According to Satellite Radio TechWorld, XM Satellite Radio has reduced the power levels of 210 repeater towers that were emitting above authorized levels, bringing them into compliance.
Nineteen repeater towers were being operated without authority, fifteen of those have been subsequently shut off. A filing with the FCC requests the authority to turn back on eight of the fifteen repeaters that were shut off.
More information on this to follow. My only hopes is that this action (which began on Sept 23rd) was something that XM did on their own.

It seems as though XM will never lose it's dark cloud. I've noticed reception in my area has gotten worse lately - was wondering why.
This obviously smacks of the NAB. They are certainly succeeding in destroying satellite radio.
XM can't do anything right.
