XM-Sirius Merger Step Two: Complete

They've messed with the dial now, whereas before, they offered the "Best of Sirius" to us XM'ers, for an extra $4 a month. Feh. Didn't need Stern (yes, yes, I get the joke that is Stern - it does not mean I want to pay to listen to him - he's not that compelling) and paying for Martha Stewart, Playboy Radio (what's the point??), NASCAR and NFL games on the radio.

Sadly, they did mess with two of our favorite stations, Chrome (nay XM83) and POTUS'08 which originally, was not tagged to stay around past election day anyways, but they've smashed it up with a Sirius station and now just call it POTUS. Sadly, they have let go Scott Walterman and it appears Rebecca Roberts, too, with the next phase of the merger, which appears to be Sirius being the senior partner, since the press releases are "tagged Sirius XM". But, Ron Silver on POTUS? Again, feh. The POTUS lineup is now remarkably thin. At least they could have put the POTUS Press Pool on for the evening commute. At least I get Morning Briefing for the morning commute.
