    JayThomas, you left out the $175 price tag to cancel the contract with their current provider to switch to AT&T. In my case, getting an iPhone would cost me $650.

    Reminds me of an Offspring song..."I'm not a trendy a$$#ole..."

    Sirius will be king!     Reply

    You forget, not everyone can afford the $299 entry price plus $120 per month for their precious iPhone. Radio is free, and alot of people still look to radio to become more familiar with new songs and to find something new. Sure, there's people out there that like their niche music, and it's great that the iPod (and satellite radio for that matter) gives them what they want. But 95% of americans don't fit in that category, they listen to radio every week. So, while you may not find something you like on the radio, remember, few people hold that same belief. Reply

    After the SIRI and XMSR merger is done, look for a strong partnership between Apple and ((XS)). That will be the final nail in terrestrial radio's coffin. Reply

    I pay for Sirius and I will continue to pay for Sirius. If it goes away, I will listen to my Pod. Terrestrial radio is just a few of the same songs over and over mixed in with a ton of commercials. I switched because I grew tired of hearing the same songs over and over for 20 years.

    And to all of you Howard bashers out there, change the channel and quit your whining! How do you know what he is all about if you don't listen? You sound like people who move next to an airport and complain about the noise.     Reply

    Duude:

    you should give Howard a listen sometime. Much of the time it's actually an intelligent show. Yes, some will consider parts of the show "obsene", "gross", "low brow", whatever. However, I find that most people who express disdain or hate for Stern have never listened to his show. In fact most non-listeners are forming their opinion from what they hear from friends/co-workers/who... when i first met my wife she found that I was a Stern show fan and couldn't believe that someone "like me" (somewhat successfull, straight living, non-sex offender) would listen to such filth. She had never heard the show, just based her opinion off of rumors. Guess what? She listens now too. Interestingly enough, I have found that the core of the Sternshow fans are actually in the higher class of society. Stern is a person who comes off as 100% honest and open no matter what the consequences. He says some of the stuff we are all thinking but would never dare to say. That is why I find his show refreshing.     Reply

    Testicle radio had already killed itself prior to sattelite, Howard moving to Sat radio just put the nail in the coffin. Prior to getting Sirius in 2005 I had already stopped listening to that crap (except for Howard when he was still on reg radio). Repetitive music, retarded DJ's, followed by endless commercials. Who has the patience to listen to yelling car ads over and over?

    I just wish the FCC would quit bending over to the NAB lobbyists and approve the dang merger already. Longest merger EVER and it's not even over a product that is "necessary"! Oil companies, utilities, airlines.......all these mergers go through in weeks, maybe months. Were talking about entertainment and it's taking YEARS to get an approval. Wonderfull government we have isn't it?     Reply

    Yes! By all means, let's tear down all the broadcast towers, so that when some future terrorist strike blocks or destroys satellite signals (you know it's only a matter of time before someone figures out a way to do it, regardless of so-called electronic shielding), there will be no way to let the American (or world) people know about it via any emergency broadcast system. You'll note that I didn't say it would be a "bad" turn of events!

    And the author is 100% correct that we absolutely need the likes of "Howard [Stern]" on the airwaves! "Yell" radio (does anyone truly consider it "talk" anymore?) is an absolute essential to any advanced civilization! (that was rolled-my-eyes-skyward sarcasm, in case anyone missed it)

    Oh, and, may I add, VERY subtle advertising disguised as an article!     Reply

    my head hurts

    the internet killed print years ago, no one caught on yet.

    newspapers and magazine are an investment nightmare.

    should we talk about VIDEO? music? the net makes things cheap. no plastic cd's, tapes or records. no paper, no ink, no shipping. no huge radio towers, nothing. just everyone connected together sharing information.

    things go away when something better comes around, 8-tracks were great but you dont see them in new cars.

    broadcast radio is dead, again no one noticed yet.

    and please oh please get off the iphone thing. its a cute package for the masses to feel like they arent part of the masses but they never get all the bugs out and its still a generation behind. but again, no one notices.

    First, there was AM radio. Then FM was supposed to kill off AM. Then 8 tracks would be the end of radio, then Cassettes, CD players, digital music, Sat Rad and the I-Phone, which will kill everything. Wait till you get your I-Phone Bill. I hope there are no surprises! Sat Radio merger will kill terrestrial radio?
    I do not believe this is the end of terrestrial radio. It will have its listeners. Besides, it will be the content that is transmitted or streamed or .....whatever....that will be successful rather than the type of vehicle that will be used to deliver it. Your Pizza Hut delivery man still brings you your pizza regardless of what type of car he is driving. Content is King BABY!!!!

    Disagree... the internet will kill radio like television killed reading... Think. Look at your heartland logic, there are still ga-zillions of folks who can't afford anything internet but are fully able to plunk down $5 for a portable radio and batteries. If anything will kill our modern mediums, it will be the digital age of HD when we regulate our analogs right out of the hands of the common man. So glad to see our demographical research never extends below the poverty line. Reply
