XM is posting anothe rloss even though revenues have doubled. So they have control over their profitability-need to cut costs. NOT by signing that worthless airbag Oprah.
Quote, I agree about Stern and Oprah. They are far toooo costly to be supported by subsription only. Yet another reason why I think the business model is a crappy one.

I just don't see it. I'm sticking witht he piddly amount of SIRI stock I have, but from the looks of it, HD is the way to go. Yes they have ads, but so what? You just flip to another station like you do now with regular radio.
