Sirius carries way more International broadcasting than XM.
They have WRN, as well as the BBC.

I think this may be part of what guarantees the survival of SW. Sirius
DOES have more. In fact, it has vastly more....so much more that the
only way you're going to end up listening to, say, Voice of Turkey is
if you're on a mission to hear it even before you turn on your radio.
Same with the internet. Denmark may have discontinued their shortwave
broadcasts in favor of 'broadcasts' over the internet, but I
personally don't know anyone who's ever seen one. My guess is that
their service is now targeted almost exclusively at Danes abroad or
something like that, but this is precisely the kind of decision
broadcasters have to make. When Denmark discontinued its broadcasts,
it basically said "I don't want this audience over here. Instead, I
want this other, very different sort of audience over there, on the
internet."
I don't think things look so bad for SW.
