I would agree with you that yes, all the signs are there.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Mar 15, 2009 11:52 am) I think the big problem is that most people are actually fairly satisified with their local (free) broadcast stations, especially when the option is (pay) sat radio. For instance, I would have figured HD radio to be dead right out of the gate, and yet it is hanging in there with a tenacity that surprises me. Most of the stations in my area are now broadcasting several different programs at once on HD frequencies, and more are joining the trend every day. And HD radio, of course, is also free after the one-time cost of buying the receiver.

XM - Sirius called me today to renew and I asked for the $77 a year deal. Said they didn't do that anymore so I said fine and hung up. I called them a few minutes later and talked to another rep who gave me the $77 a year deal without any hassles. Took all of five minutes.
