  Or maybe they are tired of the same old formular music over and over amid
countless commercials, promos, PSAs and yack every hour.  As far as I'm
concern even the satellite-radio yacks too much- just play the music please.

   But I don't think it's satellites that broadcasters needs to worry about-
it's ipods- where people play just what they want to hear- whenever they
want it- with no yack at all.
