If you are watching the TV for coverage, why would you not just turn on CNN (if you are more to the left) or Fox (if you are more to the right)?
This is one of the dumbest PR's of all time.
Of course Sirius is providing coverage of the election, so is XM via CNN, Fox, etc.......
And so is almost every local radio station and TV station and all the major TV networks.
God are their financials that bad they need this kind of BS PR??
I meant...if you are NOT watching TV, you can tune into CNN or Fox on sat radio...why do you need other "special coverage"? I'm sure that these two channels have all the political pundits you need.
"..why do you need other "special coverage"?
Not everybody is a Katie Couric kind of guy. Guess you are.
Its not a push to get more subs for gods sake. their just letting its subs know what kind of voting coverage it has to offer approaching election day.
Just so long as my Stiletto records Howard's politics on Nov. 7th (maybe he'll say something?) or just hear who wins the election, it'd be good enough for me.
