Muzak should fine in the long-run, but I wouldn't invest my money in the service. Satellite Radio is a great idea, but there is no way I am going to pay subscription fees when I can listen to over-the-air AM/FM and HD radio at no charge.
Do you have cable or satellite TV?

Why pay for cable or satellite when you can get free OTA channels at no charge?

At the dawn of cable TV there were holdouts that said they would never pay for TV wired to their house. Most eventually did.

I agree with you that satellite radio has certainly lost its value lately and will get even worse as they populate the music stations with advertising, but there is a certain segment that will continue to pay, even with ads. The real question is will the retain enough subscribers and balance out with advertising dollars and make a profit.
