Radio People love the idea of Satellite radio because of all the times they have wanted to say, “fuck” on the radio. It is a deep desire for every Radio Person to say “fuck” on the radio. Because that is a peak in Radio that few people other than Howard Stern get to climb. The other reason that Radio People like Satellite radio is because of all of the different types of music they play.
You see Radio People also tire from playing the same 46 songs 100 or so times a week but that is what their research will tell them to do, never mind the fact that they themselves would never listen to their station and common sense would say if you won’t listen to your product, why would anyone else. The answer? It is that Radio People think the average listener looks like this:
Whereas Satellite Radio seems to be the nirvana of broadcasting where you can swear, play the songs that you want, it rains vodka, and strippers pay you, instead of the other way around. Satellite Radio has taken what Radio People “have always wanted to do” and made it a reality. Kind of like Peanut Butter Twix…it is the same sort of candy, but made better with peanut butter, as everything is. Even the listeners of Satellite Radio are better as most Radio People think they look like this:
Because that is how they view themselves in their funhouse mirrors of insanity.
Now XM and Sirrius have joined forces and to a Radio Person it seems like a threesome with Jessica Alba and Angelina Jolie, when really it is more like Britney Spears and Elliot Spitzer. And sure, the business model of Satellite is better than terrestrial radio but that is a lot like being the smarter retard.
