"expects that the existing radios will be able to...",
"will not be interrupted by the merger",
"In the future...",
and most importantly:
"Merger Approval
Process"
Where I live, there is only one radio station and these roads eat cd's for lunch!!! I sure hope they do not interupt service during the process.
I really enjoy the xm radio. In fact, I have four of them - one in each car! We have to use the larger, Marine type antenna to get the XM signal, while Sirius works with their small antennas here.
Even in the unlikely event that the FCC grants approval, there will still be a merger process. The two companies will need to hash out and come to agreement on all other terms of the deal. Regardless, I am sure it means another raise for Howard Stern - like he needs the money!!!
Seriously, I hope the merger goes through so we have even more programming to choose from, but I am not going to hold my breath.
The Maxim channel and the comedy channels on sirius are great and I wish i had access to them.
