"Satellite Radio Is Radio"

"Niche formats -- the ones you'd think attract subscribers who'd be
happy to pay for satellite channels -- do poorly. Sometimes very
poorly. Sirius Underground Garage has about 45,000 cume listeners.
XM's Fungus has 44,000. It might be better to turn the electricity off
and save some money. But...the long tail theory applies to satellite
radio as it does to popular music. All those little "low rated"
channels make up what's called the satellite radio audience... Can you
see why radio is on the decline, NPR is defying the delivery system it
is on and satellite radio can't seem to get revved up... Forget HD,
bickering between terrestrial radio and satellite radio, Wall Street
investors and the like (Am I alright? Did I really say forget Wall
Street?)."

Ha! Ha! Eduardo! HD Radio's niche formats will fail!
