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.




That sounds like the one I bought. It goes with me everywhere. And I
rarely have a signal outage....except for under bridges in rural areas.

Everywhere I go, I can listen to what I enjoy via satellite.
