An Orbitcast reader found this ad in today's Daily Variety with some pretty bold copy that Fox News will be exclusive with XM Satellite Radio come 2006. We heard about this possibility a little while back in October and this ad is a strong hint towards exactly that. If true, which it's still not 100% confirmed, what would this mean for the Sirius / Fox News relationship?

Thanks SATRADFAN! 

Daily Wireless has some speculation about exactly that. Spurred by DirecTV CEO Chase Carey’s comments that they are planning to work with “an array of partners” to bring video programming to devices other than TV. Specifically he mentioned that at CES 2006, DirecTV will have “a fair amount of devices of our own.”

“That is going to be how you continue to expand the DirecTV experience beyond simply television.”

Daily Wireless points at the XM and DirecTV partnership as well as XM’s attempt to acquire WCS as hints towards what could be coming down the pipe. Very interesting stuff indeed.
