This is not surprising considering the economy. Luxeries like XM radio are easy to cut when you are trying to trim the fat from your household budget.

No surprise there, first thing to get cut during tough economic times would be them and that 3.25 billion isn't going to pay for itself. Maybe Howard can help them out?

Can't we just tack it into the bailout? ;) I love my Sirius!

Only if Howard Stern's pay is capped at 400K :p

I don't see them going off the air. They just need to restructure their debt and with an injection of capital they'll be ok. I hope.

They are being forced. Echo star wanted to buy them back in December and Karmazin rebuffed the unsolicited offer. Since then Echo Star has bought up a lot of their debt and are seeking to force them to bankruptcy so they can take control of the company. They aren't going to go out of business...right now.

Hmmmm. Sounds like me. Anyone got an injection of capital they can spare?
