      <title>The Hypocracy of Minority Ownership</title>
      <guid>http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/2380311</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[It seems like the the buzz phrases surrounding the merger at this point are “HD Radio” and “Minority Ownership”. I will leave HD radio for another post, and focus this one on Minority Ownership.<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/2380311>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The NAB, iBiquity, and virtually every congressman and Attorney General who steps in to this circus that we call a merger has been asking for the inclusion of HD chips into Satellite Radios. Of course, they never once mention who should pay for the design<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/2380306>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <title>Ibiquity Fears Open Access Will Not Help Adoption Of HD Radio</title>
      <guid>http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/2374598</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[In a meeting held with FCC commissioner Tate, Ibiquity outlined fears that the open access condition proposed in the merger between Sirius and XM would not ensure that HD radio chipsets get installed into receivers capable of receiving SDARS signals.It is ironic that open access is heralded as a concept that is pro consumer, and a concept that gives consumers a better chance of getting what they want at a reasonable price. How then can something such as open access leave HD radio behind?Perhaps HD radio is seeing what Pioneer sees.

      <title>Terrestrial Radios Free Ride</title>
      <guid>http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/2374592</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[In a filing by the National Association of Broadcasters, there seems to be concern that satellite radio threatens the very viability and existence of AM, FM, and HD radio in cars. What a concept. Terrestrial radio is a wonderful service, and does indeed provide great programming, but to say that SDARS will push terrestrial radio out of cars is taking a bit too far is it not?In thinking more deeply about what the NAB is saying, it highlights a fact that many often overlook. Terrestrial radio has gotten a free ride. Terrestrial pays no subsidies to install radios into vehicles. Not one thin dime is paid to Ford, GM, Toyota, Honda, etc. from terrestrial radio. Cars simply come with radios because that is what is expected. If radio makes billions in ad revenue, none is shared with Ford, GM, etc. In fact, the auto manufacturers get charg<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/2374592>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <title>Terrestrial Wants In On Merger</title>
      <guid>http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/2374454</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[Months ago, when Georgetown Partners began their quest for 20% of the SDARS spectrum, I composed a list of questions that I felt should be answered. Among those questions was whether Georgetown was looking to build their own satellite radio company, or merely going to act as an “auctioneer” of channels to terrestrial radio broadcasters.What I noted then was that Davenport lacked radio experience. I found it odd that someone would seek 20% of the SDARS spectrum (about 60 channels), and not have a plan as to how to fill that spectrum with content. I alleged at that time that perhaps the plan was to grab the channels, and then go to terrestrial radio giants like Clear Channel, CBS, etc. and offer them blocks of channels that would be available in every market.I also found it odd that the National Association of Broadca<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/2374454>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <title>June 2008 Auto Sales And SDARS Relationships</title>
      <guid>http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/2373946</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[Auto sales are down. This has been the month after month news item for most auto manufacturers. With the exception of a few bright spots, the entire auto industry is in a slump. With high gas prices, many companies are offering clearance price on what are now considered gas guzzling trucks and SUV’s. Four cylinder cars are now the hot commodity, and even many of these simply are not selling at the needed pace.For satellite radio sector watchers, the slumping sales in the OEM channel is an undertone that, coupled with the lack of a merger decision, makes many investors have pause in the sector. In an environment where...<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/2373946>[More...]</a>]]></description>
