Your big problem is you want to be like every one else. If I wanted the FM format I can get it without a fee. Go back to old look, or you can cansel my subciption.

I was a johnathan schwartz listener several years back on WNEW AM and WQEW. I want to hear many sinatra songs and he spins other singers then slips in a couple of Sinatra songs an hour.Boring! You expect to hear Sinatra Dean and Sammy and you get Jazz, Ella,Mel Torme, Crosby and Al Martino.

XMs death started when they pulled fungus 53 for an ac/dc channel 2 months ago to promote there new album and a 24 /7 metallica channel to promote there new album. What total sell outs. Now they have pulled all the channels that played anything out of mainstream. XM=FM & FM=XM only difference is you have to pay for it and the sound quality is less than free radio. No chance of hearing anything new and exciting.
They no longer want the 55 and under crowd, the hell with all you kids.... 24 7 ac/dc, 24 /7 greatful dead, 24 / 7 bruce springsteen, 24 / 7 led zeplin, 24 / 7 elvis ???? I am 34 and these people were all playing before I was born.
A new 24 /7 catholic radio, 24 /7 DR radio (yes, radio for doctors), a Jimmy Buffet channel, a Sinatra channel...
Its just a waste to pay for this now.

Why should the govt. bail out the auto industry when all of the new and used car lots are over flowing with cars and trucks now.

people will compliain like they did when PBS started to do it-then they stopped. If sat radio feels their content is good enough-then people will stay

Well, they could run ad spots in all sorts of media about the brands and types of cars with their radios in them. If a consumer doesn't know about an idea, they can hardly act on it.

This article is just rehashed old news from other sites. You read it elsewhere, post this 'blog', but fail to include a single new bit of information or even perspective. Thanks for nothing.
