Why (FM, Not XM) Radio Sucks

wemmick writes "The Washington Post has an article "Can XM Put Radio Back Together Again?" which discusses the history of marketing FM radio, how XM could be different, and about Lee Abrams -- "the man who shackled FM radio to the tyranny of mass market research" and is now program director for XM."

If you're interested, you can listen in online at CBC Radio [www.cbc.ca] (Radio One or Radio Two) or BBC [bbc.co.uk] (1,2,3,4, etc., etc.) and find out what radio that isn't tied by umbilical cord to Big Business can be.

Monty Python and Benny Hill reruns? Oh, let's not forget that unbiased British news (wink wink). If it's anti-American, you'll find it on the BBC. hehe. No thanks, if I'm going to listen to propaganda I'll stick with Fox News.

Five days a week I get news during rush hour and jazz in the morning and most of the evenings, plus blues and a little more variety on the weekends.

You are forgetting the never-ending stream of annoying, worthless, tax-payer funded, left-wing drivel. The NPR propoganda machine is enough to make me want to puke.
