Re: [Swprograms] OT Siriusly getting more expensive

[Richard Cuff <rdcuff@xxxxxxxxx>]

That appears to be an offshoot of their "a la carte" offering -- they
committed to do this as part of the XM acquisition in order to secure
FTC / FCC approval.

Last time I checked a couple months back, there was only one
aftermarket radio that had the capability to pick & choose channels,
and it wasn't one of their cheaper radios.

My inquiry was prompted by a new practice of passing music copyright royalty fees on to the subscribers.  I have lots of ways to hear music I choose without paying a monthly copyright fee. So I asked Sirius if I could get just the news and talk channels for a discounted price.
