You're right Mike, those sound like positives and if I lived where you do, I would probably view them more in the same light. Still, , as you said, I do live in Canada, so I've blocked by the company from experiencing those advantages firsthand. To me, Clear Channel is a company that chooses to shut non-Americans out when it comes to listening, and for a lot of us, that's where it begins and ends. But I'm probably not the most positive person to speak on the subject of commercial radio. These days, whether it comes to streaming or to listening off line, I find that XM is my choice more often than not. Right now I'm listening to the Cubs game with a lot more clarity than I would receive from MLB.com. Unfortunately, today the quality of the broadcast is much higher than the quality of the game, but you can't win 'em all.
