XM and Sirius Merger?

Posted by samzenpus on from the one-satellite-is-enough dept.

chipset writes "Well, it seems Sirius and XM are in talks again. This story from FoxNews indicates they are in merger discussions and want to expand their reach into all communications from space. This includes Cell, Music, and TV. I would love to see something like this take place. Give DirecTV and DishNetwork a little competition."

    I flipped past Fox News just a few minutes ago and they reported that the president of XM had no idea where this story came from.

    Not surprised. I don't know about you all, but other people there like Bill O'Reilly come off as childish and overly conservative, and when Fox reports a story, it really does seem (again) conservative and sensationalized. They like to take press releases and Presidential speeches as truth, dismissing the other side of the story or showing it in a "bad" light. I'd rather see Tucker Carlson's newbie rants on Crossfire, and wait eagerly for the day when CNN apologizes for Jon Stewart's rant and puts Carlson back.

    If only you were a reg'd user; you'd be on my Friends list this second.

    Side note: Slashdot told me to Slow Down, Cowboy! It's cool, and helps prevet a Slashdot slashdotting I guess.

    But what does Sirius / XM have to do with the now defunc Digital? I think /. has some young people sorting articles now.
