Is PRI/BBS leaving Sirius?

The boys over at Sirius Backstage caught this one. Today's channel update might be giving us a glimpse about things to come. The update has changed the names of some channels: PRI is now Talk, BBC News is now News, and BBC Mundo is now Spanish News.
With these being the three channels that are controlled by Public Radio International (BBC News/Mundo are distributed in the United States by PRI), could this be a sign that the PRI + Sirius agreement is coming to an end?
Noe, the channel name changes don't appear to be reflected on SIRIUS' Website (here and here), but that doesn't mean we can't speculate about it.

PRI already provides a preponderance of programming for XMPR. Would XM give them an entire channel in addition?
They could perhaps bring in American Public Media to fill more time on XMPR in that case.
However, from what I can tell, PRI would be unable to use any of the CBC content they currently carry on Sirius, as CBC is exclusive to Sirius.
I wonder if Sirius would give CBC another channel, or open up more Canadian channels to US subscribers, if they do lose PRI.
(Presumably Sirius could negotiate directly with BBC to keep a BBC News feed.)
I don't think this will affect World Cafe, on Sirius Disorder // 24, as it's now distributed via NPR.

Hope things work out there. I actually like PRI.

There are very small margins in for manufactures, and those will get turned over to on to you but if you know how to find
used laptops at ok prices and resell them you can earn some decent money working from home. This site may give you an idea about [url=http://www.laptop-deals.us]laptop deals[/url]
