The NAB hates satellite radio. Your post is not logical, Captain.

The ONLY reason that free, over the air TV and radio is being phased out
for pay services is that subscription TV/radio is more profitable for
the NAB, which runs the FCC. Once again, the regulators get caught in
bed with the people they're supposed to be regulating. Of course,
conspiracists will note that subscription services are easier to control
for government propaganda purposes, but I still suspect that the main
factor is MONEY. Who WOULDN'T want to force one's customers to subscribe
(BIG $$$) to a service which could previously be picked up free with an
inexpensive receiver? Apparently advertising dollars aren't enough for
the media services, they want hefty subscription fees too.
