I have to say, I'm still insanely happy with satellite radio. I may be the exception to the rule, I don't have a single "music" station programmed into my hotlist. If I want that, I've got CDs. But the access to constant news & live sports programming? No way I could go without it. The merger to me is the ultimate in positives. During the summer, I can follow full on baseball, and in the winter, football. Sine I'm a fan of a not-local team in the NFL, it makes it a snap to follow, and getting both calls (home/away) is a treat - I've often found that I'll turn down the volume on TV and listen to the home call of a game, and when an injury occurs, I'll flick over to the away call.
I admit, the only thing that would make me happier is if they would form some sort of agreement with Audible and do serialized books or allow their radios a memory card to "store" programming of the same, more then the 45 minute storage limit.
But nothing, and I mean nothing in my mind beats the ability to hear about something going on in North Korea, and then flick through five different news sources instantly and get the information. It's like a news junkies dream.
