2. early this morning the discusion got hot

Edited on Wed Apr-13-05 01:07 AM by nadinbrzezinski

as of May First AA will exclusively be carried by XM, so if you have not gotten your shiny Satellite and want to get it for AA... I'd wait

By the way, it was a bidness decision.. and yes they are on the air to make money

7. I wouldn''t make that bet, Roscoe...

There's still time for Sirius to make an offer to the individual radio shows on AAR (all of which are available for syndication). Mel Karmazin's a brilliant guy and must know how valuable AAR programming is.

And, why wait to make that donation?:eyes:

9. actually, the comment the 'bet' was directed at was...

"sorry but sirius is NOT getting rid of AA in full form"

not keeping individual shows (which is possible I suppose).

12. Call AAR, ask them.

Sirius is out of luck. I blame AAR for drawing us in, getting us to buy Sirius at high cost, then dropping us for monetary reasons.

11. I called AAR yesterday. Was told only XM would carry them by May.

Very definite answer. Girl was upset that I was upset, said write Mr. Goldsberg, or whatever the name.

Those of us who spent money to make them work are being screwed.

Our $300 Sirius set is in the closet for now. We are just too angry to be rational about it.
