I believe it's "their". Way to win an argument.

Yes, radio cume has increased exponentially in actual persons and has dropped very little in terms of percentage of total listenership. XM and Sirius have almost enough listeners to have their own Boy Scouts council. Yes, I do subscribe to XM, but mainly because it's entertaining to hear imaging quality equal to that of the unrated markets I drive through when I'm driving on vacation.
