God help us all.

I wonder if any affiliates are making the mistake of using the Sirius feed 
as their means of re-broadcasting on AM & FM?   Last I checked that is 
specifically forbidden by the FCC rules on XM & Sirius...it's so XM & 
Sirius can't (in theory) become a competitor of existing satellite 
networks, which are all dues-paying members of the NAB lobbying arm.   :-)
