I have a lifetime sub as well as an extra radio that I pay 10 bucks a mth for. I have come to love sat radio and can't live without it. If I ever lose my job than I will get rid of it totally. As long as I am working I can't see getting rid of the 10 buck bill for something that I flick on every single day for hours in my car. As long as they keep on adding subs and continue to cut costs, this company will be fine. The addition of a more lucrative internet sub base will continue to bring in cash as more smart phones are added to the mix. They must MUST add more subs for them to turn it around. They are on the right path, but they aren't there yet.

I have two XM subs. We'll have to see how things go in the next year. If the economy goes in the crapper as many think it has not bottomed yet and gas prices go up unreasonably as many think they will, I will be dropping my subs. Even though I really like XM. It is a luxury I could do without if I have to tighten the belt. Also if they raise prices any more that also would make me cancel.

As disappointing as some of the changes have been since the merger, I believe that Sirius XM is still a fantastic value, ESPECIALLY in this economy. Where else can one find such diverse programming AND have it home, at work, mobile, portable or on the internet? Even with my extensive vintage and modern music library I am continually excited by the 'new' music as well as the classics plus news, NPR, and my husband digs the comedy.

I would otherwise have to seek out and buy ALL the music they offer. And frankly, I do not have the time to waste doing that or downloading music and creating my own iPod library.

Years ago we installed Sirius at our business and there was an immediate attitude adjustment. The incessant commercials and repeated songs were driving us all mad and causing more stress. Now all the stereos in our shop are on the same channel, no arguing, no bickering, no commercials (except the 60's channel) and we get enough variety that everyone is content. Customers have noticed and compliment every time.

I really want Sirius XM to be profitable and successful because I want to continue enjoying sat radio! ESPECIALLY in this economy, it is agreat value and we have enough stress without all the annoyances of OTA radio.

Certainly each must determine the worth of something for themselves, but $12.95 a month is darn cheap entertainment.

Members of my family have and currently have careers in broadcast radio. I don't wish them demise but I think the Sirius business model will work-look how long it took cable TV to 'catch on'. I think OTA radio is the bad business model. More commercials than ever and in my market only one AM station here is news format and they are the most unprofessional anchors I've ever heard. FM stations are grasping for listeners and with each grasp become more obnoxious.

I have two XM Radios and would never go back to FM/AM unless I had too. The numerous channels and commercial free stations make it an awesome radio service. Its only $11.95 for family friendly service and thats a steal compared to Cable TV and SAT TV.

Long live Sirius/XM!

I quit buying CDs and downloading music. Unless its a special CD I must have.

If they could get past the FCC and the local broadcasters and put terrestrial repeaters in Alaska they could add another 100,000 or so new subscribers.

I love it as well. I view it as a small price to pay for commercial free music.....sports talk and howard stern. I also listen on my Itouch at home. I bought a dock for my old stereo receiver and the music sounds great.
