XM Radio Plans Online Music Service
Grump writes "Diving into the already crowded online music business, XM Radio Online, will launch sometime in early October and operate commercial-free, just as its satellite programming does. XM will charge $7.99 per month for unlimited listening and offer a discount rate of $3.99 to subscribers of its existing radio services."
...is that in the final stages of applefanboyism, the sufferer believes Apple invented pretty much anything...computers, music, the internet, and most cried themselves to sleep when they found out that Steve Jobs was dying of cancer.
It's perfect for me. There are essentially 2 radio stations in Oklahoma. Clear Channel and Argyle (or whatever the hell they are called), they are both Republican owned and operated (very fucking right wing religious nutty). XM via the internet would allow me to listen to Air America and other programs not available in the Republican media state I live in (no wonder this state votes republican so much when they do us so much harm economically).
ClearChannel also has a large ownership of XM. So even then, you're supporting the evil Republicans.
Want to hear more liberal commentary without supporting the evil right-winged controllers of distribution at the same time?
Buy a shortwave radio and listen to Radio Canada International and the BBC. (Or listen to their online streams for FREE).
Air America is just another sham, I've heard it. Even NPR is more interesting than AA.
