No argument here, unfortunately we are in the minority.

One of the few nice things about my current cable TV subscription is the
100 music channels they broadcast on digital cable (with add on box of
course!).  The bad news is only around 5 of those 100 music channels are
worth listening to. 

Now that Sirius Satellite radio has obtained Howard Stern under a long
term contract - that eliminates them from my choice of satellite music
radio.  Not that I was about to rush out and pay for the equipment and
then be liable for an additional $12/mo in order to listen to it!

Regards.
