ClearChannel Complains About XM, Sirius Radio

andyring writes "In the latest attempt by a big corporation with a failing business model to win by legislation and not in the marketplace, ClearChannel is whining to the FCC about XM Radio's recent foray into localized traffic and weather reports." Here I was thinking that satellite radio was a good thing for competition in radio.

Fuck clear channel

What's good for customers, is bad for them. CC want's total control of the market. I've heard good things about XM lately. I think I'll subscribe just to piss them off. I want to listing to what I want to...when I want to. I can't stand CC stations that only play a roster of 10 songs a day...shuffled over and over.

Oh ya, fuck hip-hop! God I had to get that off my chest.

CC is crooked

They bought their way into the position they're in today by paying off Bush and that Michael Powell. Is anyone surprised that they whine about XM?

In NC, CC dominates the FM radio dial. Other than WCPE and college stations, there's CC. How bad do they suck? So bad that in the past couple of years, lots of wonderful Pioneer and Marantz Super Receiver of the 70s are being sold dirt cheap.

Michael Powell is at the center of it all. This is crooked politics at it's worst. I hope a terrible fate befalls him such that he is unable to enjoy his ill-gotten gains. Vote these crooked ass Republicans out this November!

Read it again, man. 4 out of 5 of America's enemy leaders ...

Of course the US's enemies are going to not like Pres. Bush and want to see a liberal douchebag in office, so they can continue with their genocides and attacks on civilians.
