The job is not yet finished. Mel needs to go. NOW! Sirius-XM is now subscription FM radio. Nothing more. In fact, FM radio sounds better.
come on Mr maffia give sirius a better offer we cant refuse
Mel is next.
This guy is relatively young and he used to work with Microsoft. Hopefully he'll have a clue about what changes need to be made in order to make satellite radio something to be excited about again.
Agreed. I would like to see Jon Zelner go too.
Mel isn't going anywhere.. The stock is going back up. I think O&A will be leaving before Mel does..

It's actually "principal", not "principle"
If Mr. Maffei can do for Sirius-Xm, anything close to what's been done with DirecTV, we will have a sure winner.
Betsy, I am so sorry about your son. I heard that he had drown because the counselors weren't paying any attention. They were making love while that poor boy drown.
He was, he wasn't a very good swimmer.
His name was Jason and today is his birthday.
I second the comment that Jon Zellner needs to go.
He has dumbed down the music programming to the point
that it matches his own IQ.
He is to blame for limited playlists and lots of talking and promos
over every single song. Zellner believes this the way to deliver quality
music programming to subscribers.
SiriusFM needs a total change of management.
Let us know when you want us to program the music for you
over there, okay? We won't charge you a dime to do it and
I think us bunch of amateurs can do a far better job than what
you have been doing.
