Having tried both products I can't see why anyone would buy XM over SIRI (the products not the stocks) other than lack of knowledge or a preference for country music. Actually, I don't listen to country, but I find XM's choice of music to be fine. They have a good blues channel, several good album rock channels, etc. I don't listen to today's crap; but I think there is some of that, too. I just really doubt there is that much difference between the programming -- just from looking & listening to SIRI's internet feeds.. By the way do you have any idea how many outstanding shares XM has now? I think their updated profile will have them at around a 9 Billion market cap? Nowhere near that. Right now, there are maybe 226M shares outstanding. Ultimately, there will be 275-300M shares outstanding, so a market cap of 2.7B would be close.
