Re: [Swprograms] XM and Sirius to merge?

["Richard Cuff" <rdcuff@xxxxxxxxx>]

This looks legit.  There are a bunch of other reports out there,
including Business Week magazine, that corroborate this.

General feeling is that it will indeed pass FCC muster on antitrust concerns.

Check here:  http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/content/feb2007/db20070216_470333.htm?chan=top+news_top+news+index_businessweek+exclusives

A Google News search comes up with several similar articles.

The Wall Street Journal said this much on Saturday:

"XM Satellite Radio rose 1, or 7.7%, to 13.98, and Sirius Satellite
Radio gained one cent, or 2.8%, to 3.70, both on Nasdaq. Bear Stearns
said a proposed merger of the satellite broadcasters could likely pass
the regulatory hurdles, which would probably push them to attempt such
a move."
