Yesterday I spotted a story at Crunchgear saying that certain XM Satellite content was now available on Sirius Satellite (and vice versa). Of course these two money losing Satellite Radio entities recently merged after an overly lengthy prolonged government approval process. All during this regulatory period I kept reading about how the merger would be better and cheaper for the listener. Looks like better and cheaper adds up to $48 per year for someone who is an XM subscriber and wants to add the Sirius channels that contain unique content (Stern, NFL, Nascar, Martha Steward and Playboy). This is good news for those of us with XM Radio embedded in our car. As for my free standing radios I’ll start my cost savings by migrating to listening via the web rather than have multiple (more) costly subscriptions.
