I don't think anyone should get sat. radio just to listen to one talk show
i completely disagree. i think many people buy sirius or xm just for stern or opie and anthony, with the other content as a bonus. they are the 'killer app', so to speak.
I don't see have your average comsumer is thinking Opie and Anthony when they think XM. Any XM commercial out there doesn't pump the fact that Opie and Anthony are on.
O and A are just one show, the things about XM I like are being able to listen to baseball broadcasts from every team in baseball, hockey playoffs, got a channel for NYC weather and traffic, their four dance/electro channels (XM Chill, BPM, The System, the Move,) Joe Frank on Sonic Theater, and of course Ron and Fez. My friend has his Siruis unit, for his car, man, what a piece of shit. only tells you the channel, and then has to scroll in order to tell you the song playing. I got the SkyFi, I get a nice display, tells me what channel, what's on, the time, singal strength, and I can program which stocks or sports teams I want scrolling updates on, and I just got the boom box for home and the beach. All Sirius seems to have is Howard and Eminem's favorite playlist. I'll pass.
