    I agree. WIth the number of shares that he owns, I suspect he knows that it is in HIS best interest to stay and grow the market.

    JohnnyI -

    Great find. This is much better news than what Bloomberg was reporting last night - coupon rate almost 4 basis points below and an extra 175M.

    They are doing a great job of getting Malone off their back !

    Agree.but this is not about Malone,it is way better,this says to 2014 hedger's with lent shares,we are taking you out...bond holders get Guidance on all positive and Negative aspects from the company for 3 years,EX:Guidance on Profitability,so they saw what we won't see for a while and gave them an unbelievable rate in this economy and to boot wanted more debt...
    I can not overstate how HUGE this is....

    And honestly, having millions of subscribers that are only customers because of one radio personality is really limiting when it comes to balancing your churn. The fact that the iphone app has been so popular as a download tells me that there is much more out there to advance SXM than HS fans. And as an investor, those are the ones I want as long term customers.
    Does anyone know if they have the technology to actually know how many subs are tuned in on the Stern channels. I personally don't know anyone that listens to Stern and I'm not convinced his show has as many listeners as some suggest.
