They... Won?
Inside Radio reports that Clear Channel won a settlement to have advertising air on the content channels they supply to XM Satellite.
Considering the satellite broadcaster's move to commercial-free programming in order to compete with Sirius, I doubt they are very happy with this turn of events.
If I was going to fight about something to improve the state of broadcasting it certainly wouldn't be the war to win the right to air crap no one wants to hear anyway. On the other hand, this could all be a deviously brilliant move on Clear Channel's part to make their radio properties more competitive with Satellite radio -- perhaps their evil plan is to make XM sound just as crappy as their ad-filled terrestrial stations!
They've helped to kill traditional radio, this may be their chance to Zombify Satellite.
