The Tennessee Association of Broadcasters (also known as... TAB) met with FCC Commissioner
Tate on April 6th. Guess what they wanted to talk about?
If you guessed the Sirius-XM merger, then you win a lollypop. According to an electronically filed letter to the FCC yesterday, executives from TAB, Clear Channel, The Crowmwell Group and South Central Communications discussed their concerns about the XM-Sirius merger and "its adverse impact on free radio and listeners."
In the same meeting, they discussed "the need for local radio ownership deregulation" with Commissioner Tate. (Isn't that ironic? Asking for deregulation and regulation at the same time?)

"its adverse impact on free radio and listeners."
How could this be? Jimmy Schaeffler says Satellite Radio is not competition to terrestrial broadcasters. It is ludicrous statement to say the SIRIUS/XM merger will have an adverse effect on free radio.

=======================================================
How is is their concern how a merger affects free listeners when XM/Sirius are a pay service? Can you say Oxymoron... or is it just Moron... what do you think Craker?
