Re: So what?!?! It's definitely going to lead to less content choice on the music spectrum. Karmazin has already admitted that the "similar" music channels will likely have their operations combined. The ONLY people who are going to be happy with this deal are those who need to hear every f--king pro sports event under the sun, and that assumes there's enough bandwidth on both services to support it. The MLB channels can take up something like 256kbps on XM, and I think that's a lot considering that their two transponders only put out about 3mbps each.
Both of these services sound like total crap. Unfortunately neither one seems to care anything at all about sound quality. (XM actually seems to put effort into making it sound like crap by adding EQ in an attempt to override the decisions made by the audio coder that is pumping out puny little 32 or 40kbps steams.) |
