XM sees the light

Thank you XM for finally seeing the light.

Oh, I love my XM radio. The Major League Baseball games every day for six months are worth the price alone. And I can occasionally get into the ACC, Big Ten, Pac-10 games on the radio, probably the basketball more than the football.

But today XM announced a deal with the SEC.

Now there are a couple of things to be noted. Not all of the SEC schools can get out of Sirius contracts. One of those is LSU, but hey, you don't need a satellite to hear those games. But it's not all the schools. And some will come along in the next couple of years. Still, it's a great start.

Me, I'm fired up about being able to listen to the SEC basketball tournament on the way into the office this week. I'm fired up about being able to listen to SEC football on crisp, fall afternoons.
