It won't affect me, if you want to listen to commercial music on SiriusXM!

Only way to listen to these new channels is to record, playback and skip through all ads. That LiteFM channel is pretty good.

Notice when they go to commercial they only play one commercial then it says your listening to Z100 on SiriusXM 12 and then it will play a song and then rejoin the live feed once the ads are done.

That's what they used to do on WSIX before they flipped it over to The Nashville Channel. Since the formats on the CC stations are relatively generic, what we will have now is not much different than what we had with their canned national feeds.

Just a general question: Has anyone else ever thought that company mission-statements seem a bit goofy. It's always some grandiose statement which basically every other company has regardless of whether they stick to it or not.

For example, if I had an IT business my statement would be something like:
We'll keep client's computers and network working to minimize their downtime.
(if I even had one - you know what your business is - why do you need an official statement about it?)

I don't need a over-sized paragraph with a lot of flowery words to say the same thing.

I know sales/marketing would say more and I don't fault them for that but they're not selling the 'mission statement' of the company but are selling products and services.

Along the same lines it's always bugged me when CEO's would speak or be interviewed. Most of what they say is high-level glossy nonsense delivered with chocolates, flowers, and a smile. The current TiVo CEO is a good example - it's like watching a politician. Now, there are some that I think know the business and have vision and don't really fit into this category (Steve Jobs, Bill Gate (at the time), Charlie Ergen, Mel Kaz-something (Sirius/XM), I could name a few others, if I really thought about it) but must of them just toss out glossy BS to the press and stockholders which really amounts to a whole lot of nothing.
