at Apr 16, 2008 11:01 AM No merger... Or merge the businesses but force XM to surrender its bandwidth in an auction. The thing is, they don't need it, they just want to hold it to block competition, which is why they were forbidden to merge in the first place. Would they still want to merge if another company could get into the satellite radio business? If we were going to offer a monopoly on satellite radio to a company we could have gotten a lot more money for the license.
at Mar 9, 2008 08:08 PM Merge or no Merge Make a decision, yes or no. Then an appropriate course can be set. Maybe some sort of appeal or the companies can just move forward separately. I cant figure out why SIRI stock is so low when they consistently outperform expectations.
at Mar 8, 2008 02:25 PM his pocket / my pocket If the merger puts "half a billion dollars into (Howard Stern's) pocket", it will also be putting some into mine. I don't pretend to know what Howard's stock options/portfolio situation is, but I do know that when the merger happens it will benefit everyone involved with sat. radio. The only one's hurt by this merger will be sat. radio's competition (terrestrial radio, ipod, downloadable entertainment, etc.) The merger will benefit consumers and hurt competition, period.
at Mar 7, 2008 02:49 PM Corruption Everyone knows that to oppose this merger each politician that does is smoking some NAB. When your justifications are just simple lies, enough is enough. Remember the corruption and who was "bought" and vote them out. Kohl, Green, etc.
at Mar 6, 2008 10:28 PM Approve The Merger Already Howard Stern is a minor part of all the entertainment talent that is available on Sirius. Anyone with more than a double digit IQ understands that. This merger is being held up simply because boring am/fm knows satellite will continue to offer even more superior programming choices to the public if it is allowed. They simply can't compete. Period.
at Mar 6, 2008 08:38 PM Merger Contracts to france... 14 months for a fricking radio merger... bush screwing up america (small a now) for seven years. The country is going to hell in a handbasket. DOJ/FCC = Useless.
at Mar 6, 2008 12:25 PM so ? Why would Howard have an effect on this decision by congress? If Howard gets more rich off the deal then great. Congress was not that concerned when the approved the Exxon Mobil merger and look how rich those guys got and continue to get.
at Mar 6, 2008 08:35 AM Sirius Merger Something I have not seen mentioned it the role Howard Stern plays in the opposition to the Sirius merger. While he is very popular with his fans....he is also hugely hated. With the stock that Howard owns, the merger wold probably put a half a billion dollars into his pocket.
