Fool Video: Can the iPod and Satellite Radio Live in Harmony?

Recs

4

Shares of Cox Radio (NYSE: CXR) hit a 10-year low this week; shares of XM Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: XMSR) and Sirius (Nasdaq: SIRI) continue to flounder as well. And while shares of Clear Channel (NYSE: CCU) have bounced back recently, shares of traditional broadcasters like Citadel (NYSE: CDL) and CBS (NYSE: CBS) trade around their 52-week lows. So is satellite radio the wave of the future or just a passing fad? Can XM and Sirius peacefully coexist with Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) and its iPod, or is it winner-take-all? In this installment of "Fool Video," Motley Fool senior analyst Rick Munarriz gives his take.
