Whether you’re hitting the highway for a well-deserved family road trip or stuck in traffic while en route to the rink for hockey practice, it’s great to have SiriusXM along for the ride. And if you’ve set your car radio’s presets, you’ll have no shortage of musical options to keep you company and help pass the time.
As a parent, I’ve enjoyed new music with my kids via Hits 1 and have also enjoyed sharing some oldies with them via ‘80s on 8 and ‘90s on 9. And the new channel The 10s Spot is their version of nostalgia! But I thought I hit the gold mine when I discovered LL COOL J’s Rock The Bells Radio. One drive to power skating later, however, and my son learned new words and new combinations to use said words. Oops!
