Re: OT: Sirius/XM to merge
I'm sorry but once I had Sirius I never listen to AM/FM. There is just too many good stations on Sirius I will never go back. I'm willing to pay the $$$ for a good selection and not have to deal with all the commercials on AM/FM.
I look forward to even more selections...even if it comes at a little more $.M&T Bank Stadium - Section 513

Re: OT: Sirius/XM to merge
I fell in love with Sirius and cannot stand terrestrial radio anymore. My car is in the shop right now and I have to make due without Sirius for a week and it's killing me. The commercial free music drew me in and I became a huge Howard Stern fan after subscribing.
And Mista T - Sirius does have a DC/Baltimore traffic channel. XM has one station devoted to DC traffic and one devoted to Baltimore. They also have channels devoted to traffic on most major cities in the US (Boston, New York, Philadelphia, LA, etc.)
Everyone could see this merger coming from a mile away. Both companies were losing too much money for it not to happen.

Re: OT: Sirius/XM to merge
I would have to agree with those who love SATRAD. I got Sirius for Christmas and wasn't too sure if I would enjoy it, but like Losac, my car is getting worked on and I am stuck with regular radio. Sirius saved me on my families trip to NH with it's NYC traffic staion and the ability to have music even in deepest darkest New England was awesome. I will never go back to terrestrial and look forward to having MLB nad NFL on the same service.

Re: OT: Sirius/XM to merge
DC and Baltimore terrestrial radio sucks. Its unlistenable. If you can stand it and have the patience for it....God bless. I tried but after howard left I had to get my subscription and it took 9 month before I did it.
Look, No one is buying Sirius or XM for its Traffics or weather reports. Commercial free music, The NFL and Howard stern are the things that drew me in. Baseball is the one thing that XM has that I would really love to listen to and If the merger happens, and it should, I will be able to listen to Yankees as if I was back in NY. That's a big deal.WOW! I feel so fortunate that the Ravens did what they had to do to make this happen. Thank you. My Heart is with the Raven....My Heart is with Baltimore and its great fans. What can I say. Here We Go!!! --Ray Lewis
No, Thank you Ray... :ww:

Re: OT: Sirius/XM to merge
Might be a little off-topic, but I really like the commercial free music on 89.7 WTMD, broadcast from Towson University.

Re: OT: Sirius/XM to merge
Sirius from a financial standpoint is the better option as it has consistently outperformed XM, even well after Stern! They are now profitable while XM is not and probably wont become for a while if they keep hiring the likes of Oprah. They paid her 55 million to be on the radio basically an hr a week...WTF...I love my Sirius and will continue to own and buy more Sirius stock because I believe in the product....This is just the beginning...That thing they did for the Daytona 500, where they had a station dedicated to the pit crew for certain drivers shows some of the capabilities. Add in High Def radio coming soon and Sirius consistently having "more" state of the art equip...It is a no brainer for me....I did not even mention NFL network!:D

You may not like what T said, but he happens to be correct.

XM & Sirius: What A Merger Won't Fix
You may dig Satellite radio, but the #'s do not look good for its survival. At least not with it's current model.
And I'm still trying to figure out what Jesus freaks has to do with anything.

Re: OT: Sirius/XM to merge
yeah who in their right minds would pay for something that's free?
I do have a question, hopefully somebody can answer, You know Terrestial radio is free all you have to do is buy a radio.
I pay for sattelite radio so I can have commercial free music.
Why in the hell am i paying for cable/sattelite and there are still commercials???Last edited by Ravens0587; 02-24-2007 at 09:52 PM.
