LOL - post over and over, longer and longer posts. It doesn't change the bottom line.

Bottom line is that you predicted XMSR in the 30's and more.

Bottom line is that you predicted SIRI at 2.

Bottom line you predicted Stern wouldn't get a million subs.

Bottom line you were caught by surprise by the first cut in XMSR subs.

Bottom line is that you'll be shocked by the next cut in guidance for XMSR subs.

Bottom line XMSR is a sinking ship. The director who grabbed the lifeboat was smart to leave so quickly, exclaiming, "feets don't fail me now!!!" With the class action lawsuits, the administrative actions, the insider sales, the only ones who would be bullish would be lawyers.

As for content, you have no clue what drives subscriptions. Dead wrong, dead wrong, dead wrong is what you've been. First you claimed dopie and anthony would be the most valuable show. Next it was the 1/2 hour Oprah. You claimed that MLB would salvage the plummeting audience. Now it's some goofy channels that won't get more than a few thousand listeners.

When the director jumped ship, he said essentially that XMSR was in panic mode trying to imitate SIRI in paying for content. As the Oprah overpayment clearly shows (also the MLB robbery), too little too late, except the bottom line reads too much cost, too little effect, and way too late.
