well I suppose its back to Pandora for my music. It was a good idea but they wasted way too much money and projected an exponetial growth in subscribers which just didn’t happen.

I made the decision to cancel Sirius after they decided to raise the rate for online listening. Had they never given us that notice I'd never have decided to cancel it.

Morons.

Charlie comes across like a country bumpkin; folksy and totally unpolished.

However, I’ve always found it interesting that he used to be a professional poker player. Charlie is smart, tough business guy, and I wouldn’t want to “play” against him.

I love satellite radio. We bought a new SUV that had satellite radio on board, and I’ve barely listened to a CD since, and I used to always listen to burned CDs.

It’s surprising to me that they aren’t doing better, because it’s a great service and not at all expensive. I hope satellite radio doesn’t go under, because that will be the only hope for talk radio if the left gets their way.

There’s a new picture beside the dictionary entry for Pyrrhic victory - the SiriusXM logo

Aw, man, Hair Nation and Buzzsaw are two of my favorite channels. I am not gonna be a happy Viking if SiriusXM tanks. It's more fun than a barrel of monkeys.

Great product, poor management foresight. They tied the company too closely to the US domestic auto industry instead going after the mobile market.

I hope a solution is out there. Satellite radio is an innovation that has millions of users.

I have XM in my SUV. My wife has Sirius in her truck, which I got her as a present. We love them/it. Well worth the cost IMHO.

Her's hoping they reorg their way out of this money problem and keep providing their service.

Sirius is free, as part of our Dish program. I enjoy this service on evenings and weekends and will miss not having to pick CDs.

I thought they were nuts to pay Stern a hundred million. And it’s pretty stupid to broadcast from the priciest location in the priciest city in the country, when they could have just as easily headquarter in some abandoned strip mall in New Jersey. Nevertheless, I enjoy several of their channels and will be sorry to see them go, if indeed they do.

A space in an abandoned strip mall in NJ would cost you SERIOUS $$$ these days too. Jersey blows too.
