You forgot the gays. Another market Sirius "pays attention to".

And the Koreans.

Of course, they don't pay much attention to tiny little communites like MLB
fans or PGA fans...

Subjecting children to anything ''Disney'' is child abuse.

Underserved niches is where it's at. And golf? Is there any human
activity less-suited to radio?

Yep there are gay people in this country.

"Wow look at that drive!!".. I'm not seeing the PGA on radio being a
great piece of content except for marketing.

MLB doesn't matter to me or my friends really. The Northeast is mostly
Red Sox country and we're all Red Sox fans. You can get a Red Sox game
in just about any place in New England on FM or AM radio. Home and
Away games both use the WEEI Red Sox Radio guys too.

I think Tennis is on Par in boredom. Luckily Wimbledon is all that
Sirius covers as far as I know. I'd hate to have to dodge that on the
dial all year long.

I know; I've seen innumerable XMers as well as Siriots laugh it off.
But Golf has a huge, dedicated following. The place where I live has a
huge community of golfers, and a couple of people I had previously
suggested XM for showed now interest. I mentioned the PGA channel and
both turned around immediately. ---- yes.

The reality is that golfers tend to be avid about the sport and tend to
have a hell of a lot of money. And the channel is low bandwidth,
minimal cost. And it provides an outlet for promoting the receivers by
renting them at tournaments which I heard is working fairly well.

So giggle if you want to, but it may be a reasonable idea to carry
Golf. Where I live also thrives or horseracing, and I can tell you
there is a hell of a lot more interest in Golf than horseracing on the
radio.

Golf is not a sport. You don't even break a sweat.
