Eh, thanks for using the word "Obamacare" to remind me to skip your post.

Not if you're a weather forecaster who made a prediction of clear skys; or perhaps a taxi driver well known for overcharging patrons...

The fix is easy, really. Offer up a set of channels that are free, open to all radios, with commercial support. Maybe 15 or 20 so of the "standard fair" that you get over the air in most major markets. That should be able to offset a lot of the cost of Sirius, and then, offer additional packages for people who want to subscribe to commercial free music. But, don't charge $13/mo for it. I'm sorry, I have two deactivated radios sitting at home because thats just too much. Maybe charge $3 or $4 for MUSIC. I don't want Howard Stern, I don't want Opie and Anthony, I just want music.
