I must strongly disagree with this sentiment. I think for most people that have satellite radio, AM/FM radio stations are not an option. I very large markets they may be competition, but in the smaller markets the AM/FM radio stations only play the most popular music/news. I want access to the less popular music ad news. I could go out a buy MP3s, CD and other formats, or I can get a satellite radio and let them find the latest bands, get the latest music. With only one satellite radio provider, there is no competition.
