I don't follow the logic here.  You say you've migrated to satellite 
radio because terrestrial isn't local-sounding enough.  Isn't that 
like saying you've switched from McDonald's to Burger King because 
you don't like fatty food?

Satellite radio doesn't impress me much.  The audio quality is just 
horrific.  Can't put my finger on it, but it sounds harsh & fatigue 
sets in quickly.  Some people don't seem to notice/mind, but I can't 
listen for long.
