IS IT ALL OVER FOR XM/SIRIUS & HOWARD STERN?

Let's hope not.

Either one of those sat. services is a ton better than what's on the radio dial.

The 50s, 60s and 70s channel has more oldies knowledge in 5 min. than KO-NO ever had!
Such a sorry "oldies" station.
 
Since I mostly listen at home, I'm getting a lot more enjoyment out of my new Internet radio than I did out of XM. I can listen to local stations from other places, as well as multiple versions of music from my favorite decades and genres. Considering how the local news-talk stations are spending most of their time lately on national politics, rather than local, it's becoming easier to see the advantage of radio that comes in over the 'net from other places.

Once mobile broadband becomes affordable, there's no way I'd choose satellite radio over Internet radio.

But that's only true if the NT stations offer good local programs.
I know some markets like San Antonio and Dallas do have a good lineup of local programming, but most stations, even the once venerable WOAI, used to air little syndicated shows. Today, it's most of their programming, with most NTs only offering local early a.m., with the rest of the day - and p.m. drvie - syndicated by the likes of Hannity.
 
You guys are right about the local shows talking up the national political news topics. Boring and predictable.

Try The Todd & Don Show at 10am on KLBJ AM 590. Refreshing, local, and funny as (*)^&%%##^
