Good strategy. But also note that you can RECORD pay radio and make
lots of cheap tapes and CDs. Burn a couple of CDs per month and
satellite radio can pay for itself. (1 retail CD == 1 month of sat.
radio.)
Good point. And the same can be done with Cable TV's Music Choice
service. Hook up a tape deck to the audio outs of the cable box and
you're in business.
And what... you DON'T pay a monthly subscription for your internet
access???
Well, technically I don't. My husband pays for it because he's the
computer geek. 
Many people I've met have your same, odd attitude. And the
contradiction continues to puzzle me: why do you recoil at paying for
radio but happily accept paying for net access?
It's always been a fact of life that you have to pay for Internet
access and telephone service.
Radio was originally designed to be a free service. You buy the
receiver and once you finish paying it off, you don't have to keep
paying to receive the service.
The whole "radio/tv should be free and other media should not be" is
just a big headscratcher to those of us who try to approach life
logically.
Again, the whole idea of radio BROADCASTING was that it was supposed
to be a free service (cost of radio aside), not something where you
had to pay a monthly fee. Even in countries where you have to pay a
licence fee, you can get away with not paying it and still receive the
radio waves.
Which borough? (I'm also in NYC)
Manhattan.
