I'm not trying to argue that Satellite Radio isn't currently the best broadcast outlet for getting new and/or good music, but I would go from considering getting it eventually as an outside posibility, to having zero desire to use it if it added commercials.
Most importantly to my original point, when hundreds of thousands of people bought XM or Sirius, they didn't play commercials. If they add them, that's the kind of BS that makes me stop buying a product or service.

I'm sure your MP3 CD's get great local and out of market live sports, talk, traffic, and news.
