i know xm is skint but im certain the buddies would be a hit in the UK if they promoted over here.i saw an ad for sirius in the NME cause they have all the bbc digital stations on-board.

they arent allowed in the UK. Just like they had to get FCC aproval and from the Canadians. They dont promote there cause there radios wouldnt work there and arent allowed to, yet, so they wouldnt spend the money. I dont get why sirius would, regardless of stations, cause they cant broadcast there

I see an equal amount of XM and Sirius ads here in Toronto.  Lately, I've been seeing a LOT of 'em.  Maybe it was a "Dads & Grads" thing.
