Then I sold my vehicle and moved to Charlotte, NC and figured I would not get XM again because surely the radio in a big city would have lots of variety and a good rock station.

Ah, sad that you missed the days of 95.7 WXRC. It is now a jockless "Drive" station. I haven't heard 106.5 The End, but I know the programmer, and he's generally been very good.
Big city radio is an interesting dilemma. It seems the bigger the city, the suckier the station. DC is an absolute cookie cutter market. The one top 40, the one rock station, the one country station. Even the public radio is bland.
Hampton Roads, on the other hand, has two decent rock stations, actual local talent, a decent college station, a triple A station.... I guess smaller revenues makes management feel allowed to experiment.
When I'm in HR, it's radio. As I commute north to DC, it's the mp3 player.
