Satellite radio broadcasters XM and Sirius won't put traditional radio out of business anytime soon—94 percent of Americans still tune in to broadcast radio at least once a week—but the two companies have doubled their subscribers in the past year and appear to be on a roll. Today, Rolling Stone Magazine's associate editor Bill Werde look at how the medium is evolving and why traditional radio will likely be thriving for years to come.

And, a live performance by the singer-songwriter Raul Midón. The New Mexico-born, New York-based Midón makes his recording debut with State of Mind, a collection of Midón originals that mixes soul, R&B, pop, folk, jazz and Latin. He'll perform live in the studio.
