said by John97:I'm opposed to the merger because I see no good coming from it. Mel Karmazin wants to make it just like commercial radio, with the key word being commercial. He's all-for increasing the amount of advertising aired on satellite radio. If I am going to get bombarded with commercials, I'll go back to listening to regular radio.
The only place you are likely to see commercials is the channels that ALREADY have commercials, like the talk radio channels. The music channels are more likely than not going to stay commercial free because Karmazin knows that the only selling points that Sat. Radio has over terrestrial radio is music without commercials and no censorship of the content.
