AND.....starting March 1st....XM will add 10 continous traffic channels and
cease ALL commercials! Subscriptions are still $9.95 for the first unit per
month..with #2,3,4 and 5 at $6.95 a month....deal with that Cheap-Channel,
Infinity and the spanish blasters.

What happened to 92.7 in New York City? IT WAS THE BEST RADIO STATION
IN NYC. It's now a spanish station! It used to be this hip rock,
dance, new wave station......and for a LI station it was gaining
popularity in the city. Now it's gone...

WLIR was a beacon in the darkness for many years. For more gorey
details, see this week's Northeast Radio Watch at

But really, hasn't New York radio mostly sucked for a long time anyway?
In that respect, it's no different from most other markets where
stations play the same songs over and over again thinking that's the
way we like it.

I've just gotten XM satellite radio in my car and don't have to put up
with it any more. I suggest you check out XM and Sirius.

Correction: XM will add traffic channels (I believe 15 major markets)
and remove commercials from their music channels. Commercials will
still appear on non-music channels.

You're going to have to deal with Clear Channel one way or the other.
Clear Channel is a stockholder in XM. You're going to listen to them
whether you like it or not; whether you pay for them or not.

I suspect Clear Channel, Infinity and the "Spanish blasters" will do
just fine even with the loss of a signal in a suburb of New York. I
liived in Greenwich Village for 20 years and, not once, was I able to
receive WLIR.
