Back in the 1950's many believed that television would put radio out
of business. And then there are those who thought that audio
cassettes and CDs would put radio out of business.

XM and Sirius aren't a threat to anyone or anything. Neither is the
internet a threat to television. No more than frozen dinners are a
threat to restaurants.

Go ahead, say Clear channel. They own a TINY piece of XM. Not much.

They may not own much right now, but they have 2 people on the XM
board.

Not yet but maybe some day. I will say this, I got XM radio last Saturday
and I absolutely LOVE it. I got SO damn sick of all the commercials on
regular AM/FM radio I could puke. They can eat me if they think I'm
listening to 20-22 minutes of commercials per hour. Screw 'em.

When sat radio first came out I said I wasn't interested. I was wrong, it's
absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend it. It's well worth the money
IMHO.

I can't see internet radio taking much away from AM/FM but Sat radio? Yes, in the
future unless the regular stations back WAY off on all the commercials and
I don't see that happening in the near future....


Sat radio rocks!

Sat radio rocks!

Until it gets popular. Then watch the commercials come.

Maybe but people would bail on it if that happened.
It would be suicide, like what the AM/FM stations are doing now, commiting
suicide....

XM is quickly approaching 1 million paying customers. Serius better get with
the program or prepare for a "Fire Sale" as I doubt they will make it. As XM
gets bigger...the competition seems to get dimmer and dimmer...Eddie

Stupid, short-sighted, unfair, bad for the consumer? Yes. Suicide?
Nah. The sheople won't even notice.
