Weekly Journal Jan. 26-30

For my weekly media consumption log, I will talk about the time I spent listening to xm radio and it's services. I bought XM satellite radio the other week to replace my broken and annoyingly ugly Am/FM radio. I was surprised at the difference of quality and how little interruptions there are. Maybe I am a few years behind but having the stations grouped by genre, artists, decades, and seasons were a completely new and interesting concept I couldn't completely grasp. For the first few days I just left it on a station and hoped for the best. After 3 or 4 days I realized how easy it was to change around playlists and have them set to the stations that I like at a given time during the day. A week ago, I was reluctant and skeptical of XM satellite radio thinking that if I bought it a week later I would regret it. A week later, I am still learning all of the functions of this device and couldnt be happier with my purchase.

For my weekly media consumption I watched Sportscenter on the ESPN network. The thing I noticed the most watching it this week was their bias to east coast teams. I believe this has something to do with them located in Bristol, Connecticut. I noticed their bias when they started their show with 4 straight sports clips of Eastern coast teams including Boston, New York, University of Connecticut and Duke. They also played up the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Arizona Cardinals in the upcoming Super Bowl. The more I watched the more I realized the time they spend on east coast teams as opposed to the west coast teams. After researching the internet I realized that most of the people they hire are from the east which explains the bias. Despite the bias, I think I'll continue to watch ESPN and Sportscenter on a daily basis.
