It is very bad for them. It doubles the free FM formats or options in

But....XM & Sirius have commercial free music. And deep playlists.


To a lot of people, $150 a year for what they get free is not worth it. Deep
playlists generally mean that hte channels play lots of less popular songs.
Some like this, most do not. If there were 2000 songs people wanted to hear
in any format, terrestrial radio would play them.

Supposedly.


Yeah, for the moment.
