totally bogus, as sat radio has hit a brick wall on new subscriptions and
the churn rate is huge after the free trial offers expire.


Poor argument - the 1960's didn't have cell phone/streaming, Satellite
Radio, the Internet, Internet Radio, etc...no nearly the same
situation Bud!


The advent of TV did not change things at all...and TV was alone in offering
a single alternative. Today, none of the alternatives reaches as many people
as radio does. None.
