Just after I dropped Sirius/XM they add MSNBC

Maybe they read one of the reasons I dropped them? Money talks.

And I was going to buy some of their stock yesterday and I didn't pull the trigger.

On Wednesday April 7, 2010, 12:28 pm
NEW YORK (AP) -- Satellite radio operator Sirius XM Radio Inc. said Wednesday that it will begin carrying the cable news channel MSNBC on April 12.

MSNBC will air on SIRIUS channel 90 and XM channel 120. MSNBC is owned by General Electric Co.

Sirius XM shares rose 6 cents, or 7.4 percent, to 93 cents in midday trading.

2. MSNBC was the reason why we first decided to keep XM

after our initial free period expired. I was so pissed when they canceled, but I was hooked to XM by then, so I kept my subscription going. Glad to hear it's back.

3. re: stock...

You you think there is a long term future to satellite radio? I'm under a 3 year subscription, but have doubts about the very long term, given the advent of other alternatives. :shrug:

6. That's a good reason

I didn't buy stock yesterday. I'm able to stream a lot of content on my Palm Pre from Sprint.
