More convenient for him to listen to without hooking radios up perhaps? Plus there's plenty of stations on FM playing what he likes.

He doesn't care about Sirius XM. I'm not talking about the listeners, the company itself.

hmmm... he should. because without them - FM would never have picked him up again... he should remember the couple years he had no FM show... where were all the FM stations then beating down his door?

That's what his iPod is for.

Unfortunately for Sirius XM, people are finding alternatives for commercial free music, as well as radio. No fee required.

but how do they figure it's free?

internet radio still costs u your internet bill a month....
Itunes costs out the ass
other options like audible cost money...

my alternative for commercial free music - the stations on my satellite and that costs me almost $100 a month - I'll take sirius anyday but I am NOT listening to fm... I forgot my radio the other day and had no CD's.. I almost turned around half way cause I was screaming at the radio cause there was nothing I listen to on and commercials for like 10 minutes

sorry - end rant//

I'll take bubba's ipod - it's identical to half the damn stations up here already and at least it's got no commercials and you can cycle through the songs

It's not free, but psychologically since people are paying for the devices and internet access, that doesn't seem like a "fee."

Audible only has a few radio shows from XM. It's mostly Audiobooks they sell. But podcasts in general are starting to appeal to many more people than they used to.

Satellite radio still has great potential, but they have to adapt quickly.
