Yep.having XM with Best of Sirius is great...!!!!!!! I get it all....LOL

[Hopeful]

Hmmmm, Thanks Tripp! It's not great news but it's good.

MLB should have given Sirius subscribers full access. With this economy MLB should have lent a helping hand to not only SiriusXM but 19mil plus consumers. Could only promote their product. Thumbs down to MLB

[underway]

yeah hopeful the big news is that there will be a channel on sirius that will offer 24 hour baseball coverage and a game a day on the weekdays and 2 games on saturday and sunday. so sirius listeners will get "some" baseball as opposed too every game like xm subs get. I guess that's better than no baseball

Not really. It sucks. And I hate how this press release was handled. It's like they trying to hide what happened. Stupid. They should always be upfront because the media will cover what happened with negotiations with MLB anyway. I had to read that release several times, looking for the important facts....weren't there. STUPID STUPID STUPID!
MLB squeezed SIRI and it sucks. No other way to spin it. It's gonna piss off Sirius subs too. SIRI is going to have to simplify this XM vs Sirius mess. It is going to hold them back until they do. Damn.

mlb is trying to gank the sirius subs to get their at bat 2009.....well i guess i u have an iphone ur still ok, you can have sirius and mlb.....but pay for 2 services instead of just sirius......

[imromo24]

on the MM 's 100 to 500 block shares signals...which was the one to drive the price up? should we change the attack from 100 shares at $2 to a different ##?

[Brandon Matthews]

it wont matter. All our trades will show up on nasdaq and be combined.

I completely agree with you, they are supposed to be one company now, it makes now sense.

[benchwarmer]

Anyone,

I do not understand. If MM are paid based on volume or number of transactions executed, would they not benefit from releasing this stock so to speak and letting it trade fairly? With a large price jump and some exitement I am sure the volume would improve (more money in their pockets), and also with the pullbacks that are associated with larger moves (also more money for them) or am I just plain wrong?

[Dave Davis]

The MM's also trade their own accounts and can make alot more money by trading than just getting transaction fees on volume.
