Like that 25 MHz of digital spectrum will go dark?

Sirius will go bankrupt, wipe out the investors, then the creditors, and
then you, in that order. The only way terrestrial radio can stay
relevant is by being local. That means a news department. That means
putting on live shows and generally interacting with the folks on a
street level.

You are incapable of doing it because you work for a bloated corporation
who wants to make money. Radio should be a public service that
hopefully turns a profit, not a sour milk cash cow.
