate New
 York. I am very
 pessimistic about the future of classical FM in my area,
 and I guess I wouldn't miss them much. 
 Too bad.
