I am almost spitting tacks after reading this.

For decades J.C. Whitney, Radio Shack and other "electronic" vendors have sold FM modulators. Now all of a sudden when satellite radio is starting to pull listeners away from terrestrial broadcasting, does anyone, let alone National Public Radio, actually care about it?!?

Terrestrial broadcasting is doomed to become the AM radio of this generation. It only took them ten years to organize their beg-a-thons to run at the same time, so that listeners could not switch from one public radio station to another to avoid the pleading. If they had not abused my address and other contact info after a contribution, I might want to help them.

So the funding from Joan B. Kroc, is going to try and smite the FM modulators and satellite radio, instead of expanding a news department or two.

Where can I file a lawsuit saying that the NPR broadcasters are interfering with my Sirius Xact Stream/Jockey radio?
