Way too much repetition. I just came back from a R/T 500 mile each way drive that started the day the engagement started. I was really looking forward to a non-stop run of Python material. Heard the same skits three times within 2 hours. Same goes for others. With all the Python material out there they could have run for at least 24 hours without a rerun. Entertaining material, but Very Disappointed with the programming department at Sirius/XM to say the least. --- NewsGate v1.0 gamma 2 * Origin: News Gate @ Net396 - Meridian, MS - USA (1:396/4) .
