Some people say Sirius XM will die tomorrow...

...and go off the air for good. Is there actually a good chance of that?

Not neccessarily , but I am hearing that Liberty is very close to a deal with Sirius XM more here Liberty Media nears deal with Sirius XM: Report - Orbitcast

 

[Bandit 5160]

That's good. Liberty will allow Sirius XM to avoid bankruptcy and is more likely to allow Sirius-XM to carry on exactly as it is doing now than Echostar would be. We would be in BIG trouble if Echostar and that asshat Charlie Ergan ever got ahold of the company- I'm glad that's looking unlikely now!

Yeah now if they change up the music channels a bit and bring back POP2K, and also include Baseball then it would be awesome!!!!!

Additional details include Liberty investing into Sirius XM in two periods along with Liberty taking half of the company.

I siriusly hope this happens. I just heard about this on my local news here in Denver.

I've been waiting to hear how this is going to go before I get XM added to my Pioneer car stereo. Now I may go buy it tonight.

Oh and they better get rid of Mel.

Oh and they better get rid of Mel.

We can only hope that Mel's days running this service are over.

Some of these posts are down right funny. In a way Sirius/XM is too big to fail or Liberty and Orbitcast would have so much interest. Change who's in charge, but don't mess with my service and I'll be happy.

Even in the worst case (Chapter 11), Sirius XM will not go off the air tommorow.

What people are saying this?? I've heard NO reports of SIRIUS XM closing their doors, even if they were to declare chapter 11 bankruptcy. Anybody spewing lies of them going "off the air for good" tomorrow are either uninformed, malicious...or both.

Worse come to worse, SIRIUS XM would not be closing up shop tomorrow. And best come to best (i.e., Liberty/Echostar intervening), they still have a steep hill to climb and are NO WHERE out of the woods...and could still file for bankruptcy down the road.

Hope this works out better than Clear Channel with XM.

I agree and it is not official yet , but once this deal is done I wonder if Direct TV subscribers will get more Sirius XM channels.

Chicken Little told me the same rumor...

 

[Mrwirez]

It was reported on CNN Lou Dobbs tonight.. SiriusXM could go dark blah blah... End of the world shit...

Chapter 7 is still within the realm of possibility. But it's less likely than ever now.

Damn Communist News Network.

I like CNN overall, but Lou Dobbs is known for being over zealous in his reporting. He is one of the biggest drama kings on TV.

Sat Radio isn't going dark anytime soon even in a worse case scenario. Oh Such Drama!

 

[TSS Taylor]

Did Wolf Blitzer just give a report too about it? I thought he said SIRIUS XM is so poor and so black. I found it offensive.

 

[TheScionicMan]

Your analog TV might go dark tomorrow...

 

[no1hedberg]

SiriusXM really needs to press release something to counteract all this. As bad as things are now for adding subs all this negative press has to killing them.
