Sirius merger approved

[Illusion]

The US DOJ gave the green light for the Sirius/XM merger. The FCC is expected to give the final ok this summer. That's great news for us sports fans/bettors!!!

Gotta do it, Looker! We got Sirius when we got a new car and I absolutely LOVE IT!!!

Once you do satellite, you will NEVER go back.

Yeah, I was just waiting it out because of the split programming on the two. So now that they will be all together, I will look into it. Even though I feel the price will go up now.

[SBR Lou]

I actually think there'll be more lower priced packages to choose from, I know Stern talked about the idea of offering select programming, say Stern, sports, and a few music stations between the two for a really low price. Or if you want a huge variety of everything both offer, the prices would go up, but he did touch on there being different packages of content, hopefully that includes a great bargain somewhere.

Great news. I listen to my Sirius religiously every day: NFL radio, ESPN, Stern, music. Hopefully now the programming will essentially double, hopefully at the same low price.
