Yesterday, shareholders of both Sirius and XM Radio approved the proposed $5 billion sale of XM Radio to Sirius.  I have reported on the merger news in the past, but yesterday the shareholders voted.  The proposed merger still needs the OK from the FCC and the Department of Justice.  As an XM-radio subscriber, I still think it is a bad idea, but I may be in the minority on this.  What are your thoughts on the proposed merger?  Feel free to post a comment.  See my previous posts:  Satellite Radio to Offer Different Plan Options, XM+Sirius Merger Thoughts from ZDNet, Sirius and XM To Merge.
