MSNBC has the lowest ratings on television and radio in the news world. If it does become a deciding factor for anyone, it will be a very few.

Well so what is causing the overwhelming Sirius vote?

interesting. XM carries the BBC World Serivce and in another forum someone is lamenting that the Sirius package is different. I guess that we all have differnt tastes.


BTW any news on the renewal of NPR programming on Sirius? NPR was making noise about not renewing but that could be negotiations posturing.

NPR's programming on Sirius doesn't cover their biggest shows such as 'All Things Considered' which they won't release because they still want their radio stations to be successful.

Sirius carries BBC worl service and XM carries BBC fro london totally different package.

 

[Peter Parker]

Avtually I believe taht XM carries the actual BBC World Service which , as others have noted, contains both news and non news programming. Sirius has a customized feed that is news only.

CBC on Sirius.

Here is the final list. If the last few polls show anything they show that even when the differences are slight Sirius will win. We seem to bea pro Sirius group.
