Was Oprah and the live 1/2 hour a week a good deal for XMSR? what kind of numbers is XMSR saying she is generating? They paid more per minute of original content, live content for her than SIRI paid for Stern and maybe she will match the 35,000 subs that Dope and A got, but I doubt it. Is shared content Dopie and Anthony a good deal for XMSR? Don't forget they had a whole a 35,000 (yes, that's thousands) of loyal fans willing to pay a whole buck to listen to them? MLB is virtually a total loss for XM.

LOL. That was when they were trying to defend giving him another $110 Million, and before he ever worked ONE DAY at Sirius. You're going to count THAT remark? You stated as a FACT.... Sirius has never stated any such thing. When I prove you are 100% wrong.. (WITH LINKS).. Instead of admitting you are WRONG.. You begin to attempt to conjugate your reasoning as to why the FACTS that have been presented are NOT FACTS, while your OPINION supersedes the FACTS. Hint: This is more of your Self-Importance Complex shinning thru.. I know lots and lots of Bagmemberz that had Self-importance complex's.. They all ended up being very BITTER people. At any rate, you are now on record as having said that Sirius getting Stern was a "good deal". Pretty much tells the story. Ahhh! Looks like another dose of David Ray's Self-Importance Complex. You notice.. When someone provides the ACTUAL FACTS of the debate. Mr. Ray concludes that he his entitled to "proclaim who and what is "on the record"". LOL!! I provided you SEC statements and quotes by the company. Those are the FACTS. Anyone can draw their own conclusions based on their interpretation of those FACTS. However, that being said... It appears that through "simple math" that the Howard Stern Deal has at least reached a break even point in regards to costs and revenue accredited to his content by the company itself. Which is something that I can not say I have ever seen from XM. Regarding it's MLB Baseball contract payments. In other words.. If you believe that Stern is an "underperforming asset".. Then your 60 million a year MLB contract is a "non-performing asset".. LOL!! Perhaps, if you were more objective and less BITTER. You could look at things more transparently, without the aid of colored glasses? And so it goes, PCSTEL
