Five Key Quotes from Sirius on Satellite Radio and Automakers

Srius_Employee

Sorry for your bankruptcy this week, don't really know why warning us here helps, but whatever it takes, man....... Sirius filed its 10Q this morning with the SEC as Mel had said. I did notice that they had put in for a 5 day extension for submission earlier with the SEC, for merger valuation and acquisition costs, but it seems they didn't need it. I would of thought working in the mail room, you would have had access to that information. As far as the FCC license valuation, maybe you could ask your supervisor how they did that.......

Five Key Quotes from Sirius on Satellite Radio and Automakers

All you "shareholders" who think that Michael represents you well, be very careful. He made a very big error in his claim that, ... In a Wall Street Journal Interview, Mr. Karmazin said he wanted to take this company private at these levels.... He also kept saying that the company and management needs to be held accountable because after all, shareholders are accountable..... what does that mean???

Mel Karmazin did not say he would like to take the company private at these levels. He said he would like to take the company private, but at these levels that would be impossible. He would rather get the company in a situation where it was operating at FCF positive and the debt issues were resolved. Then he felt that the company would be attractive on the Market to take it private and get existing shareholders a value for their investment. I must say that I am very surprised at Michael's blunder on a Nationally Syndicated News Org. I wonder why this network gave Michael air time to voice his decent against the company. NAB maybe???

It is a great idea but free shouldn't be free. What I mean is give 60 days with a 6 month subscription for a total of 8 months......

Radio Is Doomed - Tear Down the Broadcast Towers

Just to add a little more. Adelstein is quoting Marky's, Democratic Rep. from MA, 6 year freeze on pricing and 25 % Spectrum set aside. Along with a few other details not yet revealed, in addition to what is already in circulation.

Radio Is Doomed - Tear Down the Broadcast Towers

oregonduck.....a little brief on the details, and as we all know the devil is definitely in the details Adelstein is spouting out for the "Yes" vote. Might as well take my first born too! Granted it sets a limit for the deal to get done and puts tremendous pressure on Tate to do the right thing in aligning herself with her Republican Members, but short of that, Adelstein's concessions should be a deal breaker for me as an investor.

Georgetown Partners' Latest Radio Proposal Raises Many Questions

gjelosh197.....If you interpreted Tyler as being bullish on these stocks for 2 years, and that was your reason for investing in them, whose the imbecile? Tyler or you....MMMMM let me see...YOU!!!!

Georgetown Partners' Latest Radio Proposal Raises Many Questions

Tyler, I appreciate your reporting on this sector and the FCC happenings in particular. Your pointing out how Davenport is playing the FCC for a very profitable potential spectrum grab, while using his minority status and the FCC's politically correct "affirmative action" concession, is a great point. Unfortunately though rather than discuss this possibility and the veiled intentions of Davenport, and silence of the NAB, we hear more meaningless blaming for poor investment decisions and more Blah, Blah, Blah, from VicDav. Keep up the good work and stay strong against these meaningless attacks.

Gino....thank you for your comments. I hope our investment in Sirius is well placed and gives us a return x 3 for what we are being put through with the FCC delays. The evolution of technology, with Sirius not being the only stop along the way, is a statement that still dismisses the potential NOW for Satellite Radio. As much as you believe Internet Radio will be the Dominant force very, very, soon, you still haven't answered my questions about how, at what cost, who is subsidizing the radios, what OEM's are factory installing these devices, under what company will they be launched, etc. Your writing an article which right now is Science Fiction. Although I know full well that Science Fiction "Can" become fact, until you or someone can come up with the answers to the questions....your living in the land of "What If"

Plowboy....Please, before you even bother, spare me your lament that you are a satellite radio subscriber or investor. I would not want you in my foxhole, given the posts I've read from you defending Sirius.

The Future of Radio Is Online

Plowboy......I didn't think anyone was giving Gino shit. Obviously in his comments, neither did he. It's a debate about internet radio. More importantly it's an article that is tell readers that Satellite Radio is not going to be the top gun in the auto media market within five years. Conveniently this comes when satellite is being beaten up by NAB. So if you think that this article, and the author is doing satellite radio any favors by saying terrestrial radio is going to be dead and Internet Radio with be "Top Gun" your being foolish. This article is a ridiculous introduction of a technology, that the author himself admits, has no viable business plan. Excuse me, but Satellite Radio is soon to be "King of the Road" regardless of all this bullshit talk about Internet Radio. It doesn't exist in autos as a viable technology currently: PERIOD. I am currently heavily invested in SIRIUS and will defend this Company to anyone. It's my Company. It exists now. It provides consumers with a tremendous option to Terrestrial Radio. So EXCUSE MEEEE!!!!! For giving the author a F--cking Hard Time. Show me the BEEF or Shut the fup!

The Future of Radio Is Online

Bruce B......every median has a niche, local broadcasting is fine with certain demographics in certain areas of the country, where local radio exists. This is a big country geographically and satellite gets there where folks are starving for content. What your talking about is more of that home town "folksy feeling" that is lost on the national platform. So what. It's a choice. Most people know where the Hardware Store is and Know that there's a special going on at Pop's because of all the litter in their mail box. Local advertisers will keep your local radio station alive. This is an apples and oranges discussion.
