Sirius XM's Bottom Line Could Get a Boost from "Best Of" Programming

The a la carte pricing will get me to buy in not only for my 4 Runner, but mainly for my home. I really just want commercial free radio and will add 2 or 3 premium music channels for just 25 cents each. I beleive this new pricing will bring in many new subscribers like me who will be willing to pay $10.00 or less per month to eliminate the junk that is forced on us when we turn on am or fm. All the people like me that have been waiting for better pricing and is now willing to buy the new radio's will definitely give the revenues a quick boost.Also, I would think that at least half would sign up for 1 year to get a free month and avoid the hassel of paying monthly.

Don't Believe Everything You Hear About Sirius

With the lower pricing coming at $6.00 a month, I am more interested in getting SiriusXm for my home. There has to be a large amount of people like me waiting for the new pricing to install it not only in the car but in their home, Also, all the negative news on car sales is deceiving. Just think of all the older gas hogs that may not have Sirius/Xm,that will be traded in for new gas efficient models that will most likely have it in the new model. The trend is to smaller more efficient cars with more gadgets. The al la carte pricing will finally allow me to enjoy Commercial Free radio of my choice in my home. Can't wait-good riddens NAB.

Sirius, XM Complete Merger; Investors Still Blue

I wonder how many people, like me, are just waiting for a la carte pricing and what sales they will have on their radios to get new subscribers. I do not have SIRIUSXM but am looking forward to getting it not only for my vehicle but actually want it more for my home. With better pricing I believe that home use will increase, especially with proper sales and all of the pricing set in place for the holiday shopping season. Can't wait to get this [ commercial free ] service for my home. I think that a la carte pricing is going to greatly incraese subscriptions for home use.

Sirius, XM and C3SR...Who?

I'm just hoping that Comm. Tate has not been bought and bribed for future considerations[a job] by the NAB and democrats.These are not concessions that the NAB, georgetown partners, jessie jackson and any other free -loaders are trying to get. Let's just call it like it is "EXTORTION". Extortion to get something for nothing, or Extortion for stalling the NAB, hoping that one or both will go out of business. One possible for the NAB. Improve your product and you wont have to worry [fear], competition from sat.rad. Put your money into your product instead of taking the easy road of buying politicians to protect your inferior product.

Sirius/XM Competition Benefits Consumers

Your article is exactly why Mr.Martin has to be investigated for intentionally stalling or killing this merger for the NAB. He is going way to far to protect terrestrial radio from competition, which everyone knows is by far a superior product. Mr. Martin is not only hurting the consumer but also our failing economy by trying to make two companies fail. Competition in any business always produces not only better products but also better pricing for the consumer. I could see Mr. Martin getting away with what he is doing if this were Russia or China, but this is the USA. What the FCC and some politicians are doing because of past donations and the fear of competition is disgusting.

Sirius's Short Story

I can see your scenerio happening short term.After short term investors that have been waiting to get even sell off, let's say around $3.30, that also will be the point where true longs will wait for good news. Also with the FCC approval out of the way,more investors should move in when the price levels out. All that will be needed for a rapid rise then or a short squeeze would be one bit of news like some type of partnership or business with someone like Apple or Google. Just like xm hooking up with Blackberry, I'm sure there are many companies that are waiting to see how the merger works out and would look at opportunities that sat radio could bring to there business.
