Should this be in E* or here? Please move if needed.

Echostar mogul Charlie Ergen has made another play for Sirius XM (SIRI), offering to restructure its debt and refinance it in exchange for control of the company. No word yet from Mel Karmazin, who was last seen banging the drum and saying Sirius would be able to refinance its debt no problem.

It might not be a bad idea. I know I'd like Sirius/XM to stay in business. I love my XM. Ergen does have the resources to do it. It might be a win-win.

I liked XM before the merger. The channels Dish uses for music now have deeper playlists than Karmazin's shallow channels, and I'd hope that should Dish take over XM, the playlist depth would be restored closer to pre-merger levels.

THANKS FOR VISITING!
