Ummm.... people actually PAY for radio....????
Seriously - if someone feels that they need to pay for radio (yes, I understand the convenience of never having to scan stations for programming, but goodness...).
I have satellite radio mainly for the cable news channels. I agree, most anything else isn't worth the money.
When I'm driving 1200 miles at a time, I enjoy the same station throughout the trip. If I'm going to get on the freeway in a few minutes in an urban area, I can pop on the traffic for that region.
But, all that being said, XM should tell Sirius to take a flying leap. Glad I'm not invested in either company - XM has worked hard to pay off their debt, rather than Sirius working hard to create more.
