XM stock is off 60% in the last 18 months, as investment analysts project
slower growth. Satellite represents less than 0.5% of radio listening now,

Bull****. There will be 20 MM listeners in under a year. Each sub
represents more than 1 listener. Price per share is not the
Arbitrons.

Your dismissive attitude toward the exurban audience is symtomatic of
the dinosaur radio business in general. Y'all are a bunch of
assholes. It's conveyed in the programming.

For your information, my neighborhood is full of satellite radio
subscribers.
