Just what I was afraid of, the merger means less channels for the same price, not more. If this goes through I'll be hooking up my Zune to my car stereo and ditching XM-Sirius or whatever they call it. I just can't justify paying any more for radio when I already have a great portable media player.
If the price goes up or they cut ANY channels, I'll go out and buy an IPOD. If they find a need to offer less and charge more, I can't see this business model working for them. I can only speak for XM, but does anyone else notice the commercials on the talk stations sound like someone is reading off a spam inbox? Good Luck!
Look, I really like my Sirius S50... but if things go down the way I think they will (content quality slips, prices increase, etc), I might as well subscribe and get the Zune-pass (or whatever it is called) and put my Zune in my car. Same price per month and I can listen to whatever I want, whenever I want.

What a shame.

Just say no to this merger.
