Hey just a reminder that Mel's gonna be on Jim Cramer's Mad Money in about 20 minutes on CNBC. Some of you could give a hoot, some of you are fanatic about this appearance. Either way it looks to be something interesting as a reader just sent me this from crazy Cramer himself (check it out after the jump).

I just want to take the quick opportunity to plug an alternative message board for your SIRI investors out there... oddly enough, it's called Sirius Alternative. Several of their members have been wonderful at supporting Orbitcast and I just want to return the favor by sending anyone interested in their direction.

Want to get some link-love yourself? Shoot me an email and let me know about your message board, blog, newsletter, cult or whatever. It's my hope to not only make Orbitcast a place for satellite radio news and information, but as a hub to find other satellite radio related websites.

UPDATE: I just heard there's also another Sirius message board, SiriusMoney, on MSN. Share the love!

That according to Tobin Smith's Changewave newsletter sent on November 23rd. Using the recent Jupiter Research report as a basis, Tobin is speculating that Sirius Satellite Radio will jump to 5 million subscribers by the end of 2006, and has set his moving target to $15. Crazy talk?

David Frear, SIRIUS Satellite Radio's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, will present at the Credit Suisse First Boston Leveraged Finance Media and Telecom Conference (link) in New York on Thursday, November 17th, 2005 at 2:45 pm ET.

A live audio webcast of the presentation will be available online.
