Satellite Radio Subscriptions Rising

Posted by timothy on from the radio-free-space dept.

aSiTiC writes "Apparently, satellite radio is finally catching on. I'm an avid internet radio listener on stations such as KEXP, BBC 6Music and SomaFM. I am looking for a more portable alternative and I wonder if eventually my favorite MP3/RM/WMA internet stations will be ever be carried on satellite."

    Just add the advertisements back in, and charge $0 like with regular radio.

    As it is now, I have plenty to listen to on radio, between the right-wing windbags and NPR ("Rush 'n' Rehm").

    I've had cable TV since 1968 thanks to FCC regulations preventing broadcasters from serving my area (that is, I could not get TV any other way). However, there is plenty on the radio dial at this time for me, no need for pay radio.
