With sat radio offering up to 140 channels and $100 radios, does anyone really think americans are going to throw out billions of analog radios and buy expensive HD receivers just to get 1 or 2 news channels - that have commercials in them?<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by zumahans1 on 07/11/05 09:47 PM.</FONT></P>
