Live, local radio will always have it's place in a community. The ones that don't localize, will fail. If you choose to pay for every thing you see and hear in this life, that's your choice. We are moving rapidly into a "subscription based" economy... Where nothing is owned, only borrowed. The big fat cats will soon own it all. Sat/pay radio will always be the exception, not the rule.

After all, they had to come up with SOMETHING to allow them to claim that FM is superior to satellite radio. If you spend two seconds thinking about it, however, you realize that the fact that nine million people (and growing) are willing to pay for RADIO, something they've always gotten for free, MUST mean that they don't find much value in the free version.
