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.

CC is crooked

[Wansu]

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!
