Rush Limbaugh has no plans to be on Satellite Radio, he thinks that the format is still too small and XM/Sirius still have to post a real profit.

However if both or one them picks up Mark Levin, I am sure at least one FReeper will shell out $$$ just to hear him and the rest of the lineup is just bonus....

Rush Limbaugh is not doing satellite radio out of loyalty for the terrestial radio stations that made him the success he is today. He may change his tune once it becomes apparent that terrestial radio is a dying medium.

I've been a Sirius subscriber for two years now and I'll never go back. Over a hundred stations of commercial free music in just about every genre and subgenre I can think of. All hosted by DJs who are passionate about the music they are playing. And only prissy audiophiles complain about the sound quality. TO most ears, the sound quality is great and better than FM.

Best part about satellite radio (besides no commercials) is the fact that the artist and title of the song playing appears at all times on the display. Now when I hear a song I like, I can go buy it on iTunes right away.

My only gripes is that you temporarily lose the signal when you go under overpasses or under a grove of trees. Also, the news and talk station have commercials. If they can lick those problems, satellite radio is nearly perfect.

Rush Limbaugh has no plans to be on Satellite Radio, he thinks that the format is still too small and XM/Sirius still have to post a real profit. I'm sure there are contractual reasons that Rush cannot immediately go on satellite radio, but many other hosts like Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, G. Gordon Liddy, etc. are on both terrestrial and satellite radio, so I don't see why Rush couldn't be carried on one or both services, and still be available to the millions of listeners he already has on terrestrial radio. I think going exclusively to satellite for Rush would not be a wise move at all, but I think in the future that both he and satelltie radio will need each other.
