Todd's Request: Death to Satellite Radio!

2 Companies - Sirius and XM

Now why in the world would anybody pay a subscription to this service? Approximately $130 a year and that's only if you pre-pay - if not, it's $12.95/month. Even if that doesn't sound like much to you, with all the available free options that exist, what is the pupose of throwing away your money? Plus - you have to buy a seperate equipment that would broadcast just for satellite - such silliness.

Congrats to Mr. Howard Stern for his impeccable timing. With hope, even if Sirius collapses his contract will get paid out if it hasn't been already.

Top reasons not to purchase Satellite Radio (not necessarily in this order):

1. HD Radio
2. Podcasting
3. I <3 Radio for iPhone/iPod Touch
4. Pandora Radio (Internet Streaming) - Also an application on iPhones/iPod Touch(s)
5. Best DJs are still on FM channels
6. mP3 players
7. cell phones with mp3 capabilities
