FM listening is relatively stable over the last 25 years, while AM is
off by 30%.

Satellite had a net loss of subscribers last year, with a horrible
Christmas season and low sales of new cars with pre-installs sealing
that coffin. XM Sirius has no cash and nearly a half-billion in debt due
in April.


They will declare bankruptcy and reorganize lean and mean. They are not
going anywhere but up.

They lost a collective $12 billion since launching, and are, even merged,
not profitable. With the auto industry in crisis, they may not survive or
will be sold to a media company... although few would want to take on the
operating losses.
