Part of O&A's shtick is that they are the bad boys who go father than they are supposed to. How can you be a shock jock if the management doesn't get mad at you...you must not be pushing it far enough. Ten-to-one says this is a PR move in order to re-affirm their reps as shock-jocks, and for XM to save face with the FCC..."See, we discipline the bad boys...you don't need to regulate us..."
I sincerely doubt that this is a PR shtick. Al Sharpton weighed in on it. In the wake of his other recent bullshit, there is little doubt in my mind that XM reacted in a way as to show Washington that they are willing to be a good little company in order to have the merger with Sirius approved.
XM just lost 6% of their subscriber base in just over 4 hours. Imagine what that number will jump to when all the fans without internet don't hear the boys tomorrow.

I'm sick to my stomach about this.
