I don't even see why this matters. XM doesn't advertise them anyway, as a matter of fact thier advertising for the service period sucks. They don't market the huge selling points that XM has to offer. Baseball, Oprah, the Bbboys, even the decade channels would be a great selling point.

Now with CBS in the picture, they have been even lazier with it. In all honesty I'm surprised Sirius hasn't ran them under yet. They at least seem to have a fucking clue, although thier programming is inferior to XM which is what has kept them (XM) in it for this long.

They should start with saving juicy bits for XM, then teasing the shit out of it ad-nauseum. (they barely mention XM, I hear one quick commercial for it after the first break, and thats it.) Thats all the boys can do, the rest is up to the nitter and Nate.
