« on: Feb 11, 2009 at 14:49 »

I'm sure somebody will buy 'em out, but interesting to hear nonetheless.

They are offer lifetime subs, with the deal that if they are bought out, they are null and void. Why anyone would do that is beyond me. Having said that, I love my XM.

I love mine too. In my market there is no current terrestrial pop, rock, or alternative station so pretty much all I listen to is XM. Plus I love me the NHL and enjoy their coverage.

Bankruptcy is on hold for now, they got a loan. I wonder how much longer they have left on the Stern deal, that has to be killing them.

Liberty Media just invested $530M in Sirius; they swim for now. Some serious debt and management issues remain, however, and with the auto industry on the skids the future is anything but assured.
