Jose (what ever happened to him anyway - funny stuff - ? - or Von Meader?)

Thanks for the pointer to Siriusradio, but I guess I am not sure I want to
buy a radio format(s) at $12 per month when there are so many stations on air
"free." While I appreciate the "commercial free" approach - and the potential
"show" programming, do not think this alternative addresses some of the base
questions which I think I posed.

Maybe this is the only alternative, but if so, I think there is something
fundamentally wrong with today's commercial or even educational radio
