  2. I bet this means that satellite radio will now have ala cart options like cable. A basic subscription with base channels and packages that can be added on like baseball football, etc. Also an add on for the shock jocks like opie and anthony and howard stone. It will be alot like cable tv now.

    I am an XM subscriber and am waiting to see what happens.

  4. Oh good, they're merging... Now, when they jack up the fee to $35 per month and blanket the programming with commercials, we'll see how thrilled you remain...

  5. Looks like a move of desperation to me. The market never was large enough to support two providers. And it's going to get tighter as the novelty wears off.
