For fans of O&A on XM this merger does not look like good news. Right off the bat O&A and Mel Karmazin hate each other. And also they would be under the same company as Stern who would once again have the power to have Karmazin put them back under a Stern gag order. And that is if (which may be unlikely) O&A will be part of the new company. This will very likely shake the dual terrestrial/satellite deal they have while under XM. Karmazin has said in the past that he believes in exclusivity. So they may either have to give up terrestrial or, they will be bought out by CBS and will have to settle for doing a show only on censored radio.
