Thread: SIRIUS XM Radio Reports Third Quarter 2009 Results

I only have it because my employer pays for it. I've come to like it, but I'm still not sure if I would pay for it myself. Traffic & weather are of some use, as is the BBC and the 3 comedy channels.

I can't imagine paying to listen to radio especially in this economy. I think Sat radio is proving the model just doesnt work.

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.

I don't know if you guys missed it or not, but the snakes are charging a new $2 renewal fee on top of the subscription for "music royalty payments" according to an article on page B1 of this morning's Wall Street Journal. Like the $12.95/mo isn't enough???? I'll have to rethink my subscription. This is stupid. They lost $149M this quarter. Most of the new subs were from the cash-4-clunkers trials from what...

I've got three XM radios today. One of those will cancel next week when the annual sub is up. Radio two will cancel in March and three in June. They've killed the golden goose.....

People are jumping ship after they increased the fees once again!

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.
