A nasty symbolic blow to Infinity, and a big gain for Sirius.

I agree. I didnt subscribe to XM when i found out Howard was moving to SIrius. Plus a buddy of mine says the Hip Hop is better on Sirius as well.

O&A were a major thorn in Stern's side at the rally.
Side by side, their show blows his out of the water.
The virus is spreading.

I wouldn't say it's all over for XM. No way. This is still a tiny market if you think about it. Sirius only has 700,000 subscribers, XM only has 2.6 million - in the world of radio, that's CRAP.
There's still plenty time for both to battle it out. It ain't over for either of them.
