That's geography. Little don't mean none. The smart people don't
live in the city.

Sorry, but advertisers are not interested in people outside the metro (MSA).


And we aren't interested in you. That's why we have Sirius and XM and
your HD is going to fail.

XM stock is off 60% in the last 18 months, as investment analysts project
slower growth. Satellite represents less than 0.5% of radio listening now,
and would have to get near 20 million subscribers just to represent a 1
share of national listening... that is at least 3 years away.

Bull****. There will be 20 MM listeners in under a year. Each sub
represents more than 1 listener. Price per share is not the
Arbitrons.

Your dismissive attitude toward the exurban audience is symtomatic of
the dinosaur radio business in general. Y'all are a bunch of
assholes. It's conveyed in the programming.

For your information, my neighborhood is full of satellite radio
subscribers.

XM and Sirius stock are both off for missing the goals on subscriber
growth projections that now have been revised. The revised brake even
point is 1 to 2 years away for both companies. Might happen or it might
not.
