CONTENT IS KING. Compelling radio like Howard and Jam_ON is why Sirius is buying up XM.
0.0 loses, again.

Special programming like this is, IMO, better than entire channels being dedicated to one artist. Keep it coming!!

Another reason why Sirius is much more creative when it comes to music programming than XM, despite what others may say. Allman Bros., REM, The Dead, etc., as opposed to Michael Jackson and George Strait. You figure it out. Merger or no merger, this really tempts me to ditch my OEM XM and get Sirius again.

Sirius has been kicking xm's ass for years now. Mel knows content is KING, xm is still haunted by Hugh Panero's blue light special programming ideas, Hugh thought cheap crap was king. Hugh is not only GONE, but WRONG.
