Not only AM/FM, but HD Radio, iPod/MP3, CDs, DVDs, etc. There is plenty of competition out there to "defeat" satellite radio. One of the definite benefits of the merger is a-la-carte pricing, being able to pay for only those stations that you want.

However, I'm actually getting ready to cancel my Sirius subscription because with a 2nd child due in January, we need all the additional income we can hold onto.
