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.

It could have been all solved if the US had adopted DAB digital radio like everywhere else in the world...but guess what, Clear Channel had it squashed precisely because it'd bring "too much competition". So the US is lumbered with the rather useless 'HD radio', or pay-per-month satellite radio.
