actually, the tower is in steelville, mo..so, it's range is pretty good. i can hear it past the wentsville exit on i-70 driving back to columbia, and all the way down to farmington (about 70 miles south of st. louy); my hometown.
it's an impressive station, and it's been around for a few years now.
i think the fcc will have to take control of it at some point in some way. it will probably be regulated like cable is. you can get away with a bit more since it's a subscription based model, but they won't let it get out of control.
satalite is a cool technology. it's just not the radio killer some think. especially with digital radio taking off, finally.
what's really cool is the new TCP/IP based audio studios. boards are now cat 6 instead of bulky 'audio' cable. everything is handled over a gigabit network; much like voip.
i've gotten to play with some of the new equipment for an upcoming studio build. not as stable as good old audio cabling, but neat all the same.
