The merger between Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. and XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. has yet to be officially consumated, apparently because of a hold-up in a single vote on the consent decree. So what's the hold up? FCC Chairman Kevin Martin is, according to reports.
A Broadcasting & Cable source said that Commissioner Tate wasn't planning to vote to approve the merger until the FCC enforcement action was taken. But Tate has already cast her vote for the decree along with Commissioner Robert McDowell.
Both of the commission Democrats, Copps and Adelstein, have not vote for the enforcement action yet either, according to a source. But they're already on record opposing the merger, so they are unlikely to do so anyway.
So that leaves Martin, who's still the missing vote.
All he needs to do is cast his vote to issue the consent decree, and the historically long merger review will finally be wrapped up. It's unclear what the hold-up is, and no one was available in the chairman's office to respond to B&C's inquires.
And so, into the weekend we go...

Well you know how it is, once you see two hot lesbians kissing on some back-alley website, you just don't have time for anything else.
dispute between two Republican commissioners at the Federal Communications Commission left the impending approval of Sirius Satellite Radio Inc.'s purchase of XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. on hold Friday afternoon.
For two days, Republican Commissioner Deborah Taylor Tate has been expected to cast the final vote on the merger, after reaching a deal in principle with the companies to settle several outstanding enforcement issues with a $19.7 million fine.
She still hasn't voted, however, because of a disagreement with FCC Chairman Kevin Martin.
Which article is true WSJ or the one above?
BIZARRE....the gang that couldn't shoot straight. I have lost all faith in the Dems. Nancy and whats his name leave me cold. Sorry Louise Slaughter (D-NY) for the first time in eight elections I will be voting for the other guy.. who ever he is. AND he is a Republican....so am I.
As Martin; "Hmm, I'll start with the Y, hmm I'm a bit hungry, 1 hour later. Move into the E, Oh I have to work on some other things right quick, 2 days later, let me get my pen for the last letter, opps Forgot to make supper and clean the house. A few days later. Let me start that S. Darn my pen is out of ink.
WILL THIS CRAP EVER END????????????!!!!!!!!!!!
The stalemate continued Friday afternoon over the XM Satellite Radio-Sirius Satellite Radio merger, which was turning into a game of who blinks first.
The merger had been pronounced all but consummated Thursday, but by late Friday there was not deal and most FCC staffers had gone home.
According to a source close to the chairman's side of the negotiations, commissioner Deborah Taylor Tate, FCC chairman Kevin Martin’s fellow Republican, had not yet signaled her willingness to sign off on the merger.
According to the source, Tate approached Martin saying that she would vote in favor of the merger if the enforcement actions against XM and Sirius were approved.
But Martin has not cast the third vote for approving the consent decree because "he has no indications at this time that Tate is willing to approve the merger," the source said.
The source added that it is Tate's move to let the chairman know she is ready to vote to approve, at which time he will cast the third vote for the enforcement actions.
Tate's office was unavailable for comment, but sources close to the commissioner said she was not prepared to vote on the merger until there had been a vote to improve the enforcement action, which would require XM and Sirius to pony up a combined $20 million to settle complaints over its unauthorized placement of equipment and excessive power levels

It looks like she hasn't voted yet........
whats all this blaming the DEMS????
The republicans have the FUCKING MAJORITY IN THE FCC!!!!
And it's MARTIN & TATE....BOTH REPUBLICANS.....who are now holding this up.
it could be over NOW.....but these two FUCKHEADS are bickering like little children.
oh....and did i mention they are BOTH REPUBLICANS?????????
Does anyone think Now has anything to add or is he just here trolling and desperate to prove his ignorance?

Who cares?
Why does it matter so much to people if the merger goes through or not. I'm beginning to hate Orbitcast because it's become totally obsessed about the Merger and not really covering as much. Who really cares if it takes another week or month.
Nobody really cares about the long-term effects of the merger anymore--I don't hear any criticism or coverage about the merger and its possible negative effects. It seems people are more obsessed with hating the FCC and terrestrial radio (and in AC's case hating the haters), than having intelligent discussion.
I piss on you Martin. Yes, and you love it too.
splash, splash, splash
Good point liam, but you should already know Republicans aways try and divert blame for all their f*ckups and blame the Dem's.
Why is everyone(including Howard Stern) blaming the DEMS on the merger delay?
Sure, in a loser move, DEM Adelstein first voted FOR the merger with conditions before flip flopping and then immediately voting AGAINST it.
But what people fail to remember is that THE REPUBLICANS HAVE the FUCKING MAJORITY IN THE FCC!!!!
THEY CONTROLLED the destiny of this merger from the very beginning 18 FUCKING MONTHS AGO!!!
And it's MARTIN & TATE....BOTH REPUBLICANS.....who are now holding this up in the final hours.
it could be over NOW.....THIS SECOND....but these two FUCKHEADS are bickering like little children.
oh....and did i mention they are BOTH REPUBLICANS?????????
So stop blaming the DEMS....it's the REPUBLICANS who shoulder more of the blame.
JRT,
"Nobody really cares about the long-term effects of the merger anymore--I don't hear any criticism or coverage about the merger and its possible negative effects.

We can't talk about what this "merge" MONOPOLY scheme means to subscribers because then everyone would have to admit cheering for "merge" was just about the dumbest thing a subscriber could do. We can't talk about what the lack of choice of satradio providers really means to consumers. We can't talk about the FACT we'll be paying more for less. We can't talk about all the talent, programming, and content which will have to be let go or sign for a fraction of what they are making now. We can't talk about direct competition of the satradio providers being the best thing for consumers and the providers too, why would we talk about what the lack of competition is going to mean to subscribers?
There is going to be a whole lot of "I wish I didn't told you so" when reality and truth come out of whats left when it comes to this "merge" MONOPOLY scheme.
Thank you liam for pointing out the fact that the majority of delayers are Republicans. Statements of the Howard Sterns of the world like “I’ll never vote again for a Democrat” is childish grandstanding. If one of the group were Christian, another Jewish, another Muslim, another gay, another straight would that matter at all? We have to get away from the thinking of the 1950s. Don’t forget we are talking about technology of the 21st century. It’s time we all grow up too! A jerk of any kind is a jerk, without needing us to classify the entire group they belong to.
I'm not gonna lie, AC you're a dick.
The reality is that if they didn't merge, there wouldn't be any satellite radio. I'd rather have a monopoly where I have the OPTION of paying for commercial free music, rather than no option and listening to terrestrial.
No Merger = No Satellite
Despite what the companies have said, we all know the writing on the wall that two single-entities with their amounts of debt have.
TURN THE GREEN BUTTON OFF ON MARTIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a royal collection of fuck heads and cunts.
"Who cares? Why does it matter so much to people if the merger goes through or not. I'm beginning to hate Orbitcast because it's become totally obsessed about the Merger and not really covering as much. Who really cares if it takes another week or month."
Obviously, the only important consideration is that HD Radio is not mandated into Satrad receivers:
1) Confirm merger without HD Radio mandate, or
2) Deny the merger.
That's all folks!
I bet that I hate Struble more than you hate Orbitcast.
Matt, NO sorry YOUR the rude, crude, troll.
"if they didn't merge, there wouldn't be any satellite radio" "No Merger = No Satellite"
Says who? you better be able to prove that 100% before spouting off BS proving 100% of your blind, ignorance. Who says? Who told you that? And worse you believed it hook, line and sinker. FOOL. So in your blind, ignorant mind 2 companies with smaller amounts a debt and consumer good will is "no satradio" and one company with a HUGE amount of debt, pissed off consumers paying more for less, subscribers who have their channels removed due to "merge" MONOPOLY scheme is a better option?
YOU have LOTS to learn.
Prove it Matt, along with proving your blind ignorance. Also why not discuss what JRT is asking instead of your blind, ignorant trolling games?
Dispute at FCC Puts XM-Sirius Deal on Hold
By AMY SCHATZ
July 25, 2008 6:29 p.m.
…Indeed, while the two regulators were playing a Friday afternoon game of chicken, a new draft of an order to approve the merger circulated among the five commissioners for review.
It wasn’t significantly different from a previous version, one FCC official said. It now includes several references to the accompanying enforcement order. IT WOULD REQUIRE THE AGENCY TO START AN INQUIRY INTO WHETHER SATELLITE RADIOS SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO COME INCLUDED WITH TECHNOLOGY THAT WOULD ALLOW THEM TO PICK-UP DIGITAL SIGNALS FROM LOCAL RADIO STATIONS.
@ AC:" We can't talk about what this "merge" MONOPOLY scheme means to subscribers because then everyone would have to admit cheering for "merge" was just about the dumbest thing a subscriber could do."
Since you're biggest asshole on this forum how would you know? LOL! What a sorry little putz!
Hoohoo i invented the FCC Robin. They're Howard Stern imitators. I invented mergers they're all ripping me off tell em Robin.
As far as the merger goes people like me just want the thing over with already vote yes vote no just stop taking so long with it. Should it fail there will be life after satellite radio.
Looks like it is just you.
Putz
Oh and we turn to satellite radio because we DON'T want the local stations.
AC\PCSTEL do you have a smart response to that?
LOL

ALOT of people care. I want to see this done with.

WHAT ABOUT THE SHAREHOLDERS--you freaking dicks....
Beware of AC. A lot of people are very interested in the merger. If these companies do not merge, then the future of satrad becomes uncertain. Trust me ALOT of people care including the NAB, GTPartners, the FCC, customers, shareholders, Auto Manufacturers, and music fans. The question is, why is AC\PCSTEL so against the merger?
OH THE DRAMA!!!

Federal regulators have formally approved the merger of XM Satellite Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio, ending a 16-month-long drama closely watched by Washington and Wall Street.
- WSJ Top story through AIM
Does Sirius report on Monday & will there be a conference call unlike XM, anybody?
Now it will be interesting to see if the NAB or any of the other opponents will try to bog this thing down in appeals and/or the courts. I just have a really bad feeling that this mess isn't over just yet.
Finally. Finally a victory for the American consumer! That's what this merger was all about. The consumer is the big winner from this!

3 Scources say it's done, but it is a blank on the FCC's website. WHATS UP?
"no guarantee for success: Not only is subscriber growth slowing, but the vast majority of new satellite radio "subscribers" just happen to be buying a new car -- and get stuck with a built-in radio and free service. There's no guarantee they'll keep it once it starts costing money, and they're getting more competing services every day -- like the awesome, free radio apps on Apple's (AAPL) iPhone."
Friday evening in Washington DC, is all. Everyone went home except the commissioners and security guards. And Ryan has also stepped out at an inopportune time, unless he's reprogramming the clock. Matters not, merger's on.
What Happens To XM (XMSR) And Sirius (SIRI) After A Merger? Not Much, And That's A Problem
http://www.alleyinsider.com/2008/6/xm_sirius_subscriber_growth_really_is_slowing_reason_to_worry_
XM and Sirius will eventually (but not immediately) be able to cut costs. But the demand curve isn't going to change just because the two have combined.
Satellite radios are no longer selling at retail (sales are off 35% across the board), which means both Sirius and XM are relying on new car activations to fuel growth -- and it's shaping up as a bad year for Detroit. And competition for consumers' minds and wallets only continues to increase.

FCC Chairman Kevin Martin confirmed the final vote Friday night.
"I think it's going to be, in the end, a good thing for consumers and be in the public interest," he told The Associated Press.
"I THINK" WTF Kevin?
"They kept each other on their toes," FCC commissioner Jonathan Adelstein said of the two companies. "I hope they keep their edge and don't become a fat and happy monopoly."
I just saw it scroll by on Fox News. FCC approved the merger. Is that true?

Watch the buyer end up being an NAB member company, or a cooperative of them....such as Clear Channel, Infinity (CBS Radio), Citadel, etc. LOL
This took 18 months? ........No wonder America is broken.
"Watch the buyer end up being an NAB member company, or a cooperative of them....such as Clear Channel, Infinity (CBS Radio), Citadel, etc. LOL"

The FCC would approve that deal in record time.
Now,
The future is very dark.....for terrestrial! Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now,
Check this out - AC and PCSTEL drove by my house, and SIRIUS was blaring out of the cars windows! Is that WHACK or what?! They were driving an AMC PACER, and one of the bumper stickers said "ASSHOLES ON BOARD". Those rascals!!
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Ryan just e-mailed me and said he'd be posting the news soon. Apparently, when this was announced, he jumped up and down so hard, he fainted and recently just came to. I personally think he's nailing Tate before she departs for Nashville.
Better him than us I'm thinking.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go calculate my gains on this "risky investment".
The era of XM-Sirius Radio has begun (and yes, that is the new name for those of you who can't read)
so what now? is the stock going to take a mysterious freakin' dive monday morning??????????? great news, the approval (finally)!!!! but, what about the stock going up??? i'll celebrate when it goes UP!!!!!!
Saw Now, Anonymous Warrior, Matt and Pocketradio ride by the area today on the short bus. They each had those weird looking helmets on for some reason, guess the blind ignorance throws them into desperate and fearful fits and they are worried about them hitting their heads too hard. Oh forgot to mention they were all drooling and chanting "Melvin Alan "Mel" Karmazin's "merge" MONOPOLY scheme.
AC, pack up your gear and go home. The game is over, you lost. Ain't no use in standin' around talkin' smack - ain't gonna change anything. Just git on home, boy.
artful dodger,
One - You tell no one what to do.
Two - Don't continue to fool yourself, subscribers of satradio have all lost ue to this "merge" MONOPOLY scheme. You might not figure it out for awhile (due to your lack of education) but having 2 companies directly competing was much better for subscribers and the industry.
Wake up artful dodger, educate yourself.

5 Reasons a Merger Won't Save XM and Sirius
By David LaGesse
Posted June 16, 2008
Word came early today that the Federal Communications Commission appeared likely to let satellite radio pioneers XM and Sirius come together. The companies say they need to merge to keep their business thriving in the face of growing competition. Ha. If they thought they had problems, it's gotten worse in the 16 months that their merger proposal has languished in Washington bureaucracy.
Subscription growth at both XM and Sirius has dramatically slowed, as Silicon Alley Insider recently showed. The companies partly blame the slow economy and confusion caused by the drawn-out merger approval. But at least five competitors are on the rise that could help snuff satellite radio:
The iPod. It was one thing to have consumers carrying their portable music with them on streets, subways, and planes. But car-trapped listeners are the core audience for satellite radio, and most new dashboard stereos have jacks for attaching MP3 players. That allows people to be their own DJ, no longer subject to the blandness of conventional radio and less hungry for the niche stations on satellite.
Digital radio. New digital broadcasts answer satellite's sound quality. With the new technology, traditional radio stations now promise CD-quality music over FM broadcasts. The increased efficiency of digital tech means the stations can also offer subchannels of alternative streams. The digital broadcasts require new receivers to be heard, but prices are coming down and more cars are rolling off assembly lines with the capability.
Internet radio. Listeners can get thousands of radio stations streaming around the world across the Web, making webcasts a major competitor to all other forms of streaming music, talk, and news. Some of the programming comes from traditional broadcasters, but many more are from amateurs and pros with their own webcasts. The only question is how to get Internet radio when on the move, and that question is already being answered by numerous wireless technologies.
Cellphones. New, high-speed data networks mean people can get music streamed to their cellphones, many of which can double as media players and attach to car stereos. Some carriers already offer their own streaming music services. But wireless Internet also means that Web radio can compete with satellite wherever people are—or drive. You can check out a new application that iPhoneAtlas.com says will be available soon for the iPhone that will ease listening to Web radio via AOL.
WiMax. Streaming music over a new wireless network with purported superbroadband speeds remains a vague promise for the future (which is true of just about anything to do with WiMax). But WiMax backers say it could replace just about anything now delivered by satellite, cellphone, or even broadcast. At least one radio professional has tested Internet radio across WiMax, reporting with enthusiasm on Kurt Hanson's Radio and Internet Newsletter blog.

I too just now heard the news about the merger being approved.
I didn't think it was a good idea for Orbitcast to report "DONE DEAL" before it was actually a done deal. Superstition perhaps.
