Review: If Sirius and XM are combined how would that work with the price of the service. At present I am a life member and I like it that way. Will I have to pay more or will my life membership be honored.

Review: I have tried both and prefer XM. I guess a lot has to do with the fact that I am not a big Howard fan. He is ok but I tink he is more shock than funny. The music is better on XM. I do like the NFL but that's not enough to give up the music.

Review: If Opie and Anthony are so much better how come XM is allowing them to go back on to regular radio? I will tell you why. Opie and Anthony only had a few thousand subscribers come to listen to them, unlike the millions who came to listen to Stern. Opie and Anthony were a bust on XM and now they are trying to get some listeners on Howard's old radio station.

Review: We have Symphony Hall (80) on all night in the bedroom, listen to the Metropolitan Opera on 85, light Classics on 86, standards on 75, blues on 74, pure jazz on 72--there's lots to like on Sirius! Have never listened to Howard Stern and do not ever intend to listen to Howard Stern. XM is No. 2 for content in our opinion.

Review: I can't criticize what I don't really know, but to say that Howard has taken a backseat to Opie and Anthony has to be the most absurd thing I have read anywhere. Are they funnier? I don't know, I have never seen their show, but I was not impressed with their appearance on Letterman. Howard put Sirius on the map while the majority of the US don't even know who Opie and Anthony are. I own Sirius stock because I think like DirectTV they went for the exclusive programming that would count and that is what matters. Both XM and Sirius will probably survive just fine like Dish Network and Direct TV do, they provide a service people want. Those who think that it has to be one or the other need to get a grip. As of right now, they are both huge losers, there is nothing to brag about.

Review: Opie and Anthony on XM 202 make all the difference in this debate. They are so much more entertaining and hip than Howard Stern. Howard was great once, but he has long since taken a back seat to O & A.

Review: I have rarely ever seen such a blatant advertisement for one company over other. What is the writer's relationship to Sirius? I have seen and used both products and I can tell you that the differences are minimal and XM is usually ahead of Sirius. All this article does is highlight the potential of one company over its larger competititor. There should be a disclaimer in this article or a similar article from XM's perspective should also be written by Business Week.

Review: Sirius is the best, hands down! I have had both services and let's face it, Howard 100 and 101 is the most compelling content money can buy. There is no substitute. Period. This new Stilleto will be a godsend for the company and XM should be quaking in their boots for '07.

Review: Let's stick to the facts, Sirius is gaining on XM and soon will overtake the company in subscribers and car installations. Seeing as how satellite radio will eventually be the new standard in almost every car, I'd suggest buying both stocks while the prices are low.

Review: Correction: We have made a change to the second to last graf of the story. XM had made additions to its marketing team in July, not September.
