This is really a unique way to introduce a revolutionary new system. 
If all these stores are closing out these radios not long after 
they've been introduced to the market I would guess we won't be 
reaching the required 800 million replacement radios anytime soon. 
Radio Shack has been trying to get rid of the Accurians as closeouts 
for months now. In my market that leaves Best Buy as the only option 
for a full price IBUZ radio with their own Insignia brand. It has to 
be tuned by the remote. They're always missing. A great marketing technique.

Maybe there aren't enough rooftop antennas available to make them work.
