In case you missed it, XM Chairman Gary Parsons and iCEO/President Nate Davis were interviewed in the New York Times this weekend.
It's part of, what I feel, is an important initiative to help increase the public profile of XM Management. Parsons also has been stepping up his speaking gigs lately, so it's good to see Davis doing his share in the press rounds.
The interview itself has some good bits where Davis and Parsons give an overview of the current state of the merger, and XM's scenario should the merger not go through. I do love how Gary refers to the NAB's persistent opposition as a "jihad" - a fitting description that definitely doesn't conjure up images of being the good-guy.
I also like how they directly addressed the number of channels that subscribers will have available post-merger. It's good to set realistic expectations of what is possible in the near term.
