1/2 Have the musical programming merits of XM vs. Sirius been
debated on the motd recently? If so, would someone be kind
enough to summarize? Otherwise, your humble opinions would
be much appreciated. Most reviews of satellite radio programming
I'd googled had been limited to technical interest sites and the
talk boards of XM/Sirius loyalists (who often troll each others'
discussions) until last Friday, when one of the NY TIMES pop
music reviewers wrote a paen to XM DJs that amounted to
1.5 pages of the kind of positive advertising money can't buy.
Question: does XM programming really represent a rebirth
of the radio DJ? is Sirius not that far removed from Clear
Channel-controlled FM radio? The input of those who play
instruments and/or listen deliberately to music would be
most appreciated. --elizp |
