Sirius XM is the (only) satellite radio provider for the United States, providing 100% commercial free music to over 18 million subscribers, as well as sports, news, talk, entertainment, traffic and weather. They have exclusive rights to a dizzying assortment of personalities, including Howard Stern, Oprah, Martha Stewart, Jimmy Buffet, Barbara Walters, Opie & Anthony and Willie Nelson, as well as being the official satellite radio partner to the NFL, NBA, NASCAR, NHL, PGA Tour and major college sports. They offer various other products that take advantage of their satellite capabilities, including Sirius Backseat TV and XM NavTraffic, and they have exclusive arrangements with every major automaker in the country.

THE BAD: Only recently merged, Sirius and XM were two separate companies never having made a profit, leaving the combined company wracked with debt. Although the merger will eventually save the company vast amounts of money, it will take years to fully iron out all the synergies, and in the beginning they may see an increase in costs from the necessary severance payments. It will be months before they even release a radio capable of playing the combined companies content. Over 75% of Sirius XM's new subscribers are from their arrangements with the automaker industry, leaving them particularly vulnerable during this period of weak auto sales. Finally, many people, particularly investors, question whether satellite radio even serves a purpose, or is just the newest way of conning consumers out of their paychecks.

THE GOOD: Even before the merger, Sirius's revenue and subscriber base was increasing 25% annually, and analysts predicted they would make a profit within the year. With the merger complete, the company can save exorbitant amounts of money by eliminating duplicate job positions (already being done), duplicate company departments, and duplicate radio channels (two CNNs, two FOX news, two reggae channels). The resulting satellite bandwidth freed up may then be used for new products under development, or new radio content such as new channels and public access. In addition, all the potential subscribers unsure whether Sirius or XM was better, only have one choice now. The company has announced future a la carte programming, allowing users to choose their favorite 50 channels for half the price, which will draw in customers curious from the media buzz, and will help retain customers unwilling to dish out $12 a month. The exclusive arrangements with automakers are continuing to grow under the merged company (Sirius XM radio will be in 90% of new Mercedes Benz vehicles by 2010), providing the company with a fresh supply of new subscribers. There will be a dramatic shift from advertising to retaining. Years without a profit has left the stock price ravaged, Citigroup just called Sirious XM "massively undervalued", and CEO Mel Karmazin recently purchased 2 million new shares. And lastly, with 18 million subscribers, Sirius XM would be a very attractive buy to the big players, such as Google or Microsoft, who surely have their eyes on this cheap fiesty satellite provider.

Sirius and XM have spent the last seven years trying to prove satellite radio is important, while at the same time fighting each other for new subscribers, and it has made them strong.They have already learned from their previous mistakes and successes, and with the competition gone, they are ready to make money.
