If you want to have some selected channels from xm it will be $4.00 more per month.

I haven't heard about the 4 buck charge for selected channels but that of course some of the channels will be merged, the music channel redundance will try to be eliminated, no need for 2 alternative 2 Jazz etc. and the NASCAR Indy channels will be available to both XM and Sirius acct holders

Well I do know that Tuesday morning, first thing, I looked at the stock as soon as it opened and it dropped from $1.88 to $1.50 in a matter of seconds. I bought several shares at $1.51 and now it is at $1.65... I really thought it would shoot higher than that but I understand the "details" have to be worked out.. I think I'll sit on this one for a while:D :D ...

They're not to bad. Listen to them every morning on the way in and listen to Howard in the geerage at night. I hope they will be able to work things out between them and have them both!!! The head honcho (I think his name is Mell or something like that) was on Opie and Anthony yesterday and talked a little about it.

mel karmazin was on howard as well .What he talked about was the two services will remain the same for quite some time. They can't merge the channels with the current satelites that they have.He said 2012 was the projected time frame for that type of satelite . I was hoping somthing could be done to get some of the xm stations sooner
