Which only goes to prove that Sirius is in even more trouble.

As long as folks are willing to throw money at the satellite radio
ventures, they won't be "in trouble." I do wonder, however, about how
$12/month is going to sustain the contracts for tens or hundreds of
millions of dollars for on-air talent; at some point, there has to be a
line in the sand for the providers. I suspect that, in the end, ad
revenue will be too lucrative to pass up, and the "commercial free"
channels will start to disappear.
