I have a couple of reasons why people would buy this radio , 1. Obviously every sports event would be on it. 2. Some people would want to listen to the CC Talk e.g. Beck and others. 3. The exclusive channels e.g. Cinemagic .
I think it would be more of an advantage for SIRIUS subscribers to get this but they could also get XM with Best of SIRIUS. The CC channels do have good talk programming.
Being an XMER, initially, the only advantage I would see to this would be to have the
AWAY NFL broadcast teams. By
not having the BEST of SIRIUS, you would pay 3 extra dollars a month. (XM with B.O.S. is $16.99)
Here is what XM'ers would get that is not offered in their lineup:
