[IRCA] It's not XM...it's the local stations.

["Karl J. Zuk" <karlzuk@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

XM is not undermining local broadcasters with their local traffic and 
weather coverage. The local broadcasters do a fine job themselves by asking 
the public to listen to their lousy content. All the HD radios and IBOC in 
the world won't compete with XM and Sirius when their programming content is 
so unlistenable. (IMHO) Karl Zuk N2KZ
