Bloomberg is reporting that the long delayed Sirius-XM merger has finally been approved. As a subscriber to Sirius, I can only describe the news as excellent. Champ also is a Sirius guy, as both of us are fans of Howard Stern - the King of All Media and greatest radio talent of all time. The merger means an already strong product becomes better.
Even if you find Howard repugnant, if you are a sports fan that spends ANY time in your car, you might want to think about signing up. You get access to every NFL game (you can pick which team's announcers you want to listen to), more college sports than you can shake a stick at, the NBA, NASCAR (not sure who listens to NASCAR on a radio, but whatever) and now, with the addition of XM, you get Major League Baseball. Just think, for those out of towners, who doesn't want to be able to listen to Suzyn Waldman any time they want..............uh, on second thought.......

Awesome news. I have Sirius.
Any news on what they going to do with the radios? Hopefully not another couple of hundreds to buy yet another radio.

it's my understanding that the signal will work on both existing sirius and XM radios. I guess they still have a lot of details to work out in terms of programming, but the cool news is that we'll have access to just about every sporting event known to man.
I like the idea, just as long as there is that little clause that they can not skyrocket the prices.

Most of what I know about it comes from Stern, so it's obviously slanted, but they are saying prices will remain the same....of course my cable bill goes up every year, so I agree with you, we'll see.
and of course you guys will all shut off your XM-Sirius radios every weekday from 3-6 p.m. starting *let me pick a random date here*...ummmm....April 7, that sounds about right.
that's a given, on the block is back ba-by.
