All music all the time is a red flag for drivers.

Puts you to sleep. So you gotta have those commercials.

Better yet, find a good talk radio program and let it get your blood boiling. That's far better than coffee for keeping you wide awake!

I occasionally listen to music, comedy and the 'old-tyme-radio' channels, but primarily I got XM for News...

I spend a lot of time in remote areas, and on the rare occasion I can get ANY AM or FM reception at all during the day, it is music that I can't stand and if there is any news at all, it is super left wing nonsense like NPR.....

Either that or one of the Mexican stations blasting out a half million watts of 'La Cucaracha'.

So, I'd be 'lost' without XM. And though FOX news has gone leftwards, It is still the only news station that doesn't constantly make my blood boil, so I hope that XM will survive and that they will continue to carry FOX.

I work at the US-Canadian border where North Dakota meets Minnesota, and since we can't seem to get even 1 radio station in, i would go crazy if it weren't for my xm radio. IMO, the music on Sirius is much better, but since xm is the only one that carries MLB games, i'm stuck with it. I did read an article a couple weeks ago about how xm is trying to make a deal with apple to integrate the ipod with xm radio, but it said the deal was most likely a couple years off.

I really can't understand what these people are losing money on. As far as i can tell, their operation hasn't changed very much in the last year, but they keep gaining subscribers. With roughly the same business model, how do you go from turning a profit one year and losing massive amounts the next?
