For the record, Sirius has about 900M more debt due to be financed in the next 13 months. The 4.8 billion you are referring to is the writedown of goodwill on the merger value, not new debt.
Just ridiculous how many bashers come to these sights and make things up and give false info. Anyhow, would be interested in some channels coming back and maybe they went overboard and will put a few back to soothe some listeners complaints, but they can't do many or it defeats the purpose of one of the big merger synergies.
For the record I'd like to see the Strobe & Backspin back, but if not, I still will never cancel either service I own because there isn't anything better for your $ and love all the sports across both services. Since I have both Sirius and XM subscriptions, I don't have use for Best of, but am interested in the interoperable radio that will come out in 6 months.
