Sirius XM Q3 Earnings Preview: Unknowns Abound

I'm going to give a really good example. Stern is big for SIRI. Brings a lot of subs who follow Stern. When Stern's contract is up what do you think he will do? Resign with SIRI? What for.
He can launch his own Stern show via an app and Website. He can charge $.99 a month or $1.99 a month. Consider how many millions listen to him, he can take them all with him to his independent show under his own management. No bosses, no SIRI. Just Stern production. The money is all his. That is the future now, my friend. And that's what everyone else will start doing.
Once they see someone like Stern do it, then the flood gates will open and everyone can take a shot on a small upfront cost. Like Blair Witch or Paranormal. There will be a virtual avalanche of content. (Virtual-no pun intended)
Get my point. The whole field of content will change. I use a kindle
reader, so I don't get newspapers and magazines any more. I get blogs off the internet and the kindle. Some are fee based. I buy at prices from $.49 to $1.99 subscription. I buy the independent content I want. People will go out and buy independent shows and personalities they want ala carte. They won't need SIRI. Also,once the talent and personalities realise they can put on their own shows thru apps and websites, why go to SIRI. The writing is on the wall.
It's over. We're going into a new era. That's just a fact.
