Do you know what Sirius' advertising revenue was for the first quarter of this year? $7.3 million dollars. For the entire company. The second quarter they did $8.1 million. Wow. They are really raking in the bucks there. Sure I do.. I posted them the other day.. Of course.. That 7.3 million and 8.1 million were about a 700% increase of what they did in Q4. So you can attribute almost all of that to Stern, since SIRI doesn't have any Clear Channel Advertising Channels. You are also forgetting the subscriber acquisition costs for the subscribers that Stern brough in. And the contribution margin calculation. LOL! I'll worry about that when you two bunk mates can figure out how that MLB 60 million a year deal is doing with XM.. In other words.. I would be more worried about your own financial boondogles than that of a compeditor.. But, that is my opinion. Personally, I hope they both outspend each other into oblivion, so far.. They are doing a pretty good job. And so it goes, PCSTEL
