Business Makeover: Sirius XM
Minyanville Staff Nov 17, 2008 4:40 pm

If it's broke, fix it.

The July merger of Sirius and XM was supposed to be just the boost the struggling satellite-radio providers needed to overtake their terrestrial competition. But last week, the broadcaster reported a third-quarter loss of $4.88 billion. Although revenue increased, it wasn’t enough to compensate for the reduction in consumer discretionary spending.

With the company’s stock now trading at roughly a quarter and music fans increasingly relying on their MP3 players -- or toughing it out with the FM dial -- how can Sirius XM (SIRI) change channels?

Tap into Christian rock's growing audience: Between Creed songs, program sermons that demand that listeners recruit other Sirius XM subscribers.
Lucy, Fred and Ethel -- XM's popular alternative channels -- were victims of the merger, as were 4 Spanish-language channels. Debut a station called "Ricky" that plays Spanish songs, but can also fit right in with Lucy, Fred and Ethel.
Since September, Sirius XM's stock has been hovering at less than $1 on the NASDAQ. Consider a federal bailout in exchange for serving as the government's chief source of propaganda.
Declining automobile sales hit subscriptions hard. Develop receivers that can be powered by pedaling a bike.
Howard Stern is a big incentive to subscribe, but satellite radio's uncensored format leaves him with fewer boundaries to push. Instruct cast member Artie Lange to have a drug relapse during an execution segment.
Remind customers: Music that's available free of charge always sounds better when you have to pay for it.

The stock price has nothing directly to do with the company's viability. However, it could have an impact on our ability to borrow money - which obviously has an impact on survival. This seems to be a game of chicken between the bond bullies(GS) and the company, which doesn't want to bow to their demands for another convert. The bond bullies are winning.

Apex,

Will you please reconsider using all caps in every post? It's hard on my eyes to readjust back and forth from small text to big text. It is universally understood to be shouting and rude to type in all caps all of the time...


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netiquette

"Another rule is to avoid typing in ALL CAPS, which is considered shouting or yelling."

What is Forum Etiquette?

"Another violation of forum etiquette is posting in ALL CAPS. This is considered shouting and is very rude, in addition to being hard on the eyes. Something may be in caps for emphasis (e.g. I did NOT want to go!), but no post should be entirely in all caps."

"You can use capital letters...just don't use all capitals. It's considered rude. It's like yelling at someone. Look at it this way; if you want to emphasize something in a sentence, you might capitalize the word, right? (example: "I am NOT going to do that" or "I am not going to do THAT") So if you capitalize everything, it's like you're trying to emphasize EVERY SINGLE WORD IN THE ENTIRE MESSAGE. People will actually feel as though you are yelling at them."

"When you write in all capital letters, this looks (and maybe sounds) to the recipient as if you were shouting. Writing in All Caps is Like Shouting. This is why you should use all caps sparingly. It is a strong effect, and it should remain one. Imagine Someone Shouting All the Time. Not only would it mean little when she shouted, it is also more difficult to understand somebody who shouts. Similarly, text in upper case is significantly more difficult to read than lower and mixed case text."
