FCC to Approve XM-Sirius Merger

Finally! XM-Sirius merger will get FCC approval. Its about time. Its been well over a year since the merger was proposed.

A while back, both XM and Sirius announce their possible post-merger channel packages:
XM Post-Merger Line-up
Sirius Post-Merger Line-up

I hope the new packages are something like that. The ala-carte stuff offers a lot of choices. I think satellite radio customers will eventually need new equipment to get both XM and Sirius in the same radio, but hopefully the old one will still work for a while. It will be interesting to see what will happen next.
