A rumor from SkyReport (www.skyreport.com): A Sirius Rumor? Plus XM's Numbers Rumors (and we do mean rumors) are circulating that EchoStar is eyeing Sirius, and may be putting together a bid for the satellite radio service. While some on the editorial staff have received suggestions about a potential bid, there are others contacted by SkyREPORT who have said this is the first they have heard of such talk, or even dismissed the rumor as nonsense. For the record, DISH said it doesn't comment on rumors, and Sirius didn't return phone calls concerning the issue. On a completely different topic, but one related to satellite radio, XM reported that it ended the third quarter with more than 900,000 subscribers (and that's no rumor). The XM details can be found at SkyRETAILER: skyretailer.com. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Thomas
