Well, the audio quality of XM needs to increase to compete as that is part of what we're paying for. The other part is the commercial free nature of it but I heard an office depot commercial on channel 22 the other day. I sort of expected this because it is one of the Clear Channel-provided stations on XM. It was literally music, a jingle, and a single commercial before normal programming came back. That isn't real bad but CC probably just hasn't built up enough spots for 5 minutes of ads yet.
