I agree 100%. The swill on AM and FM is unbearable. I spend a minimum of
two hours a day in the car and I know I'm not alone. $10 is what I spend
in coffee during the average 3 days alone. I'll gladly pay that for a
month of digital audio.

I need an escape. $10 is a price I'd pay. I know I've been down this road
on this list before. Paul, one thing you need to realize is that many
people on this list are corporate radio employees. Their livelihood depends
on the continued success of AM and FM radio. So there's much negativity
about satellite radio here.

Amen. WZBC is one of my favorite stations. I'm an indie and experimental
music geek. I have trouble receiving them along 128 in the morning. Woe
is me.

Now returning you to your tightly formatted rotation of Sony Music
