Satellite Radio

Having rented a car while driving out West the last few days I had plenty of time to listen to satellite radio. It hasn't changed my outlook on it; it has little to offer other than bandwidth. I enjoyed being able to listen to Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me and some English Premier League games. And having both team's radio broadcasts to choose from for the football games was nice. Nevertheless, overall I didn't find it compelling. I would have been just as happy listening to my MP3 player for music and broadcasts. And other than the live NFL games, it would've been the same experience. The satellite radio companies offer a lot of bandwidth. But other than that, they don't have much to offer that the consumer doesn't already have.
