Sirius in the Bimmer and XM in the F350 and there is no doubt in my mind that 1) XM has commercials and 2) XM has a considerable higher amount of talking on the music channels. Even they have admitted it in press releases (68 of their regular music channels are commercial-free, but what they consider commercial-free is far from what the rest of the world considers commercial-free :^) and their rationale has been that since they are less expensive than Sirius and the revenue must be recovered. They are tinkering with the idea of raising prices and eliminating the commercials on all channels. Though I don't think for a minute they can skip commercials on many of the talk programs. They've got some of Fox's highest priced talent on their talk channels. And I don't think he is mistaken about Murdoch either. As I mentioned before...Murdoch owns DirecTV and DirecTV has ownership in XM. That indicates Murdoch has an interest in XM. I have not found anything that says they have sold that interest although earlier in the year they were proposing to. |
