Re: No brainer - merger should be allowed
Well I have XM and am frustrated by the addition of commercials on some channels. And the content of the commercials leaves a lot to be desired too.
However, the FCC has said that Sat TV and Cable TV compete in the same market place. It would only be logical that Sat radio would be viewed in the same way. With that said, not much in gov is logical. |

ClearChannel invested a significant chunk of money to help XM get off the ground in exchange for frequency to broadcast on.
If this goes through, that should go away. |
