Naw, this is the first truely nationwide
satelite radio stations. When I first heard
about it a couple of years ago, they were 
saying commercial free radio for $9.95/month
and the special radio would cost about $200.
At that time I said expensive but worth it 
not to have commercials.

Now they are saying $9.95/month, no mention
on the web site of the cost of the radios and
only half the commercials of commercial radio.
My response is no thanks. Today half the commercials
next year the same number of commercials and you
still have to pay the $9.95/month.

I am sure it will catch on just like cable TV.

Is this where all the corporate blah radio comes from or just the Muzak?
There is a guy that lives a few blocks over from me that drives a Muzak
repair/installation truck.   Every time I see it I think of a scene
where one of his kids asks him: "Daddy do you put the evil music in the
mall and Walmart?"

Just laughing to myself,
Brian
