"NO commercials" was the rallying cry for cable television, if you'll recall. It worked, and virtually everyone signed up. Now, there are commercials, the difference being that the cable companies now get people to actually pay for them.
Do you think satellite radio will be any different?
Who Knows!There's always a possibility that the subscriber will be paying more for the programming or watching more commercials.What matters is the programming being carried and what kind of audio or visual experience your having.
The way AM radio is right now unless the programmers do something to their broadcast signal quality a programming they will disappear.They will be forced to change.
