I wonder how they're gonna label it on the sats. Probably either "Nat'l Lampoon" or "National Lampoon". You lucky Inno users get a picture and hopefully the cover of Christmas Vacation as a background.

"just as we suspected"
The NLR thread on XMFan has been following and building on the story since August 27th. Orbitcast did a speculation post the day before the official announcement.

16 characters (including spaces) is the limit for channel names.

Anonymous Coward: No, Orbitcast reported on what XM Fan had discovered and gave them credit them for that. The speculation post was made in May 2005 when NLR first made the announcement.
What's your point?

I guess "Anonymous Coward"'s point is that he/she is BOTH needlessly negative and unable to read well.
