I listened to the Temptations featuring Dan DiAngelo do 2 songs in stereo on 60s Gold in my wife's Jeep in my trial run. Looks as if I'll have to become a loyal paying subscriber again. Fox Business on ch 113 ain't bad either.
XM Radio stereo is back.....

I've started listening to Podcast while I'm driving. Thoroughly enjoying it.
Best audio service ever! My first Sirius device was a hand held to take off shore & run through the boat stereo back in 2004.
I listen to my CD's in a car that still has a CD player. 🤣😂🤣😂
PSA: If you voted for Trump, you are no longer allowed to listen to Howard Stern. He sezso.
I just listened to Peter and Gordon 1964 hit A World Without Love on XM Radio in stereo on ch 73 60s Gold. Peter and Gordon and guitar came from the middle of wife's Jeep back seat. Drums from behind the front passenger seat. Sam Cook followed up with Cupid in mono. Sam and all instruments came from behind the middle of the front seat.
I just listened to That's How Heartaches Are Made by Baby Washington in mono on 50s Gold at ch 72. I've never heard this song. Sometimes XM Radio wil play songs that barely made Top 40.
XM called wife on the phone and said we owed $18 for 2 month service. Wife told caller we're on a 3 month free trial and their site clearly shows we have canceled. Wife told caller we're thinking about subscribing when our 3 month trial ends because stereo has returned. Caller said, "A-OKAY!"
I'm a paying customer again. $5.32 a month for 1 year. I can cancel at any time. I won't pay $24 per month for the "ALL" package which I get now. 50s and 60s GOLD is all I care about. I like Fox Business ch 113.
Tired of hearing The Beatles song Eleanor Rigby In monophonic on Sirius XM. It kills the song and really pisses me off to think I’m paying for that.
Eleanor Rigby was cut in monophonic as most all Beatle songs were. Most all songs of the 60s and 50s Gold era were mono. I find some joy in listening to the few which were cut in stereo. ch 76 is the Elvis channel. An Elvis tune I've never heard I listened to in stereo on ch 76.
No XM stereo songs on my brief trip to McDougle's. The DJ played Buffalo Spryngfield which came directly behind me in the driver seat. Then the DJ said let's play the flip side. The flip side sound came from behind the front passenger seat.
The factory non stereo FM and AM both comes from the middle of the back seat.
I can't believe Jeep has a non stero FM radio available. My 1985 Plymouth had a CQUAM AM stero radio. CQUAM Stereo AM radio died off almost before it ever got started.

WACO AM and KOMA AM in OKC were CQUAM stereo for about 10 minutes. They sounded good.
I used to go to sleep in jr. high listening to WKY & KOMA AM radio on a transistor. Didn't even know what stereo was. WKY was the only media station west of the Mississippi that began with a "W". All others began with a "K". Later in life I became friends with a couple of the Gaylord kids in HS. Learned a lot about media & publishing from them.
Also got the real inside story to the "Foreman Scotty" show that aired after school with an audience of kids & an ongoing live "auction" story line.
WKY was the first AM radio station west of the Mississippi River. FCC made the rule later that radio station call signs west of the Mississippi must begin with K. The few stations west of the Mississippi that begin with W such as WKY, WEW St. Louis, WDBQ Dubuque, WMT Waterloo, WOAI Des Moines, and a handful of others were allowed to keep their call signs.
WACO in Waco managed to get a special waiver from the FCC for permission to use the WACO call sign.
And yes. WEW AM radio in St. Louis is historically significant. WEW is WEST of the Mississippi River, making it First radio station west of the Mississippi River. First broadcast April, 1921. That beats WKY.
And lest we forget, listened to KOMA in San Diego Navy boot camp in mid 60's!
The giant 50,000 watt WBAP 820 AM in Fort Worth still broadcasts in C QUAM stereo. Almost no one has a C QUAM stereo radio to listen in.
