I'm in a 2011 Lincoln MKZ this week, and it does not have chanels 98-106 active. This includes:
Blue Collar
FoxxHole
Raw Dog
Howard Stern 100, 101
XM Stars Too
Road Dog Trucking
I thought someone had disabled the channels from the radio. Luckily the manual for the car was still in the truck, I looked up the PIN for resetting all "disabled" channels and making them active (ironically, the PIN is 1-2-3-4), and it said "Channels Unlocked", but still 98-106 do not appear on the radio.
Odd?

Getting back on topic, I wish Avis would abandon the idea of the Blast add-on and just restore the radios to proper working order, at least for the duration of the demo period. Especially considering that any number of other ways to get media into the car - especially if you're in a SYNC-equipped Ford.

I pay for regular XM in my private vehicle and listen to Blue Collar and Raw Dog often, and have not upgraded to "Best of Sirius". No idea on Howard Stern, as I would not listen to him even if it was free.

It looks like with the recent XM / Sirius channel shuffling, it's now called 'XM Premier' and the channels are 88, 90, 100, 101, 102, 103, 110
Pure ignorance. Stern is by far the best radio show in history.

I can't believe I am about to admit this.... I am an ultra-ultra- conservative woman in my late 40's who though Stern was repulsive until I took my husbands car on a short trip last weekend.
I didn't change the channel immediately, and found my self hooked. I hadn't laughed so hard in a long time! He is seriously an amazing interviewer.
.... End of confession..... Feel free to resume your talk about AVIS.
