The battle for control of Sirius XM Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI) has intensified. Liberty Media (Nasdaq: LMCA) is once again petitioning the FCC for de facto control of the satellite-radio provider.

Liberty Media was denied in its original application, even though it owned 40% of the company through its preferred shares. It has gone on to increase its position to an effective stake of 46.2%.

The satellite-radio giant isn't taking things lying down. However, investors hoping for a juicy premium are seeing Liberty Media seize control in strategic nibbles. Things are getting interesting here, and this saga -- more than three years in the making -- is heating up.
