For starters, the "popular" format all of the CC stations have moved to (for instance... country stations are pop/country, not real country. Same with all the other formats) and you still haven't improved a damn thing. Admittedly, I DO have a soft spot for sports-talk radio, though it's still limited by that fact that they talk for 1 minute, then commercial for 3. It's just a PR move because CC stands to lose significant money if they don't do something. The loss of listeners to XM will continue. For a small subscription fee, you can get (SOME) commercial-free content with a specific bent toward your own tastes. 75023@blogcritics.org Tue, 20 Jul 2004 16:16:42 EDT
