I read the same thing. That & their director stepped down. XM & Sirius are both loosing big money daily. I guess paying for radio is not as popular as they'd like you to believe.

Guess I made a wise choice to change from annual to monthly billing :)

xm radio would be alot better if you could choose which stations you wanted to recieve and pay for those ones instead of paying for all the ones you dont listen to

I'm so amused that they are reporting losses even after bringing Howard Stern over. I still think it was absolutely absurd to be paying so much money to have him exclusively...and now look where it's put them financially, hehe.

Before Howard came on board, Sirius was in financial dire straits. Howard was supposed to save their collective asses. So giving him a $700 mill. deal was their last ditch attempt at resurecting their company. It doesnt look like its working though...

I loved Howard, but I think he's pretty much jumped the shark career-wise.
