radio."

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.


Right! TSL is way down for all of radio. So goes HD Radio:

TSL for FM is down slightly... for AM it is off about 30% over the last 20
years.
