Why does this website claim Sirius is commercial-free? Listen to any channel for one segment and you'll notice THERE ARE COMMERCIALS.

I have added a section called Satellite radio vs. other formats - I am certain that it could be improved!

The Machine

Bokbsy - excellent expansion by you of the "other formats" section - great detail. As indicated, only change was changing STR to DTR.

I changed bait and switch to loss leader. Bait and switch refers to the unethical practice of advertising one thing and then substituting another claiming that the original item has "run out" when the intent was never to offer the lesser cost item in the first place. A loss leader, on the other hand, is the sales tactic of offering a reduced price or free item with the hopes of the recipient choosing to purchase a higher priced item.:Es330td 19:11, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Does it seem like there's a lot of XM/Sirius content on this page that ought to be on their respective pages? It seems to me that this article ought to be an abstract, leaving the specifics of each operator to their respective articles. -- TomXP411^[Talk] 05:43, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

History of Satellite Radio?

The article says satellite radio started in 1999 but St.GIGA was doing satellite radio in the early 90s before transitioning to supporting Nintendo's Satellaview. So is this an earlier instance or is there a difference between what they did and the things listed in this article? --Jccalhoun (talk) 22:54, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I had the same question when I saw this article. I've added a "contradicts others" template linked to this discussion. kcowolf (talk) 01:47, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
