Give me Squizz on Sirius and a few other music channels and I can stop subscribing to both.
As to the merger, both companies were/are headed for bankruptcy. XM first with Sirius coming later. Cash flow positive does not mean making money or even close to making money. Hopefully a bunch of duplicate infrastructure can be eliminated and the larger combined customer base can give the new Sirius better negotiating power with advertisers, the music industry, and various content providers.
