Are the rumors true?
I didn't know about that one.AZJoe said:I doubt it, there have been merger rumors for over 4 years, and the FCC isn't likely to allow one company or the other to become a monopoly- just as they dissed DirecTV and DISH merger.

Well, you can't have just one service. My neighbor likes RFD-TV and says you can only get it with Dish Network.
If I decide to get satellite radio, only XM has easy listening, though Sirius seems to have the better standards format. On the other hand, XM has the 40s channel.

Really? I just went by what he said. Maybe he meant you can't get it on cable.Milwaukee12 said:RFD-TV is on Directv too.
I guess I would enjoy that, at least part time.TheFonz said:vchimpanzee said:If I decide to get satellite radio, only XM has easy listening, though Sirius seems to have the better standards format. On the other hand, XM has the 40s channel.
And don't overlook XM's '50s channel. They play some pre-rock early '50s (Les Paul, Frankie Laine, Perry Como, etc). Xm '50s "theme" programming is much beter than Sirius Gold.

I agree. I thought the 40s channel would be boring, but there's a lot of good stuff there. But now I see I'd be missing a lot. I guess what I like would be on Escape. Not sure about Frank's Place. I have a hard time picturing Perry Como there, but I want to hear him.AZJoe said:I personally don't think Perry Como and Jane Morgan blend too well with Elvis, the Beach Boys and Chuck Berry. XM also dips their 50s channel into the early 60s alot, it is not exclusive 1950-59.
