welp, it's all about content. people can deal with ads, and the pay-per-listen stations will have 'em anyway.

Sirius is doomed, having sold its soul to Howard Stern. And who is going to pay for Oprah?

I'm already noticing how stultifying the canned stuff on my iPod Shuffle is getting...I long for the spontaneity of live radio broadcast...is there such a thing anymore?

Given your comments, it's ironic that you double-posted.

Reminds me of "KMXP" "MIXX 96" 96.9 FM in Phoenix, "The Best Hits of the 80's, 90's and today" whose playlist seems to consist of four songs:

"Photograph" by Nickelback, "100 Years" by Five for Fighting, "September" by Green Idiot (hate that band) ;-), and "Holiday" by Green Idiot.

And then they have the "Ooh Yah" song of the day, which included such favorites as "Wake me up, Before you Go-Go" by Wham! (George Michael's old band, Brokeback ;-) ) and "Centerfold" by J. Geils Band, and "Sexual Healing" by Marvin Gaye.

I decided to hate "Green Idiot" after I read an interview with them in which "American Idiot" and "Jesus in Suburbia" were explained thusly:

"I basically don't know sh*t about the Bible, so I decided to make it up."

And then they call US ignorant bigots...

Cheers!
