ClearChannel Complains About XM, Sirius Radio

Gee, isn't it Clear Channel who's buying up all local stations, creating a monopoly with the blessings of Congress and the FCC ? Seems as though they can't buy satellite radio, so now they're going to try to do what any monoploy does when faced with competitors - legislate them out of business!

In the latest attempt by a big corporation with a failing business model to win by legislation and not in the marketplace, ClearChannel is whining to the FCC about XM Radio's recent foray into localized traffic and weather reports.
