The Consumer Coalition for Competition in Satellite Radio (C3SR) has presented another ex parte filing to the FCC to reiterate its call for a hearing to look into the "lack of candor" that XM and Sirius Satellite Radio have offered in their efforts to merge into one satcaster. C3SR says the FCC hearing also must examine whether the merger would be "contrary to the public interest." This from the FMQB website. What is the FMQB? It is the Friday Morning Quarterback: "super-serve's radio programming and management executives, as well as music industry executives, with finely targeted original content delivered in its venerable monthly magazine, or daily via its industry leading Web site. I never heard of it, but a Yahoo search inquiring about the status of the Sirius XM merger has this as the latest news. If you care for additional information go to: http://www.fmqb.com/article.asp?id=741094&spid=1314 Truckers, we can only hope this nonsense comes to an end soon and the merger is approved. The FCC is (hopefully, finally, will quite probably) rule on this (sometime, later) this month, hopefully this year - 2008. The photo/diagram logotype should be the new symbol for the, if approved, merged companies.
