McGwire deliberately passed on a chance to repeat the announcement in front of the post-game news cameras, thereby missing a chance to get his message blanket coverage on the news and sports channels.

Satellite radio can blanket the country with its signals, so you'll never drive out of range of your favorite station; zones that a satellite can't reach, such as areas with tall buildings, will be taken care of by ground-based relay stations.
