I have my wife's car today, so I am without my Sirius. Anyway, to answer your question, ClearChannel/Infinity/MegaCorp radio still controls the spectrum here. The station I had on at lunchtime today is an improvement over the other classic rock station that we used to have -- it switched to Adult Contemporary a couple of months ago -- in that it has a much wider playlist of songs from the classic rock era (defined by me in a purely arbitrary way as 1968-1984).
So, instead of just hearing "Legs" repeatedly as the only ZZ Top song on the playlist, we hear "Pearl Necklace" on occasion. When the music programer in Bangalore has the computer pull up Van Halen, instead of listening to "Jump" 500 times, we hear "Atomic Punk."
Nothing edgy, though. Wouldn't want to disappoint the coveted white males 25-54 bracket (or whatever).
