FM listening is relatively stable over the last 25 years, while AM is
off by 30%.
Satellite had a net loss of subscribers last year, with a horrible
Christmas season and low sales of new cars with pre-installs sealing
that coffin. XM Sirius has no cash and nearly a half-billion in debt due
in April.
They will declare bankruptcy and reorganize lean and mean. They are not
going anywhere but up.
