XM vs. Sirius

August 9, 2005 in Technology with 4 Comments

Here’s a look at subscriber forecasts for both XM Satellite Radio and Sirius. It’s interesting to consider the future of satellite radio. I think it’s here to stay. We’ll see, however, what sort of long-term impact podcasting has on the viability of this radio format. It’s hard to beat live anything though.

Personally, I’m one of the XM Radio subscribers that loves the service. For one thing, who would have ever thought you could listen to live golf tournament coverage on the radio? Really…you can’t top that.

    I’m with you Tony, XM radio rocks! I don’t know how i lived without it. On my pre-sets: ESPN, Foxnews, 80′s, ComedyUSA, PGA.

    Greg, that’s scary. I listen to four of those same five channels. I haven’t listened to ComedyUSA yet. I better check that out. I love to laugh, so that could be my next new channel.

    Tony, it’s XMcomedy on 150, LaughUSA on 151. They’ve got some great comedians, really breaks up a long road trip. Be warned though, occasionally they’ll have some guys with “colorful” language, so be ready to change stations :)
