Mel Karmazin, Gary Parsons, Nate Davis met with FCC

I pay 4.45 for gas but we need to freeze radio subscription fees for 6 years? Are you kidding me?

I pay 4.45 for gas but we need to freeze radio subscription fees for 6 years? Are you kidding me?

I pay $4.45 for gas but we need to freeze radio subscription fees for 6 years? Are you kidding me?

Melvin Alan "Mel" Karmazin with his #1 and #2 bitches met with FCC, not one of the greed three are worried about subscribers, but are more interested in pump and dump of a failing industry.

EXACTLY!

The mergers of Exxon and then of Chevron were approved after only one meeting and NO meeting respectively! With ZERO fucking restrictions!!!

THEY were TRUE monopolies!!! Not Sirius and XM!!!

And the FCC wants to FREEZE prices on two small radio companies for 6 FUCKING YEARS????

What about FUCKING FORCING THE BIG OIL COMPANIES TO FREEZE PRICES FOR ONE FUCKING MONTH?

NO?

OF COURSE NOT!!!.... YOU FUCKING TWO FACED BASTARDS ARE AS CORRUPT AS THEY COME!!!

FUCK OFF AND DIE! :-)

AP: FCC Commissioner Sees Resolution Within Week
July 21, 2008 (7:31 pm) Brandon Matthews
The Associated Press is reporting that an unnamed FCC Commissioner ”signaled that he hopes the haggling over a proposed merger with XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. will be resolved within a week.”

http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080721/wall_street_stocks.html?.v=3

It also appears that no meetings have occured at the FCC since last Wednesday, with the exception being attorneys for Sirius and Xm meeting with Commissioner Tate regarding enforcement issues on Thursday.

AC up to his usual........................

Someday this war's gonna end

laim,

Agreed. I think media companies should curb their profits as well as Apple and Microsoft. Well since they make more money than oil companies do. Look at the percentages.

I've guessed at least 30 times (wrongly) about when this will be passed.. I'm on the bandwagon for the end of this month or at the very least the very first three days of August.. put that in your stove pipe and burn it.. it's worth that much...

If anybody thinks the FCC is on the up and up i have a Bridge for sale in Brooklyn.

Now that i think about that is not so nuts our whole Country is for sale including the FCC

@mario

the day after the war in iraq ends....oh wait

"Melvin Alan "Mel" Karmazin with his #1 and #2 bitches met with FCC, not one of the greed three are worried about subscribers, but are more interested in pump and dump of a failing industry."

Then, why is HD Radio so concerned about being forced into this failing technology?

I would like to take the coward into an alley with a hatchet... and I and the hatchet only come out. Fucking hack NAB tool.

As subscribers why are you idiots not happy with the FCC at least THINKING about allowing the MONOPOLY to be passed AND that our subscription fee's won't go up for 6 years? Hmmmm I guess it's again proven the satellite radio special interest groups are here at Orbitcast desperate to FUD the uneducated while posting as if they are a bunch of regular listeners.

BUSTED!

One look at the average cross section of people posting here at orbitcast it would seem no one is happy with radio, no one is happy with Sirius, or xm and that a small minority of posters feel the urge to prove their personal ignorance each time they post by posting FUD like our resident DEBUNKED TROLL Pocketradio.

The FCC might or might not be "concerned about (HD Radio) being forced into this failing technology" because HD Radio is the approved technology standard for digital radio AND will be around long after sirius and xm are gone and their satellites used for target training exercises.

"More automakers are offering HD radio as a factory or dealer-installed option. And HD radio offers new interactivity that can’t be matched by its analog predecessor. For example, a feature that allows users to tag a song they like for purchase on Apple’s iTunes store.

HD Digital Radio • IT’S TIME TO UPGRADE!
HD Digital Radio. It's here. It's local. It's free. DISCOVER IT!
www.hdradio.com

To date, nearly 1,750 AM/FM stations covering 83% of the United States are broadcasting digitally, while about 800 offer original formats and content on HD side channels, according to iBiquity Digital, the developer and licensor of HD radio technology. U.S. HD radio sales totaled about 300,000 units in 2007, with about 1 million units expected to be sold this year.

HD radios range from table-top units to car radios being offered by leading consumer and audiophile brands as Panasonic, Yamaha, Denon, Polk and Harman Kardon.

HD Radio has an economically efficient pipe to distribute to a broad audience."

No matter what the decision, the FCC needs to be investitgated.

"The deal was still a high hurdle even with the conditions suggested by Adelstein. Those include: a six-year price freeze with no programming-cost pass-through; setting aside 25% of the combined company's channel capacity for outside parties, including independent commercial and noncommercial programmers; interoperable receivers; a mandated HD-radio chip (to receive digital terrestrial stations) in subsidized receivers; and outside monitoring of compliance.

FCC commissioner Michael Copps -- who joined all of the commissioners but Martin on a panel at the conference -- said he remained where he has always been on the merger: It presents "a really steep climb to demonstrate they are serving the public interest. I can't say I have seen that claim validated so far," although he added that the decision has gone on "long enough."

As for Adelstein's proposal, Copps said that even before you get to that point, you have to look at it as a merger to monopoly, adding, "As you know, I'm not a fan and never have been, of some of the mergers we've done."

Tate is said to want the FCC to resolve issues with XM’s and Sirius’ violations of FCC rules related to their use of transmission equipment. Adelstein agreed. "I think the outstanding enforcement issues should be resolved before we complete the approval of the transaction," he said.

Adelstein said the FCC is in discussions with XM and Sirius. "There were major infractions of FCC rules," he added, but would not say whether he favored fines or a consent decree."

Lets hope HEAVY FINES, JAIL TIME, FCC LICENSE'S PULLED, and a BIG OLD NO! to "merge" MONOPOLY scheme's

No matter what the decision, the FCC needs to be investigated.

HD Radio has an economically efficient pipe to Rip - off the RIAA causing you to be sued randomly for illegally downloading music

HD Radio(TM) technology, digital AM and FM broadcasting, is transforming the radio experience in ways never thought possible. Developed by iBiquity Digital Corporation and supported by the leaders of the broadcasting, consumer electronics, retail and automotive industries, the technology is available to most Americans and is picking up momentum around the world. HD Radio broadcasters offer a variety of innovative new programming through multicast (HD2/3) channels; static-free, crystal-clear reception on both AM and FM; and data services, such as text information, i.e. artist names and song titles. More than 1,700 HD Radio stations are currently on the air plus over 800 new FM multicast channels -- all subscription free. For a full list of HD Radio stations and multicast channels in your community, visit http://www.hdradio.com.

AC, you really need to stop the HD Radio spam. Any points you're making seem to be counteracted by plugging HD Radio on a Satellite Radio blog. If you don't want people calling you a NAB shill, I would stop that and stick to the facts, and stop the blatant repeating of your mantras and slogans

Because you do have one point. A six year price freeze pretty much benefits consumers and the only people I see who'd object to that would be stockholders looking for a quick buck.

HD is free and comes with my car, then its potential exceeds the near- and mid-term potential for online radio in vehicles, It's easy to fall into the trap of the 'futurist' and assume free, ubiquitous Internet access will be available to all. Someday maybe, but in the intervening years, radio does have a gap -- through an ever-closing window -- to establish new, great digital brands that consumers will be loyal to wherever they are and whatever they are doing."

"Radio has an economically efficient pipe to distribute to a broad audience" -- the airwaves."

JRT,

I hear you but really could care less what the satellite radio shill's opinions are. HD Radio is the approved digital radio technology for the MAJORITY. Think about it not saying the HD Radio "clause" for "merge" MONOPOLY is right or wrong but why would sirius and xm derail their desperate "merge" over a $12-$15 dollar HD chip? Face it HD Radio discussion, based on truth and reality has everything to do with a Satellite Radio blog at this point thanks in part to Melvin Alan "Mel" Karmazin and his "merge" MONOPOLY scheme.

I'd say Tyler Savery has a pretty good grasp on the reality here:
http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle+articleid_2414163.html

There Is No Light at the end of the tunnel. It is a train crash comming. Just check to see the collateral damage.

That damage is self inflicted by Melvin Alan "Mel" Karmazin and his "merge" MONOPOLY scheme.

Just Walk Away, Sirius
By Rick Aristotle Munarriz
"Both Sirius and XM are substantially larger than they were when they announced plans to hook up in February of 2007.

Each company has a large enough subscriber base to turn a profit, or at least be consistently cash flow-positive. The synergies behind a combination would be great, but who would agree to freeze rates for six years?

Record labels already have a deal in place in which their royalty share increases from XM and Sirius. As the NFL, baseball, and Howard Stern deals come up, they, too, will likely command higher markups. If XM and Sirius can't raise rates for six years, they could suffocate. What would happen to a cable provider like Comcast (Nasdaq: CMCSA), or a satellite-television company like DirecTV (NYSE: DTV), if it couldn't pass on programming increases to its subscribers? Synergies or not, you don't want to see what XM and Sirius will look like in four to five years if they can't have consumers help pay for their growing overhead.

Then you have requests for the allocation of a growing chunk of XM's and Sirius' spectrum to public-interest programming. With the 19 million collective subscribers lacking interoperability out of their present receivers, surrendering 25% of their bandwidth for non-commercial channels means less premium content. It may not matter once the next generation of interoperable receivers become the standard, but for now, that requirement is just crowding out the content that consumers are currently willing to pay up for.

So why play this game? Walk away, XM. Run away, Sirius. Pull the rug from under the lobbyists, legislators, and regulators who have been making you stand around and wait for 17 months. You're both strong enough to survive on your own. You may need to cut costs, make difficult programming decisions, and possibly increase rates, but at least you can do those things now, while you still have the freedom to do so."

Any management with a pulse, who cared about it's company and it's subscribers would have pulled the "merge" plug long ago, and not let their companies tread water for 17+ months now. But remember the greed and arrogance coupled with the typical pathetic satradio management teams. Pump and dump!

Merger Scheme

AC, HD radio, like TerRad, is crap...always has been, always will be. You guys had a captive audience since the beginning and got away with presenting people what you wanted, not what they wanted. Now that your door has been kicked in, you guys can do nothing more than scream like a bunch of kids.
Just like cable TV, people are willing to pay for premium, commercial free (that's the bottom line isn't it) service.
The days of crappy DJ's trying to be funny, and screaming car commercials is over (that's the bottom line isn't it).
Your ad revenue is gone, and so will be your profits.
It's your own fault that you guys did not embrace change and become part of it. Now you are history.

AMEN!!!

Guys - let's give AC a break. After all, his livelihood is in the balance right now. Unless HD somehow gets crammed down our throats thru this ridiculous Adel-Idiot - HD radio will be joining it's brother, HD-DVD in the landfill of badly executed products that got their butt beat by the competiton. Only the NAB and their paid-for friends can save it this time.

Go to most electronic stores online and you'll find rock bottom bargain prices on this crap.

Public Knowledge said it too last week - no need to mandate HD radio - the open source requirement will bear out the winners in the market. PK surely isn't a Satrad fan. They're neutral at best.

We're almost there! The death blow to the NAB and testicle radio.

The idiots on this blog amount to 99% of what is wrong with America today.If you think that the FCC gives A RATS REAR END about anything posted here .Your WRONG!!!!! I own stock in this merger as well and whether it goes thru or not is actuallly irrelevant at this point.What matters is that we as America have no true voice anymore. This process of a so called merger has taken it's toll on the stockholders value through the ridiculous time that it has taken for absurd reasoning.If someone wants to compete with this merged communion then they themselves can spend their own monies ( clear channel etc) and create their own spectrum sharing the expense of creating this multi band radio .It should come at no expense to I or anyone who owns stock in eithier of these companies. What it seems like is somebody wants a free ride at the stock holders expense. This is why I don't hold a stock for very long .That's the most foolish thing anyone can do in today's virtual robbery world .Stock manipulation is the most crimminal act their is and I'm not waiting for anyone to rip me off after this fiasco that has gone on too long . I have learned that the market is a place where you must not linger for long. GET YOUR MONEY and run DAILY..I fel sorry for those of you who bought this stock at 50.00 and are now in the poor house.AFTER dropping a couple g's over the last few weeks i've learned you got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em ,know when to walk away ,and I'm runnng very soon again . For ALL you hold overs I appreciate the opportunity to have made money on this stock as well as others. It has just become A THREE RING CIRCUS in THIS FORUM and NO INTELLIGENT PERSON would even consider the opinions of the 99% posted here,ESPECIALLY ANYONE WHO POSTS FOR THE HOPE that some FCC commissioners would SERIOUSLY consider the opinions posted without intelligence. For those who have used your brain you would have SOLD your STOCK OVER and OVER and ended UP with FREE stock LIKE ME>>>> IDIOTS

So, Nate, Gary, Mel and others are groveling at the feet of the FCC. Good.
Let these guys go explain how their ridiculous spending got their companies into a situation where merger is necessary for survival. These executives screwed the pooch in the management of their respective companies to the point where no one other than day traders who buy and sell on a penny move in the pps believe there is anything good about the future related to satellite radio.

Elusive profits; Having to sell almost 4 radios to get one new subscriber, counting cars on dealers' lots as paying subscribers; each copying the other's format; great advertising consisting of nothing more than ED remedies, the list goes on and on.

Why the management teams of both companies haven't been kicked out on their a$$e$ is beyond me. I. for one, am more than delighted to see the FCC go slow and impose additional burdens on these companies who together couldn't buy a $0.99 cheeseburger at McDonalds with the their profits after almost 7 years of broadcasting.

Neither Sirius nor XM could play by the rules that were set out at the beginning of the business. Let them grovel for a bit, and relinquish their "manhood" or what's left of it collectively in the executive suites.

Don't worry - the insiders will do just fine and the poor schmucks who bought into the dreams and drank the koolaid will pay the price.

At the end of the day, the management team of the consolidated company will blame the FCC for their eventual failure, but nary a word will come from the executive suites proclaiming the errors and follies of their acts.

Grovel away Mel, Nate and Gary. Let's see some more.

"At the end of the day, the management team of the consolidated company will blame the FCC for their eventual failure, but nary a word will come from the executive suites proclaiming the errors and follies of their acts."

And, HD Radio will blame the recession.

Sounds to me like AC is someones bitch, but who's bitch? who is this masked troll?

I think we will find out when the FCC investigation bumps into high gear. Someone will figure it out... COWARD!

Lets hope HEAVY FINES, JAIL TIME, and Teeth are PULLED for this ASS, as a BIG OLD YES! to "merge" MONOPOLY scheme's happens. (HA HA HA)

Remember, we are all (99.9% of the posts) idiots, and if you (00.1%) were smart you wouldn't be here.

Get lost.

Guys - let's give Gregg a break. After all, his livelihood is in the balance right now. Unless a satradio "merge" MONOPOLY somehow gets crammed down our throats thru this ridiculous Melvin Alan "Mel" Karmazin scheme satellite radio will be joining it's brother, 8 track tape in the landfill of badly executed products that got their butt beat by the competiton. Only the FCC and their educated, elected law makers can save it this time.

Go to most electronic stores online and you'll find rock bottom bargain prices on this crap.

We're almost there! The death blow to Melvin Alan "Mel" Karmazin "merge" MONOPOLY scheme, and sadly the entire satellite radio industry if we're not lucky. The death blow to blind ignorant special interest who care not about the satellite radio industry but the money they have lost making ignorant and risky investment is almost there too.

NO! to blind ignorant satradio faboys
NO! to special interest
NO! to idiot's risky investments and then 500 days of hearing their blind ignorance and desperation
NO! to "merge" MONOPOLY schemes

Sounds to me like yet another blind ignorant satradio fanboy is someones bitch, but who's bitch? who is this masked troll?

I think we will find out when the FCC investigation bumps into high gear. Someone will figure it out... COWARD!

Lets hope HEAVY FINES, JAIL TIME, and Teeth are PULLED for this ASS, as a BIG OLD NO! to "merge" MONOPOLY scheme's happens.

Sadly again lets add rude, crude, and homophobic to pocketradio's reputation. Pocketradio is so fearful and desperate he is lashing out like the child he is. Ignorance reassuring ignorance, while adding more ignorance and false information way to go pocketradio.

Pocketradio, aka (hiding behind) NAB SUCKS!!! and AC = HOMO today....

Your fear and desperation of HD Radio is getting worse. Your posts make even less sense than they ever have. The reality is setting in, Pocketradio your reputation is lower than dirt all over the net, your blog is a liability and is a JOKE to match your uneducated self. Your FUD is and will continue to be called out for the desperate, fearful, uneducated, pile of pocketradio.

Since I did not hear anything from anonymous cowards when I first posted this, I thought they may have a second chance to respond. Disclosure: Double Lifetime Sirius Subscriber, not a anonymous coward (Yes, I might be a bit biased). If Sirius/XM merger is approved, the NAB and friends will have a harder time convincing anyone to go back to terrestrial (terrible/testicle) radio. Already I had three friends/family pick up Sirius radio, and they love it as much as I do. Although Howard Stern was the icing on the cake, the music channels sold me. I got tired long ago of the same 30 songs all the time, with all the commercials. Regardless of which service you subscribe, all satellite listeners have already experienced all kinds of music/entertainment/talent unavailable or limited by the need to sell airtime and robust censorship regulation. Satellite service is paid for by the consumers, like HBO and Showtime is paid by those who choose to receive that programs. Why haven't the NAB television group seriously went after them by now? Members own them (Time Warner and CBS Corp.). That is why independent companies who innovate need to be shut down by the old guard. Can't have their piece (excluding the Clear Channel Deal with XM, naturally bastardized by commercials), so they have to grind out this merger, to the point it's damn near nonexistent. So I'm not going to DISCOVER anything new by changing my station everytime I enter a different region any time the AM/ FM/HD station drops out. When I entertain friends, I don't need to make complicated playlists on my iPod, I just tune in to what they like. Chances are good that I like their music as well. With stations with many decent formats that have been aborted just to make a buck elsewhere, TERRESTRIAL RADIO IS DEAD in my eyes. Even when I make quick trips, I have to bring my iPod/satellite radio with me to avoid the same 30 songs. Male satellite users, you ever notice how it impresses the ladies? :) OK, one thanks to Clear Channel. WDVE in Pittsburgh has the comedy bits of the morning show I do like on podcast. Now I get a laugh and not have to listen to commercials/same old playlist. HA! Since you got the idea to put commercials on the podcasts now, I can edit them out if I want. Not too much trouble. We can end the debate that XM/Sirius spends too much to hire or retain talent with two words, Rush Limbaugh (Not that I'd want him on satellite or general airwaves, anyhow). Attention NAB, Georgetown Partners, bought and paid-for congresspersons, and anonymous cowards. Your schemes did not work. Try now to deliver better radio. Deliver to the people quality. Face all kinds of audible competition with ingenuity instead of a closed fist. Peace, Milo Berrios, Greensburg, PA

OLD NEWS: On Thursday, July 17th? WTF? who cares!?

Top story should be: NEW NEWS. Like, "Shares rise on XM subscriber growth news"

and not Mel Karmazin met with Commissioners. Who cares? I should hope they are meeting... like EVERY DAY!!!!

SiXM 5 bucks by end of the year

Sure is funny watching you point fingers AC!

Trust me. You are getting it from every which way and you don't know where to turn.

AC - DEBUNKED.

Check it out AC, I can be this guy.

And you can be a COWARD.

or maybe it's me?!

"Double Lifetime Sirius Subscriber" and a double poster desperate for some truth and reality. But there really is no need to "respond" to someone who thinks it's complicated to make playlists on iPods, or to someone who is so desperate to think satellite radio "impresses the ladies". To think satellite radio only a few years ago showed promise, but now all it wants to be is a pay version of AM/FM terrestrial radio. Yet satellite radio is run by the worst management ever and seems to pick the wrong way forward at every step.

Be proud, be glad you support a MONOPOLY scheme which will kill the satradio industry. Which is proven to be not in the consumers interest. Which will take away choice, talent, content, and programming, and raise prices as you'll be paying the same or more for less. Talent, content and programming are going back to terrestrial radio, the gravy train at satellite radio, having never made a dime are out of money and in major debt, thats not going to keep talent, content and programming on satellite. Terrestrial radio has 300 million listeners, terrestrial is the radio of the MAJORITY and always will be. terrestrial radio had it and the cycle is coming around where terrestrial will have it yet again. Be proud your being duped by Melvin Alan "Mel" Karmazin "merge" MONOPOLY scheme hook, line, and sinker. Typical of a blind, ignorant, satradio fanboy.

News flash... Howard left and only a tiny minority of his loyal terrestrial listeners moved with him, IF this "merge" happens the churn away from satellite radio will be many times more than that tiny minority that signed up because of Howard. The rest of your post is textbook satradio fanboy "commercials" bla bla bla. We all hear plenty of commercials on satellite radio, and will likey hear more and more, along with the rather current repetitive playlists.

FUD the uneducated Milo, the educated have had satellite radio longer than you and know all about the games.

However, I think it's all over here when they merge, and my mom needs me to pay rent. So, please do not out me during the FCC investigation as I will need to work in web advertising again.

Wow, this is fun! AC is going wacko. (Because he lost the arguments, they will merge, and his "facts" were trampled upon by the masses.)

He still thinks he knows more than 99.9% of the people on this board, but can't figure out who has outsmarted him.

AC = DEBUNKED

HI, Mr. Anonymous Coward, I really enjoyed your educated, magna cum laude response. I must say you convinced me. Even though you didn't need to "respond" to me, I must have gotten over on you. I guess I should quit wasting my time on my iPod and ditch my Sirius. Then I can spend more waiting for the next commercial set to end on testicle radio, or I can keep getting up to change the channel. That way I don't have to concentrate on setting the mood and getting laid!!! I could be just like you!!! I can then go around worshiping David Rehr's white ass like the cool people in our society. Guys like Anonymous "Truth and Reality" Coward. That's a role model for me. I can celebrate the MONOPOLY of so many LOCAL stations being bought out by large MERGING entities over the last few years. Maybe instead of listening to satellite, where they signing deals to pay for emerging and eclectic music, I should credit the terrestrial radio groups for playing the same crap I heard a million times, until they get a little payola. Why do I need to dedicate myself for an whole hour, when I can be satisfied with "50-minute music hours?" I don't need seventy channels of commercial-free music that's not public broadcasting. Just give me sixteen channels of live remotes, used car pitches, and HD signals that drop out before I leave the city limits. It's not just Howard Stern fans that left regular radio. The churn of satellite subscribers got sick of the BS that you so admire, or are getting paid off to support, AC. Your MAJORITY is shrinking. And its taking all the advertising dollars with it. The reign of terrestrial radio is ending, you douche. EDUCATE YOURSELF! Peace, Milo Berrios, Greensburg, PA

AC you are uneducated. AC you are a LIAR. AC face reality -- You can rant and rave, but terrestrial radio is NO LONGER ACCEPTABLE to people who like music. Why is that? Because what little music they play SUCKS ASS! AC = NAB SHILL=BIG FAT LIAR

what comes first?

A)The Merger

or

B)The "Spreading Virus" 0.0 claim to call a show in the grand total of SEVEN markets get shitcanned

Bottom of the 9th, one out, no one on base.

Go Mel Go!

Did I say $4.45 for a gallon of gas? I meant $4.50. NO 6 year price freeze!

AC = NAB Fanboy!

It's good that satellite radio doesn't compete with terrestrial radio. If they did, can you imagine the opposition terrestrial and the NAB would have to this technology? They would probably resort to anything in order to destroy such a formidable potential competitor. Nothing to worry about; terrestrial says that satellite doesn't compete with them. I am so relieved. Holy shit, I was having a bad dream! I don't have to worry about this scenario becoming reality. What a nightmare that would be!

Dear Mr. Adelstein,
I really appreciate your proposal of a six year price freeze on satellite radio's rates! You really care about me and all the consumers out there. I mean, that 43 cents a day is killing me, especially in light of the bad economy and everything. Your idea just might keep me from getting evicted. Can you believe that my gas,electric,cable,phone (and cell phone),internet,garbage removal and water rates go up all the time!? You aren't going to believe this, but there is nothing I can do about this situation. I so wish that there was someone like you to protect me, a powerless consumer, from getting abused like this. Bless you, Mr. Adelstein, for having so much empathy for the consumers in this country. I will save so much money on this luxury pay service that paying all those other, constantly escalating NECESSITIES is going to be a piece of cake! Is this country great, or what!!

Pocketradio your desperate games are known, your fooling NO ONE with you fear and desperation. Nothing but a ignorant clown desperate to FUD the uneducated. Just reading any of your posts all over the net anyone and vveryone who is educated knows:

Wow Milo Berrios Greensburg, PA,

You proved yourself exactly to idiot we all think you are. Another ignorant bitch who thinks the sun rises and sets with sat radio. You got nothing over on anyone here, other than your desperation to show your part of the small minority of blind, ignorant, satradio fanboys.

Your too ignorant to know but Melvin Alan "Mel" Karmazin who you go around worshiping had a large hand in the large MERGING terrestrial radio entities over the last few years, you know as a member of the NAB.

Perhaps some day you'll get a education, but it's not looking good, you have alot to learn. Better to keep it zipped instead of again proving your ignorance.

Pocketradio's blog, posts have been rendered null and void net wide. His blog is most likely going to get him hauled into court with liable charges. He and his fear, desperation, rude, crude, homophobic, posting are a mess and he hasn't been able to leave his mom's basement as network wide he and his uneducated FUD is being called out. Funny pocketradio is so ignorant he thinks his games fool people, and that he could get away with posting complete BS without being called out, DEBUNKED and labeled as the TROLL he is.

Pocketradio your games of desperation are painfully obvious to anyone who's had more than a high school education, your fooling NO ONE with you fear and desperation. Only proving without a doubt your nothing but a ignorant clown desperate to FUD the uneducated.

Everyone who is educated, around the net knows:

Pocketradio - TROLL
Pocketradio - DEBUNKED

if we are a small minority of ignorant satradio fanboys (god i hate that fucking term - like i jerk off all day to satellite radio b/c i appreciate decent content?!) why do you care so much? why spend so much time focusing on this 'small' ignorant group? Shouldn't you have bigger issues to deal with? More pressing 'competitors'?

"if we are a small minority of ignorant satradio fanboys (god i hate that fucking term - like i jerk off all day to satellite radio b/c i appreciate decent content?!) why do you care so much? why spend so much time focusing on this 'small' ignorant group? Shouldn't you have bigger issues to deal with? More pressing 'competitors'?

Now guys,why do you keep making fun of me? why? I have been told by my mom to copy and paste content and post my FUD under multiple names. i jerk off all day to satellite radio, that way I feel the advertisers pay more!

However, It's all over here merge or no merge, and my mom needs me to pay rent. So, please do not continue to out me during the FCC investigation as I will need to work in web advertising again.

AC your arguments are week (which you lost), you hide (which makes you a coward), you copy paste (which means you can't think for yourself) and then...

You pick on people directly (who use their name) and then claim nobody can pick on you.

EDUCATE YOURSELF, YOU ASS - GROW A SPINE!

Pocketradio's blog, posts have been rendered null and void net wide. His blog is most likely going to get him hauled into court with liable charges. He and his fear, desperation, rude, crude, homophobic, posting are a mess and he hasn't been able to leave his mom's basement as network wide he and his uneducated FUD is being called out. Funny pocketradio is so ignorant he thinks his games fool people, and that he could get away with posting complete BS without being called out, DEBUNKED and labeled as the TROLL he is.

Pocketradio your games of desperation are painfully obvious to anyone who's had more than a high school education, your fooling NO ONE with you fear and desperation. Only proving without a doubt your nothing but a ignorant clown desperate to FUD the uneducated.

AC,
I believe you are a FRAUD. You are really a lifetime Sirius subscriber, and you are jerking off to the ABBA channel with one extremely calloused hand while typing with the other. You use different aliases because your balls are the size of mustard seeds, you live with your mom, and you are depressed because your only sex partner, a blow up doll you bought on E-bay, ended up in a landfill due to your latex allergy. You need to get "a" education, as you have so incorrectly stated and written in the past. You are a nobody going nowhere. Have a nice day, you ASS.
