Philly and South Jersey MINI Owners

Hey, I'm picking up my MINI this weekend and have a question for those of you who already have your MINIs. Does anyone know if the radio picks up 87.7 FM (Channel 6) TV? I once owned a Land Rover and it was unable to access the station. Land Rover said that station is considered a military station in England and therefore cars assembled in England have this station blocked.

Let me know.

Thanks so much for your help. Very good point about February. Guess we'll have to see how that goes.

All good here too. I have stubby antenna and can pickup the station quite well. Listen to it from Mt. Holly to Hamilton most mornings with no problems and most of the way to Ocean City.

Good luck this weekend!

Thanks for the feedback. It comes in loud and clear! I work in Hamilton too! Perhaps we'll see each other on the road -- and I will be waving.
