Sirius and XM to Merge

That's true, I guess. I mostly listen to jazz on the radio.

Since always. It's not arbitron independent shit where they send out booklets, but they've always had internal ratings monitoring, and Eric Logan has said numerous times that O&A are the highest rated channel on the platform, highest rated show on the platform, and currently then #1 reason new subscribers say they signed up.

Dole: I think he mean't to say if he wasn't a part of the company.

In the article they say they're still working out a name and where the headquarters will be, etc. RTFA.

I know a lot of people who have XM, and not one of them signed up for O&A.

Yo momma.

XM's playlists are garbage. I hear Sirius is better in that respect, but XM has O&A. O&A + better playlists? Sounds good to me. However, no competition doesn't sound so hot.

Never said "the vast majority of them sign up because of O&A", but more people when asked say they did for O&A than for any other reason.

Also, that's for like the last couple quarters, too, not before then.

Agreed.

Sirius has more repetitive playlists than FM stations. Some people like that. I do not. And if you think this merge won't hurt O&A, you're naive.

If they do screw up the O&A show or take it off, I guaruntee you're going to see a lot of subs disappear. Including mine, probably.

All Radio is Unlistenable.

It's all the same garbage wherever you go. Feel free to pay for it if you're feeling masochistic, but it's all the same shit.
