I'm a little uneasy about if this will or won't happen.. but my money is on that it won't... there is no compelling reason, as if they really need one, for these two to merge.
Neither Sirius or XM making any money is pretty compelling. They can't lose money forever. The gov't is the only entity that can run at a deficit in perpetuity.

 ...perhaps Sirius can file bankruptcy and end the Howard Stern contract they signed like buffoons and stop playing corporate Russian Roulette. Maybe charge more for the sports subscriptions to cover the cost of them.. you know they aren't charging what they need to in order to support the sheister money they are paying the leagues for them.

There are ways to run their systems smarter.. oh, and to cover a popular sentiment here.. let's make sure no CEO is making a multi million dollar salary either.

Then they could look for buyers.. (get ready to flame..) they could look to companies like comcast to buy one of them out.. value added service to the consumer on the cable network and then sell the service outside the home in the cars as a bundle. Would/could be a smart move..

However, since much of the content between the two of them is the same, yes.. I agree.. there really doesn't need to be two of them.
