    Wible will land on his feet!

    Analysts are in a low job security gig right now, lots will lose jobs and the deck will get reshuffled. I think we have not heard the last of Tony. The next 2 years will prove him right & I hope the best for him. Looking at SiriusXM in the short view will drive us all insane - if we look out further, there are more reasons to stay put & positive. The market has a short memory, and todays disapointment often turns into next years success story. Picking darkhorses is just not the soup of the day right now. Being really careful what you say is the ticket... problem is that by the time sentiment changes and the general investing public gets back on the sat radio bandwagon, the money has already been made by investors that take a more independent view. Warren Buffet and many others like him are worth their salt because they are not swayed by irrational fear. They get while the getting is good... and it is good right now. In 10 years,SiriusXm will be an expensive equity, or part of another expensive equity, and nobody will remember this downturn. Look at the fundementals, management, quarterly metrics, and do not get caught up in the rest. All will be well in the end

    Sirius XM makes cuts to XM in D.C.
    Washington Business Journal - by Darlene Darcy and Tierney Plumb Staff Reporters


    Sirius XM Inc. has laid off at least 50 on-air and off-air employees in D.C., according to several published reports.

    Officials with Sirius XM in D.C. and New York did not return calls or e-mails seeking comment.

    XM Satellite, which became a wholly owned subsidiary of New York-based Sirius XM after the $3.3 billion merger, kept its D.C. broadcasting headquarters under the deal.

    In a voice mail message, David Butler, a spokesman at XM in D.C., said his last day at the company was Oct. 10.

    The company has already announced a “best of both” line-up for XM customers, which includes additional Sirius programming options.

    Sirius XM Chief Executive Mel Karmazin has started the belt tightening while assuring Wall Street analysts Tuesday at the Media and Money Conference in New York. He assured analysts that his sputtering satellite radio company will eventually turn a profit.

    Karmazin just has to refinance more than $1 billion in debt amidst the U.S. credit drought.

    Sirius XM has $1.1 billion in debt due in 2009, $300 million of which is due in February.

    The company’s stock (NASDAQ: SIRI) has faltered, closing below $1 a share since Sept. 22. Shares closed at 42 cents apiece Oct. 15.

    Nevertheless, Karmazin told analysts that he expects revenue streams -- despite low auto sales -- to deliver $300 million to $400 million in revenue next year.

    Billy Zero, program director at XMU (Channel 43), and the alternative music channel’s “Dean of Music” Tobi were among those put on the chopping block.

    On the XMU Nation Web site they said they “have enjoyed the years of love, music, fun and passion we have exchanged with our friends in music.”

    The merged company’s 19.5 million subscribers make it the second-biggest subsciption-based media company, after Comcast.

    “We’re probably one of the top 25 media companies today,” said Karmazin on Oct. 14, according to CNet. “I think it’s very clear that we will be the most successful company in the audio entertainment industry. I know certainly, as ranked by revenue, we’ll be there soon. Now we just need to grow our free cash flow and demonstrate that.”

    I was the first to comment again under the most recent Motley Fool garbage posted in the Yahoo SIRI news section...

    You have got to be kidding me... Why is this posted in the Yahoo SIRI news section? What does this have to do with SIRI? Answer = nothing! Another worthless article from the Motley Fool fishing for hits. These are the same guys who were recommending XM over $30 and then now bashing the combined company at .43. Listening to these guys will lose you money. They pump speculative stocks like JADE and then bash those same stocks after huge declines.
    Quit putting the SIRI ticker symbol in your articles day after day unless you have some worthwhile analysis...

    Posted by Eric Savitz
    Sirius XM (SIRI) has laid off about 80 former XM employees based in the former XM headquarters in Washington, D.C., according to the Washington Post.

    The Post says that the cuts included “many of the on-air voices and program directors of the service’s most popular music channels,” including the staff of its Decades channels - hits of the 40s, 50s, 60s, etc. - and its black music channels.
