[BC] Failing XM Radio

[Larry Bloomfield]

I have to disagree with you. Satellite radio is a very good idea for people who travel extensively. Having to almost constantly re-tune your radio from station to station, especially when you're listening to a networked program material.  As the local 1KW fades away, it's a pain to try to find that same program on a frequency that comes in a tad stronger. I don't know what the figures are, but I'd be willing to bet truck drivers and others who travel extensively are probably some of the biggest supporters of satellite radio. I have both AM/FM and Sirius.  I like to listen to the local stations when I travel, but between towns, I opt for the satellite.
