I mean I understand the business of radio and the choosing of formats as a result of working in radio and working with people that came to satellite radio from commercial radio.
I don't know what percentage buys iPods (and other mobile music devices from phones to other brands). I don't know how many buy an iPod as a trendy device - but I do see quite a few folk listening to them on the street and plugged into their cars. More than half the produced cars are now coming with iPod docks as standard so clearly there seems to be an interest and a demand for that.
My point was that the demise of a format on commercial radio cannot simply be pinpointed to "morons that like bland music" as "alternative folks finding other more alternative means since WHFS is not alternative enough for them".
