Re: Yay ...

I've got 3 XM subs right now. One in the office, one at home (portable unit) and a Pioneer AVIC D-3 in the truck.

It sill be interesting to see what happens if the merger is off. I too fear who would purchase the 2 independent companies if the merger is blocked.

If you fear the purchase of the companies then why not tell the truth , your jealousy of what Sirius has done with HOO HOO HOWIE makes you bitter towards the combining of the providers. After all if your provider is bought out you may lose much more then just some channels. You may lose all commercial free radio and may lose uncensored content.

As a sub who has sirius in my F-150 and XM in my Honda (for now) Sirius is a much better provider and I don't want that disappearing any time soon , so I back the merger so that we may have sirius and XM programming on one radio. With the combination of programming you keep most of the XM channels and most of the Sirius channels but move them to a unified system so you get better bang for the buck.

LOL.

Actually, I stopped listening to HOO HOO a while before he went to Sat Rad. If I heard Jessica Hann one more time, I was going to revert to my 1987 form

Now why would I, the user of a product be "jealous" of the alternate provider of that service? It makes no sense whatsoever. I don't own stock in either company, and quite frankly I don't care. If nothing changes as far as programming (as we've been promised) then I'll be a happy camper.

But corporate types aren't in the business of keeping promises to customers, they are in the business of making shareholders happy.

Ya gotta earn that suit.

Again, I just get such a chuckle out of being jealous of a media provider. Like I'm jealous of ABC because their "caveman" show does better than whatever is running on NBC, CBS, or Fox.

I do like Sirius' "Sirius shuffle" channel. They play it a lot in a bar I hang out in. I think it's better than XM's "The Mix" channel...

I do like the idea of 2 separate companies competing against each other. Competition drives innovation and keeps companies on their toes...

They compete against many media forms now man , cd's , internet radio in cars ! (yea newer cars are coming with 3g based network devices and pcs on board) the ipod , there is so much more then just Sirius and XM competing. They even compete with terrestrial radio as well.
