Re. Richard's posting - "Once merged, a-la-carte packages would be offered that provide various channel mixes at rates less than $12.95/month. Such packages "...will include an attractive mix of music, news, informational, sports, children's, and religious programming...." >snip< Wonder if a "public radio bouquet" would be offered?"
Want to bet that you'll find they're rapidly going down the cable TV road as regards packages? I bet when the time comes you'll find 'packages' that consist of one or two highly desirable channels interlarded with unlistenable crap - the audio-only analogs of cable packages that force you to accept 30 channels of cubic ziconia programming for each channel that is actually wanted. I think that we'll soon be seeing the radio equivalents of garbage like QVC and HSN paying Siruis/XM to be carried by them and their streams placed in subscriber packages. Because of this additional revenue stream Sirius/XM will *not* be allowing the peasantry to buy by the individual channel. It was fun while it lasted but the mediocre *always* drives out the good in present day society.
