Why does my radio keep skipping?

There may be a break, weak point, or loose connection in the wiring between the SiriusXM antenna and the tuner. Or there could be the same issues in the wiring between the tuner and your stereo. This can affect the sound quality and it may cause the radio to cut out often.

Do radio stations know when you change the station?

No. Terrestrial radio stations, for the most part, have no mechanism by which to monitor their listeners’ habits. As radio is broadcast over air waves, technology does not presently exist that allows stations to determine the time, duration or number of receivers that are in use at any given time.

Can radio stations tell how many listeners?

To see roughly how many people are listening to the number one station in an entire week, multiply the “one second” number by 10. For example, for Casper WY the number one station has 635 people listening in one second, so it has 6,350 people listening in one week.

Why do radio stations play the same songs over and over again?

The stations are basically forced to only play those same songs over and over again because they are the most successful in getting listeners to stop on their station as they channel surf in the car. There is basically no time to worry about venturing out. Repetition will make you like a song.

I know this is an old thread but I can tell you what it is and it’s not your car. It’s something called RDS which is the radio subcarrier that sends the song title and artist to your radio.
