Yo Spaz!!

[Andyfromontario]

Hi spaz...I'm the new kid

[milkman]

Chob, you have any idea what this new ratings system is like? Will it fluctuate impossibly like the arbitron?

[Chob]

everyone on XM - including the brand itself - should be gone IMO

sirius fucked up large... said it many times - how cheap do you think they could have got XM if it went into receivership? - or at least the talent and the equipment - they should never have taken any of that management - they were already well on their way to bankrupting XM

They barely took any of the management, most of the XM people in high positions left.

We can't blame XM for fucking things up.

It's supposed to be worn on a person, and pick up radio signals too I believe. Which sounds just as easy to manipulate.

well - I will

they were fucked before the merger - hell XM needed it.. Sirius put them in a position to make it seem like they needed to merge..

I still say if another satellite radio company ever comes along - they will trump sirius now...

just think - with interest rates so low - you could go HUGE and take years to pay it back and not have half the debt siriusXM does

then again- this pothead's opinion is usually a step away from a crackpot theory

[Shag]

I'm not a big fan of O.A.R. but I must say they sounded great live the last time they were in.

I pretty much agree!! I didn't know much about Mel, I though he was like the brainiac of radio!!

Either he has delegated to much authority to incompetent middle managers, or he really has lot it or never had it!! Their decision making is fuckin pathetic, from a radio/talent position. I don't know much else about their biz.
