I've said this tons of places but stand by it: CBS will in no way allow O&A to stay with XM. They have an option to buy out their contract, and I expect they will do it. They will do it because not doing so is allowing one of their largest value properties to promote a much larger competitor with a growing advertising base - an advertising base of 13M+ listeners is significant. CBS won't let that happen.

I half expect CBS is already in talks to buy up their contract at this moment.
