Sirius/XM Radio

I have a lifetime membership with up to 4 receivers. Let them live. Love it.
 
I plan to re-up in April when the boat goes in the water. Someone will buy them because it's a great product.
 
I got the same offer and decided not to opt for the extended rate plan.... I have 2 units > one in my Infiniti G35 that is permanent and the other that floats between the house and the motorhome. The boat is covered with Direct TV.
I go crazy listening to regular radio now with the frig'n commercials.....:smt013
 
I would think the stockholders would want to sell to protect equity.
 
I just bought 500 more shares at roughly a nickle a piece. What have I got to lose? $25 +/- and a $9.99 commission? YIPPEEEE! I'm gonna be RICH!

I am a subscriber and a shareholder. Call me deluded, but I do believe in the product.
 
I just recently found Pandora and I really like it as well. Yet another useful thing that the Iphone can give me.
 
Guess my $600 Sirius WX receiver for my Raymarine may be useless soon...
What about all the boaters that use this service? I could give a sh** about the radio- I need the weather radar!
 
They will still be in business and offer the same XM weather =which is great- and someone will end up taking them over, so for us users it should stay the same..for the stockholders, who knows if there will be any return on their investments.
 
We've got XM weather as well. I would hate to lose it as it has saved a lot of guessing when we're on the boat.
 
I doubled my money today. But I think I'll stay greedy and ride it out for a while. I'm a real risktaker with my $40 bucks!!!!

I bought a boat load of this stuff thinking the product was a long term winner. But the other day I saw my daughter sitting on the back of the boat with her ipod plugged into her ears and it struck me that kids today don't listen to the radio.

I'm waiting for 25 cents per share and then I'm dumping it.
 
An artist gets royalties every time a song is played on the radio. That was always my understanding.

That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if deals negotiated with satellite radio and existing terrestrial radio deals are not the same; perhaps crappier for satellite. ASCAP may have negotiated HMO-like deals with terrestrial radio (flat fee for a group of, say, 1000 songs) while, as Frank stated, Sirius pays a fee per song. I once wrote a letter of complaint to Sirius b/c they, in my opinion, were playing way too many songs from two or three artists on one of their channels. At the time (3 years ago) I was thinking that maybe they didn't have a very large catalog at their disposal, maybe b/c of the cost.
