What did you hear? Last I knew, there were some ridiculous stipulations they had to meet, like the minority BS. http://www.lvrj.com/opinion/25610424.html

I'm turning on Howard now to hear the latest.

5 member board. 3 republicans, 2 democrats. Partisan bickering of course like anything else. The vote right now is 2-2 with one repub left. She is expected to vote for it soon. And yes, the recent dem vote against was because he wanted 25% of channels allocated for minority run and public service programming. That is a ridiculous percentage to want. The companies had agreed on 8% which IMO is more than fine to "require" to be one of those two uses.

See, republicans are good for something!

The big radio companies really went hard to buy off Congreemen and assure this never gets done right.

Sirius is definitely the superior product, with or without Howie... but I guess that debate will be moot sooner than later.

To secure FCC approval of their merger, Sirius (SIRI, Trade ) and XM (XMSR, Trade ) have agreed to a three-year price freeze for consumers, the creation of smaller packages at lower prices, a la carte radio programming, to let any manufacturer make satellite-radio equipment and set aside up to 8% of their channels for minority-owned stations and noncommercial use.

Under one offer the companies announced last July, subscribers would be able to choose 50 channels for $6.99 -- a 46 % decrease from the current standard subscription rate of $12.95. Customers could then add more channels for a minimum of 25 cents each.
Not too bad

Depends on the channels and the talent - on some Sirius is better, on some, XM wins. (We have XM in my wife's car and I have Sirius in my car so I get to hear both.) If they wanted to hire me to consult, I could tell them exactly what and who to keep, and who would be the casualties in the merger

a la carte will be nice.. but this part is what jumped out at me..

That has always been the downside. Their radios are pretty crappy. I have a bricked S50 and even the stilleto had a lot of faults. It will be nice to see some decent products come out.
