Is Sirius XM Resorting to Secondhand Content?

  No need to worry. Sirius content is second to none and will continue to be so without exception. Now that interest in Siri stock is on the increase and free cash flow continues to build, we can expect to see additional premium content as well. Can't wait to see all the features Siri 2.0 brings.

  More content I feel is better no matter how Sirius XM gets it.

  George Noory of coast to coast is also on XM radio. I am surprised there has been hardly any mention of it?

  Coast to Coast

  SIRIUS XM Satellite Radio - XM TALK 168

  Sunday through Friday: 10p-6a PT/1a-9a ET

  You fail to mention.....if a radio show is on Sirius XM you can hear it anywhere in the United States. You can hear it while traveling or anywhere else.

  That is not possible with AM/FM or internet Radio.

  AM/FM Radio would be wise to have their shows broadcast over SIRIUS XM.

  Rick,

  You're an idiot. As is your editor who allowed you to put a BS title for this useless article. Second Hand content??? Who cares if it's first, second, third or 5th!?!??! The bottom line is the Sirius is the STILL the only radio provider to broadcast this "content".

  Btw, how did SIRI do today with the terrible news of Rosie's Second Hand deal?

  Like is said....you're an idiot and so is your editor

  Ditto. Further, it saddens me to know that articles like this are allowed to be posted. In fact, I am grieving so much, that I will not click on other MF articles since they also will most likely be lacking in substance.

  programs like stern and rosie are not attractive for me or my family. Additional balanced debates on the political issues would be very welcome.

  Help wanted station would be very welcome.

  Sports of all types from all over the world would be very welcome.

  Investment advise following the market live every day from professionals would be very exciting.

  Thanks for this, Rick. You can feel free to ignore comments from anyone who cannot differentiate between "dribble" and "drivel," or who thinks that "a lot" is one word, but would never write "alittle."

  These are indeed exciting and interesting times, and I for one appreciate your comments.

  Rosie?? Anyone subscribing to Sirius XM just to listen to her should be charged double.

  I would not listen to her if it were free.

  You should re-evaluate your articles before posting. Ya gotta think man.

  Rosie??? Really???

  This article is weak; the old bait and switch.

  Tempt them with content and fill it with BS in a weak attemtp to create doubt in readers' minds about SIRI viability.

  Got a big short position to cover, do ya???

  Rosie never been my cup of tea, however she dose have a lot and I will say it again a lot of women followers. Now how many women drive cars in todays world? Get the picture as to where Mel is going. Don't underestimate what Mel is doing it has back fired on many shorts. This is a game that Mel has control of and knows what he is doing. Stay Long with Sirius XM.

  I have only this to say:

  I really get tired of all the fools such as Rick Aristotle Munarriz who continue to bash SIRI.... Especially now that at least one of the fools has short the stock after failing to predict the rise in the stock price following the Q1 report...

  It seems now that the rise in the stock price has failed to cooperate with the fools prediciton of it to fall back for more than a few hours, the fools have chosen to short the stock and now are bashing it to hopefully make their latest short prediction happen....

  I would like to see the fools find a new stock to play their games with...

  @ FM5, Siridouche is still waiting for that reverse split that'll never happen.

  It's also funny how Fool writers, like Tim Beyers aren't doing anymore articles on SIRI. He was against the stock, since it was 15 pennies. When it got to $1.30 he was still negative. So I said, well don't buy Tim, and miss another 50% higher. He replied that I am "full of hot air". Hahaha, now who's full of hot air?

  It's all right here: http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2010/10/14/why-this-is...

  Wow, SIRI fanboys jumping all over every single negative article. Don't get me wrong, I've been long since $1.50, but you guys don't need to be taking potshots at the author for expressing his opinion. You can disagree with him without insulting him, have a little class.

  Rick,

  Why abet? What is the message? I am relly confused. Is the "second hand" good or bad? Is still having Rosie good or bad? Is CNBC, NFL, NBA, etc. also second hand because it is on TV? I would still try to figure out why I am posting under such titles in the first place and what I am trying to achieve? Irritation of your readers and diminished respect? Or you did not have anything to say and decided to do this and that? Come on, Rick!!! Do not humiliate yourself with such extraterrestrial stuff targeting aliens... or moronic herd that you are trying to boo with sirius' ""second hand content". Even their "second hand" is ten times better than anybody's "first hand". Rick, I told you earlier that you should climb back on sirius's pedestal, or there may not be any room left for those who used to post reasonable stuff longer before than any "fool".

  Rick, you have been writting some good articles about Sirus that were "Right On". Sirus is the Best Product on the Market and truthfully, Rosie is just a filler. Nobody buys the Sirus product to listen to Rosie. Get back to the truth of touting Sirus as being undervalued and no doubt the BEST Radio Service in North America. Sirus to $8-$12 in 2 years (just my educated opinion).

  Rick,

  Per your quote:

  "Will Sirius XM listeners feel cheated? "We don't know how many listeners migrated to satellite radio to catch the 2009 debut of Rosie Radio."

  I guess am lost with your vague cheated remark/question.

  Where or what led you to think that ONE show on their 100+ channel network, will have any impact on its customers?? That's why they offer MULTIPLE choices for every type of listener! If you don't like the show, then move on to another channel!! Make sense?

  Then you follow with another ignorant statement: "We don't know how many listeners migrated to satellite radio to catch the 2009 debut of Rosie

  Radio."

  If you don't know, shouldn't you get the fact first or keep your mouth shut??

  Well..... now i feel cheated, for wasting my time reading your biased/ignorant article.

  But guess what, who cares!! I still love to reading news about SIRI whether its ignorant, biased, or crazy. :).

  p.s. how is that SHORT working out for ya!??

  just like you, thousands of others also have opinions about Rck's articles, that you and I may not agree with. But hey, that's the nature of Ricks business.

  If he doesn't like it, he could quit (which i doubt it) or he could write his OPINIONATED articles with more FACTS!

  What you think?? :)

  Sirius' content is junk and not worth the monthly expense. When they do raise rates, a lot of people who have not cancelled because of the infamous Sirius '3 free month' extensions they get when they call, will dump this useless gimmick. Same worn out playlists as terrestrial radio and nothing else worthwhile.

Guess "junk" is really popular lol.

  Rick,

  Have you not learned that you are supposed to save the Sirius articles for the Foolanthropy drive? All an article on SIRI does is stoke the fanatics who respond with incoherent, but highly persistent nonsense.
