I'm glad private radio is taking off, but I don't think it will do well. Once the price goes to nearly free instead of $10 or $20 a month, it'll be worth it. Until then, it's just not something I'd see most people paying for--and buying a radio for.
Now, if they offered a Stern-plus package, for $15 a year and a free radio, people would buy in droves.
no commercials is worth $10 for me
I don't one person that watches or listens to Stern.
I love my Sirius radio. I have to drive 2-3 hours every day and I have so many options available. It's nice to have FOX News in your car when there are so many breaking stories. They have a "Talk Right" and "Patriot" station which has Tammy Bruce and Tony Snow among others.
I've had Sirius for 1 year and I think it's well worth the monthly fee. It's great on trips since you never lose the signal and I can take the receiver indoors so I can listen while I'm at home. There are so many choices of music, sports and other entertainment, not to mention the fact that I can listen to Fox News while I'm driving!
