Re: [Swprograms] XM and Sirius to merge?

["Richard Cuff" <rdcuff@xxxxxxxxx>]

There was a more detailed WSJ article I spotted on Saturday.

It was less rosy regarding the possibility of a merger:

"Mr. Martin's support for a deal would be critical to its success. The
political climate at the Republican-controlled commission has been
more strained than usual since Democrats took control of Congress, and
it isn't clear that the five-member commission's two Democrats could
be persuaded to support a further consolidation of the market, given
their staunch opposition to relaxing media-ownership rules."
