Whatever. It's an aging audience nonetheless, and getting older with
every tick of the clock. You must modernize or you will soon be
extinct.


You know what it would take to make terrestrial commercial radio extinct?
If XM and Sirius both had a non-pay basic tier that was commercially
funded, that would pretty much do it. Nearly universal coverage, and now
they have walkman-sized personal portables.


Those portables only work well in areas with terrestrial repeaters. They
suck elsewhere. I bought one to travel with, and in 9 place out of 10, the
signal is not listenable. And it cost $300.


You'd better focus on your problems, not on someone else's. Everytime
you make an irrelevant post, another segment of your listener base
expires.
