You can read that original post here. In that post I zeroed in on my least favorite item of the original merger announcement: a la carte channels. I argued that allowing consumers to choose a small number of channels on a sliding price scale would take satellite radio from innovation and freedom and turn it into the new cable television. It seems as though I was right on the money. (It’s my horn and I’ll toot it if I want too) [...] [...] In February, I wrote a rather lengthy post on my misgivings about the proposed XM/Sirius Satellite Radio merger.

First, I was quoted by Spin magazine in an online editorial about the XM-Sirius merger. According to Spin I am “tuned in” to the issue. They even spelled my name right! Pretty cool. My original post can be seen here and the article from Spin can be found here. [...] [...] 1) Press: Yours truly has gotten a little bit of press lately from the blog on some music sites.

We had heard that the merger was a possibility, but weren't too concerned at the time. And now this press release. We thought the same thing as you when we read it...didn't seem like it'd fare well for us. We chose XM for its content (I guess mainly MLB!) but we like all the choices we get. Michael likes the sports and the sports talk and I like all the music and news channels. (My new fave is The Message, btw) I don't like where this is going...but I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Michael and I just both got XM Radio this last Christmas.
