Yeah, if Sirius hadn't signed on Stern they might not need to merge with XM to stay afloat LOL.
Sounds like the government is going to give them a hard time on merging though. Not sure why, since it's not like satellite has serious market penetration. Lack of competition in something that barely affects 2 percent of the population is hardly a big concern -
I'm happy about the merger but it will take awhile until they get the wrinkles out to do complete merge. I can't wait to finally just have one radio in my ride. I got both because cant stand Stern ......gotta have Opie and Anthony + Lil' Jimmie !!!

I have them both actually, back in the day when this satellite thing all started I would of said XM by far. Sirius has came a long way and actually offers better service then XM now. XM has just taken a turn for the worst, they don't have the lineup that Sirius offers, And let me tell you if XM makes a mistake on your bill it takes forever to get thing strait.
Let me explain:
I paid for a full year, 3 month later they billed me for 3 months (billed my debt and told them take my card number off now). I called them and they said we are sorry all fixed. Next month I get a bill in the mail. I call them they say sorry its all fixed now. Next month I get a bill for 2 months, call them they say all fixed. I am getting a little aggravated at this point. I call them they say all fixed. The next month I get a bill for 3 months, I am like what is going on here. call them they say sorry all fixed. Well a week later I am driving down the road shut the truck off and go inside the TA, come back out and NO XM. so I call them and say whats going on here? they said you didn't pay your bill, I'm like look I have called you every month about this and I PAID FOR A FULL YEAR. well blah blah blah I end up getting "it will be back on in a few hours". Next morning no XM well to make a long story short from this point it took me 4 day at least 4-5 hours on the phone a day (NO JOKE) and finally I got it back on.
My friend had a similar billing issue but was not as bad.
XM has went down the tube. to bad I really like channel 48 Squizz but even though I still have service I listen to Sirius cause they have a better lineup
Ah heck I didn't know they merged, I sure XM doesnt drag both of them down. -
they say late 2007 early 2008 merge will be complete. i bet the radio prices jump back up since they are no longer competing with each other.....

I still dont think the govt will allow the merger.
If the merger fails, it is my belief that sirius will fail due to them THROWING $$$ that they dont have getting all the sports, and the $500 million to stern who works 100 days a year....

I was a XM fan. But i really do miss Nascar, XM has Trucking BOZO which i will really miss. I'm lost to decide which one i want this year. Maybe I'll get BOTH till they join forces mmmmm now thats a great idea
