XM Satellite Radio Doing Better Than Expected
from the I-was-wrong dept
Ok. Ok. I'll admit that, so far, I've been completely and totally wrong about the chances for satellite radio. I just didn't see the appeal. However, it appears that plenty of people do see it. In fact, more people than expected have signed up for XM Radio. It's not often these days that you hear of a company doing better than expected.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Ok
Can you tell I'm an Apple user?
Seriously though, I've been increasingly disgusted with radio these days. I have 6 "favorite" stations programmed in, and at any given time 4 of them are talking, and the other 2 are playing shitty music. I only commute about 20 minutes each way, but I'm starting to see the appeal of hundreds of channels of music...

Re: Ok
worth 12 bucks a month. Especially now that internet radio is going to become history. Since I, like so many, are banned from having broadband because of where we live, internet radio isn't an option for me anyway.
