Is satellite radio dying a slow death?
Answer:
I would agree that with Clear Channel originally tapped to program some of the music channels, and with commercials on a number of XM channels, that satradio will never come close to terrestrial radio. There's nothing different about it, and if you really want to control the music you hear, you'll listen to a CD, which has also been around a lot longer.
I listen to a lot of talk radio, and find the internet more helpful than OTA or sat radio. I use a site called Yakcasts (http://www.yakcasts.com), although there are a lot of them out there, that lists all the major talk shows and tells me all the stations around the country that stream the show at different times, so I can listen to Sean Hannity, say, at 3pm, 7pm, midnight, or 4am. The internet and OTA together I think will be the best combo going forward.
I think satellite radio just need's a little time to catch on, but i do agree with you that it is the same tracks over and over.
+just like everything your born then you die
As far as how long before a merger, one can only guess. Satelite radio is going through the same problems cable TV did when it was new, namely, why should i pay for something that I can get for free.
who me?
no i believe satellite radio will be around for many years to come. i have sirius and you must be out of your mind comparing commercial free uncensored cd quality music to fm radio. There is so much to listen I hardly ever watch tv anymore. You must be tuned in to only one station or you only like one type of music.
Satellite radios have to make money to stay afloat.They are burning cash.
They can do so by merging and cutting expenses or get many persons
like Howard Stern and other renowned broadcasters.
