XM and Sirius Merger!

Neither.
And at some future point the technologies will merge and lower the hardware costs.

Maybe both since BOTH companies are currently losing money

A merger will reduce the costs of competing against each other and focus more on competing against terrestrial radio.

It will allow both companies to focus on a single technology, a standard electronic platform to recieve and decode and reduce technological costs.

They will, in all probability, merge programming on that future structure to eliminate redundancy. i.e. Fox News, CNN, Weather Channel etc. Duplicate broadcasting channels...

Someone else mentioned "A La Carte" type structure.

Most likely they will offer a base structure and pay-per extras like Stern, etc.

In either case if you own a few shares you will have a better than average chance of making a good run with a merger.

SiruM

I thought of that one this morning

I'm guessing they'll stick with the XM moniker or blend it as a slogan.

XM is Sirius Radio or some such thing...

I read somewhere that we'll be able to choose our stations "ala carte" style, if we want. Picking and choosing only the ones we want.

That would leave me getting two stations.
Cool, no more accidental rap polluting my speakers for even the quickest change time.

The only thing i am wondering about is the RIAA raising the per song fee for digital and satelite recently. How much is that going to affect the satelite companies and their rates?
