Older kids still get access to the top 40 countdown, but also many more stations that provide music all the way back to the 40's till now. They can even tune in to their own specific likes as far as music goes because satellite radio provides access to rap, hip hop, rock/punk, alternative, jazz and classics like Billie Holliday and Frank Sinatra. Many of these programs are hosted by major musicians that the teens like or sports stars. It may not be interesting to you as a parent but the kids love it. Some other channels that are offered through satellite radio are the Discovery channel, E!, and the comedy channel.

Basically satellite radio offers you all of the same great programming that premium cable offers you, but with an obvious difference; the services are not televised but listened to on the radio. A great deal of the music offered by satellite radio is provided by computer generated song lists, not unlike your computer's MP3 Play list so that you can get a better variety of the music that you love be it old or new. Satellite music channels are provided live and by passionate DJ's that love putting in the best of the best. You can get music and shows for teens or for young children to play any and everywhere. Satellite radio is fast becoming one of the most popular forms of radio out there. For some people the fact that the DJ's are not censored or forced into advertising, so if you are sensitive to certain subjects, please don't listen.
