Howard can get his sirius unit and flush it down the toilet and then go fornicate with his mother.

what’s up with the monopoly boogeyman posts? Anyone who has taken ECON 101 knows monopolies are bad? Maybe you should have stayed for the entire class, buddy. UNREGULATED Monopolies are bad. If you think the FCC would approve the merger (which they’d have to) without placing some significant constraints on the service you’re nuts.

As for other concerns that content, service, overall quality would go down, I have this to say:

Content? Music is music, they have to play popular crap or no one will buy subs. And the talent is all under contract.

Service? It sucks so bad right now, anything would be an improvement

Quality? These plug and play radios are pieces of shit and you all know it. There’s no way this isn’t a win-win.

I think many kind hearted Stern fans would be into O and A if they just opened their minds to something else. Howard did not invent everything. O and A are honest and might I say, fancy gentlemen. One needs to listen to them to get the Truth. Anyone who says they copy Howard need to get a new mantra. The Virus is spreading, the Pests shall inherit the Earth, and Jim Norton has AIDS. What could be better? —- Also, F Jackie.

“Its funny all the O and A fans yell how Howard is over. Xm are giving O and A away for free, that means they hold no value to Xm. You people will pay why give away for free. They are garbage, and they can’t even hold a number spot in the morning in New York where Stern held for 20 years. They were on Sterns show 15 years ago saying what big fans they were and doing Jackie impressions. They are rip off artists. They have no act but Stern, wether they are doing it or talking about him.”

Response … Grrrrrr

#1 , there is something called advertising dollars jackass , people will pay more money to advertise on a show that reaches a bigger audience. A prime example is comericals durring the superbowl and the ridiculous prices people pay for a comercial spot that reaches a massive audience. So in the end XM gets a cut of those advertising dollars, so its not exaclty giving them away for free is it if you tend to make more money out of it in the end.

#2 – the free FM show and XM show are 2 totally different shows pretty much.

#3 – Your Right , Stern was good 15 years ago and im sure you can find audio from O & A to support that , but the fact is he hasn’t done a half decent radio show since janet jackson showed her tits at the superbowl half time. Boooo hooo hooo the FCC won’t let me say anything Booo Hooo Hoo im gonna go to the little doggy company because they are going to pay me way more money to speak to less than 1/5th my audience & then claim i was the first to go to Satallite cause i evented everything.

#4 – O&A fans love Jackie the jokeman & i Personally though he was awsome on the show. it’s just Too bad Howard didn’t or else im sure he would still be on the show.

Grrrrrrrrrrr

You guys are hillarious…
I had a great time reading these comments, even though I gagged at some of the heinous grammatical errors. Anyway, its funny to see how many people write about XM’s great chances of achieving free cash flow by the 4th quarter ‘06. They have openly claimed that they are driving to achieve free cash flow sometime in ‘07. Sirius, however, has stated that they expect to reach free cash flow in the 4th quarter ‘06. (Not in 5 years as some moron posted) Anyway… again… I enjoyed all of the hillarious comments.

-Oh, and its outlandish to claim that a merger would create a monopoly. The figure I read was 6.8%- that is… the created company would represent 6.8% of the market share of audio entertainment. People who blindly shriek rape when they hear talks about this merger are ignoring the fact that if the end product of a Siri/XM merger is not great, consumers will turn to terrestrial radio, MP3 players, or the newly created podcasts.

-Denver-based analyst Kit Spring of Stifel Nicolaus & Co. gives the merger a 75% chance of occuring within the next 18 months. He claims that “A successful merger could create $7 billion of shareholder value.” I tend to trust scholars who have graduated from prestigous universities and have subsequently spent their entire lives professionaly combing through economic minutia to formulate opinions over random internet bloggers who write phrases such as “a opion” when intending to write “an opinion.”

What a great waste of time this was! Thanks for delaying my homework!

It’s over Johnny. Look at the stock price. XM moving up, Sirius flat. XM scores a coup with free FM. Sirus gives Howard more days off. Howard is like Lex Luthor in Superman, relegated to a pane of glass in outerspace. It’s time for Howard to write a book again so he can get back on Late Night TV… at least the Carson Daley show.

My suggestion for a title would be “My Life with Robin…as a whole…I Quiver at the thought”

I can go borrow alot of money, and say that I have alot of money. The bottom line is that XM is going to turn the 4th quarter, cash positive. That means in the BLACK baby!

Sirius will not hit the black numbers for at least 5 more years. During that time they will be paying $500,000,000 for a guy that works 118 days a year. Use your fingers and count. It won’t take long to figure out that the money just isn’t going to be there. And when you look at what XM has as far as radios and new things in the pipeline, there is no comparison. Do I want to walk around with my XM at a ballgame and listen to it, or record it at home so I can take it to work with me?

Sirius is pushing junk for equipment that was out dated and at least 18 months behind anything that XM has. And that is their cutting edge. Sounds kind of dull to me.

It’s not hard to see a company that is clutching at straws to keep investors interested. Sirius has old Techonology – an Old Stern how is no longer funny – and a bunch of small minded listeners.
XM clearly is the leader in the industry – They are smart with the Talent the get and is just a better prduct. Love Live XM and long live Stern crying himself to sleep every night knowing he really is a washed up hack!
Whoo whooo i invented Air Robbin!

“This last quarter it was Xm 200,000 something and Sirius 400,000 something. So say what you want if you like Stern or not. The bottom line is something has turned Sirius around in the past year to make them the number one selling and soon to pass XM in subcribers.”

the only reason why sirius’ numbers may be rising is because they’re counting all the cars sitting on lots with activated radios …
