According to a number of filings with the FCC, top executives from Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. and XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. met with Commissioners and their offices earlier this week.
Mel Karmazin, CEO of Sirius, and Gary Parsons, Chairman of XM, met with the offices of Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein, as well as directly with Commissioner Robert McDowell, and Commissioner Michael Copps on Tuesday.
On the day prior to the meetings, Copps issued as statement about the Sirius-XM merger:
“I’ve said from the beginning, this merger is a steep climb for me.
That hasn’t changed,” Copps said. “I look forward to
reviewing the chairman’s proposal and will consider it with an open
mind.”
Whether or not Karmazin and Parsons’ meetings with Copps managed to persuade him otherwise will yet to be seen.
