XM-Sirius MergerI wanted to ignore this - because it’s just so outlandish and completely incorrect - but I’ve been getting so many emails all day that this post simply needs to be addressed.

A recent post on The Consumerist which features the wonderfully scandalous headline: XM-Sirius Merger Will Double Monthly Prices? is wrong. Pure and simple, wrong.

According to “a customer service rep” (-10 points instantly), a tipster has told the normally-useful blog that XM Radio’s prices will “roughly double” by May.

Here’s what was supposedly said:

“This is strictly confidential, but all the paperwork is signed and
ready to go, and XM has fully acquired Sirius Radio. Come May, there
will be a substantial price increase for XM Radio, as it will, in June
or so, host all the Sirius channels. It would be best to simply extend
your XM plan as we will honor your current contract price per month
before we begin hosting the Sirius stations.”

How many holes do you see in that statement?

CheeeeeeeeseThe problem I have is that ]
Thanks to everyone who sent this in!
