    Well, it'll be nice not to have to choose between the two I suppose. I wonder how it will affect pricing.

    From what I read on the Sirius website all exsisting radios will continue to work, and will recieve all of the new programming. There will be new options available in the fall. As for the price of course they aren't saying much.

    XM used to run advertisements "promising" there would be no change in the channel lineup during the merger with Sirius. They claimed we'd keep all the channels we've got, with their existing programming.

    Yet, they stopped playing those commercials. I wonder if their "promise" changed? As long as I get to keep Rollye James, Glenn Beck and the Fungus 53 punk music station, I'll live, lol ;)
