If my memory is correct, I believe Sirius has about 60 commercials free channels.
"I'm amazed that anybody would shell out even a nickel for radio"
A similar argument could be made for cable or satellite television. But apparently 70+ million US cable and satellite subscribers want more TV channels then their local market provides over the air. Sure, more people enjoy television, but watching TV while commuting to work is a little dangerous not to mention illegal in many areas.
Sirius has about 135+ channels and provides a variety of different formats that are not available in my local market. I'm not a big Stern fan. I listen primarily to the dozen or so news/world/talk channels. Another thing I like is that Sirius provides two feeds (home and away) for all the NFL games.
I didn't choose Sirius over XM. The vehicle I bought new in '05 had the Siruis/Nav/CD setup and included a 12 month free subscription. When I bought it, I had no intention of continuing the service after the free 12 months. But after a year, I like it and it works for me.
People shell out money for all sorts of different things. Some want 30/5 FIOS where as others are content with dial-up. Some choose cable, some are happy with local over-the-air channels. Some choose fancy wireless data plans, and some people won't even spent money to get a cell phone. Some choose the dating scene, other choose prostitutes. Oh wait... Anyway the point is, to each his own...

Our new solution to global warming: an army of nano-workers carrying off all the CO2 greenhouse gas molecules.
Hooray... Once they are finish, maybe we can stop threatening people that have differing views to extent of man's contribution to climate change.
