Sirius XM (SIRI) has traded under $.10 down from a 52-week high of $3.89. Reuters has reported that "Sirius XM faces some $1.1 billion in debt in 2009.

Hey! I have an idea: let's make people pay for radio, and then still subject them to commercials!...

Tongue-in-cheek...

Worked good for satellite TV. My rates have almost tripled and I SYILL get the commercials.

No commercials for music on Sat radio. But if you like talk formats, you get the commercials.

What fool thought that would fly? Pay radio? Gezzz!

Same thing they did with television.

They suckered all the people.

Tell everyone how great "Pay/cable TV" is, tell them cable has more channels, NO commercials etc.

Then when the scheme is forced on everyone, the GD thing is nothing but commercials, and they got all the suckers to pay to watch *their* own commercials.

Force them to not only watch commercials, but get these suckers pay to watch them!

This is one of the biggest frauds ever.

Yep, the “no commerical” hype is just that, hype. Only the lousy music channels are commercial free. Everything else has loads of commericals and all the same; prescription drugs, penis enlargers scams, hair growth scams, financial scams, and credit counseling scams.

We let our vehicles lapse this year. I won’t be paying for what is nothing but a mix of a few cable TV channels and Internet style porno advertising.
