Isn't the future of radio "satellite radio" (Sirius)??

Damn right!
It broadens the music format to fifty or more different genres instead of the four or five genres that are available in major markets.
Why should the same songs be played on 75% of the stations?
I've got Sirius and I doubt there is a station in Canada that is as good as any of my four favourites on Sirius (Alt Nation, Octane, Left of Center, and Faction). [/b][/quote]
FM Radio (at least in Canada) for the time being will still hold one huge advantage over Satellite radio. The ability to localize. Don't underestimate it. How many times have you heard of a traffic tie up on the way to work in the morning and taken an alternate route? How often to you listen to the "better stations" on satellite or digital cable now? Probably not very. IMO satellite radio has it's place but I think some people fail to recognize that advantages of traditional radio that they use everyday without even truly realizing it.
