How can someone claim that satellite radio is a "necessity," *especially* for trips between DC and NYC or Phildelphia, with a huge assortment of FM stations to choose from, without turning crimson with embarrassment? That's what we should be wondering. "Feel pity for me, I just MUST indulge myself, you see." Bert ____________________________________________________________________ Funny you should mention it... If you like to listen to National Public Radio, you are out=20 of luck when driving between DC and Philadelphia because both radio stations carrying NPR operate on the same frequency, 90.9 mHz!=20 HOW DID THE FCC SCREW THIS ONE UP???=20 You cannot listen to NPR most of the time while driving because=20 the program of one of the stations (WHYY and WETA) is delayed about=20 10 seconds from the other one most of the time.=20 Bob Edwards will begin his show on XM very soon and I welcome the chance to hear him again clean and clear without the interference I have had to put up with for 18 years. For me satellite radio is an absolute necessity that I welcome and=20 gladly pay for so I can hear the news. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways: - Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org - By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
