Based on extensive studies of Arbitron diary returns, 95% of all
listening (quarter hours) happens in the 64 dbu contour, however
it is measured. The fact is, outside that contour, there is
little listening.


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.

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.
