[lbo-talk] Targeting Empire?

[Robert Wrubel]

John: XM Radio is the answer, though not a complete
one.  They have all the pop music decades, from 40's
on, three jazz stations, three classical, one broadway
musical, and one film scores.  They have about eight
news stations and not one worth listening to, except,
now and then, C-Span.
