Re: Yay ...

LOL.

Actually, I stopped listening to HOO HOO a while before he went to Sat Rad. If I heard Jessica Hann one more time, I was going to revert to my 1987 form

Now why would I, the user of a product be "jealous" of the alternate provider of that service? It makes no sense whatsoever. I don't own stock in either company, and quite frankly I don't care. If nothing changes as far as programming (as we've been promised) then I'll be a happy camper.

But corporate types aren't in the business of keeping promises to customers, they are in the business of making shareholders happy.

Ya gotta earn that suit.

Again, I just get such a chuckle out of being jealous of a media provider. Like I'm jealous of ABC because their "caveman" show does better than whatever is running on NBC, CBS, or Fox.

I do like Sirius' "Sirius shuffle" channel. They play it a lot in a bar I hang out in. I think it's better than XM's "The Mix" channel...

I do like the idea of 2 separate companies competing against each other. Competition drives innovation and keeps companies on their toes...

They compete against many media forms now man , cd's , internet radio in cars ! (yea newer cars are coming with 3g based network devices and pcs on board) the ipod , there is so much more then just Sirius and XM competing. They even compete with terrestrial radio as well.
