[BC] Is this a Serious Sirius problem?

[Bruce Potterton - KSGN]

Does any one know if any FCC indecency rules apply to such "over-the-air"
rebroadcast of programs such as H. Stern?   I had one of our listeners call
me, saying that he was very offended by what he heard (H. Stern) while
trying to listen to us.

This isn't a Sirius problem (or an XM problem, or an iPod-with-an-iTrip
problem). This is a phenomena that happens all the time - the slang is
iTripping, and it's the exact situation that's described - a car sidling up
next to another car hearing what the first car's FM injector is sending out.
It's like getting overridden with a linear amp on CB, but very temporary.
Most people aren't bothered by it. I make it a sport when traveling along
the 15 to Vegas, hearing what others are listening to.
