Answers to your cliches:

1. Well 20 million and counting have decided to flee commercial-ridden, tight-formatted terrestrial radio to have over 100 commercial-free stations in virtually any genre and sub-genre they are in the mood for.

I have an iPod too and it is a great complement to satellite radio. I discover new music on commercial-free satellite radio and download it to my iPod.

In five years, satellite radio will have over 100 million subscribers.

I believe that is still true. And there's that part of NE Arizona on I-40 where the only station you can get broadcasts in Navajo.

Try US 160 from Durango, CO to Flagstaff, AZ some time. The only thing you can get is three Navajo stations.

One of them was complete with a Navajo "top 40"...

Actually I was pulling your leg - I had heard 640 not 650

However according to Wiki even that may be urban legend

It's not going anywhere. This Markman guy has been writing articles like this for some time. He has a bug up his butt for satellite radio in general and Howard Stern in particular.

It may not be the wave of the future, but it fills a niche for upscale consumers desiring specialized programming.

You need to be more specific. I live in a "Western State" and I have neither cable, satellite TV nor satellite radio. Now if I still lived in Eastern Washington, you would have a point.

1. Why would anyone pay for radio when you can get it free?

Try driving in western states.

Doesn't anyone have CD players anymore?

Heh-heh, not a problem! I've been following these satellite radio threads for quite a while, and just about every one has people chiming in with those inane points. It's almost like the Ann Coulter Rule.
