I'd actually almost prefer it that way.  If I was paying for a music 
service I'd want it relatively free of clutter.  The couple of times I 
listened to my brother in law's XM, I found the djs too, for lack of a 
better term, satellite format-ish (ie-really generic like a syndicated 
satellite format), and not particularly entertaining...imho, the djs really 
didn't add much...the receivers can display song info anyway.
