Would the Feds allow a merger?

...after the satcaster cut its year-end subscriber forecast by 200,000 to 6.1 million.

I was probably one of the 200,000. My car came with the Sirius radio and a free year's service. Never used it. Despite repeated phone calls, emails and letters from them, I won't be renewing

If he were smart, he would have sold the stock the second he got it. This chart tracking the stock for the last six months speaks volumes.

See ya Howie.

I guess we'll see him soon, shuffling the streets, mumbling profanity and exposing himself to passersby.

In other words, the only change is he'll be outside.

Stern and Karmazin will raid the company for whatever money it has left before chapter 11, and leave shareholders holding the bag.

After all Stern's pontificating that all the world would follow him to satellite radio. IMHO his demographics would never spend the money for satellite radio.

The only reason they talk merger is to keep the stock up while they sell all their insider shares.

Why would anyone spend money to listen to radio?

This could be Sirius, but not Hughes.

We've been over this in detail. People who live in rural areas or travel a lot find satellite invaluable.

Sounds like the Quadrasonic versus 8-Track battle from the 1970s. Not quite the same, as they were 2 different technologies, but you know what I mean. Okay, I'm wrong, but I'm going to hit "Post" anyway.

Yeah, he's down to his last 150 million. What a drag!

Sirius is losing ground to XM in the race to have new car manufacturers insert its receivers in new cars.

Ultimately, sustained business must originate from receivers in new cars, as it is passive. If new cars came with no radios at all, and you had to go aftermarket to install one, only a minority of people might go out and get radio's installed.

Right now, Sirius = Stern, and I'll bet a lot of new car makers don't want baggage like that.

I like Sirius. Good selection but it didn't take long to notice they looped their music way too often.

All they had to do was change up their selection way more often on my favorite channels and I'd still be there.
