[Scan-DC] XM/Sirius Traffic

[Doug K.]

Interesting - I guess the root of the NAB's displeasure is about broadcast 
radio losing listeners (and therefore ratings, and therefore revenue) to XM?

To me, they come off as a little petulant, esp since XM is a fairly new 
subscription service - do _that_ many people have it?  Personally, I don't 
spend all that much time in the car that a subscription service (and 
investment in the hardware) would be worth it...
