My first article for my MCJ 178 paper is written by Corey Deitz and posted at About.com. Corey decided to write about the advantages and disadvantages of satellite radio. He state initially that there are three things that he noticed/read about regarding satellite radio which have the potential of having an affect on a person enjoyment of the things Satellite Radio have to offer.
The first is the good. Deitz found that XM radio is beginning to transmit terrestrial stations over their satellite systems. This is a plus for XM because people who just listen to local programming will now have the opportunity to listen to some of their local stations from anywhere in the United States.
The second is the bad. Deitz has noticed that many XM and SIRIUS stations are broadcasting their music in the same format as terrestrial stations. That is, they include "power songs" every hour that are somewhat predictable. Many listeners prefer a more random formating.
Finally is the ugly. Due to sever receivers models to record the broad casted programming. Because of this, the RIAA is trying to put restrictions on XM and SIRIUS services. This will probably be enforced by charing customers with a higher monthly rate.
