Were I at home now, I would give up on commercial radio, and spend the

You're gonna pay for radio?!!! Sucka!


I'd rather take the money I'd save on pay-radio and instead spend it
on records, tapes, CDs and replacement diamonds for my hi-fi.


Good strategy. But also note that you can RECORD pay radio and make
lots of cheap tapes and CDs. Burn a couple of CDs per month and
satellite radio can pay for itself. (1 retail CD == 1 month of sat.
radio.)


And then there are always the hundreds of Internet audio feeds going
on if I don't want to "spin my own".


And what... you DON'T pay a monthly subscription for your internet
access???


Many people I've met have your same, odd attitude. And the
contradiction continues to puzzle me: why do you recoil at paying for
radio but happily accept paying for net access?


Because Radio & TV in the US is nothing but one long commercial. The
internet (at this point in time) offers a great deal more than that. I
do not pay for TV access. No cable. No satellite. No thanks.


The whole "radio/tv should be free and other media should not be" is
just a big headscratcher to those of us who try to approach life
logically.


I laugh at people who wear "logowear". Is your self-esteem so low that
you pay for the privilege of advertising your favorite sweatshop owner?

I tend to agree with you here. I'll never enjoy the internet the way I
used to enjoy AM/MW radio, but the internet will at least let me
listen to most, if not all, of the stations I enjoyed prior to AM
IBOC. If the AM broadcast band really is history, and I'm more and
more thinking that it is, then streaming audio via the internet seems
like the way to go.- Hide quoted text -

Isn't it amazing that just to jam adjacent, smaller broadcasters off
the dial, that theHD RadioAlliance's own stations are jamming each
other! The broadcast industry must be full of morons - I've heard that
it IS full of alcoholics.- Hide quoted text -

I don't know if they're alcoholics, but if Tardo is any indication
they're certainly morons.- Hide quoted text -
