Mel Karmazin will discuss the proposed merger of Sirius and XM at a National Press Club luncheon on Monday, July 23rd.

The National Press Club luncheon will begin at 12:30pm and Karmazin's remarks will begin just after 1:00pm, followed by a Q&A session.

If you're in the Washington, DC area and would like to attend, the cost of the luncheon is $16 for members, $28 for members' guests, and $35 general admission. You can also hear a variety of NPC Luncheon speakers and more on Saturdays at 11pm ET on XM Public Radio (ch 133). Or you can listen to archived versions online.

(Side note: remember it was at the National Press Club that NAB President David Rehr noted that the competitors to terrestrial radio are satellite radio, internet radio, iPods, cellphones, etc. Watch the video here.)
