Sirius in Negotiations With Apple

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the howard-stern's-new-haunt dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Sirius Satellite Radio Chief Executive Mel Karmazin announced that his company is in talks with Apple about bringing satellite radio to the iPod. Karmazin met with Steve Jobs Monday and he says the technology is the easy part. The hard part is negotiating just how they will split the profit from equipment and monthly subscriptions." We've covered this before, but now it seems they are getting "more Sirius," or something.

    Greed over technology.

    I am a fan of Howard Stern but I really see Stern being a huge gamble on Sirius's part. Howard is really getting sick of broadcasting, and if Sirius doesn't tank before Howard gets on, I really cant see him finishing his 5 year contract. Even though I like Howard, I personally am going to be getting XM. Why? Because I think the company is better - I do not want to invest in a company that I think is going to tank.
