So, yall are going to cancel yalls subscription to XM because of one radio show? Sure seems like a lot of money being spent to listen to one channel. I guess, I am glad to have Sirius. Lots of different channels, and stuff.
I dont get it either....why would someone pay that much for one show?
I dont stop watching a TV station when one of my favorite shows gets cancelled, I just find a new show to watch. I like Opie and Anthony. I sometimes find them funny. However its not like there arent 100s of other shock jocks just like them who do the same poo poo jokes that could replace them. Listening to opie and anthony every day all day would get boring real quick.

I seriously doubt they will release that number, in fact if you do some searching on google you'll find they are technically not canceling the subscriptions like people have asked them to do, they are only suspending people's account when they asked to be canceled. Big investor meeting coming up at the end of the month, they don't want to see bad numbers.

Yeah, they charge a $15.00. If it's just the charge your worried about I would about bet IF they come back they charged would be waived but don't hold your breathe on them coming back to XM.

The New York Post is reporting that "Opie and Anthony" are still reaping the monetary benefits of their $30 million dollar contract with Infinity Broadcasting.
WOW, the boys are doing pretty good. You can bet it's a short term contract too. Can only imagine what XM is paying them?

XM just released their financials. 2nd most profitable quarter ever at $93,002,000. Which is why the stock has been going up yesterday and today. Like I said earlier, investors are more than likely going to see the O&A suspension as a good thing. It shows people in control of their company. Conbine that with a good profitable quarter and the stock goes up. Reality, all those people crying and protesting O & A really dont mean a thing in the big corporate picture. They just think they matter.
I predict this....when opie and anthony are back in 30 days, the Opie and anthony pests screaming and carrying on right now will all be screaming "WE DID IT...WE DID IT...WE SAVED O&A!!!!!!!" Reality: they really didnt do a thing. O&A would have been back anyway.

I'm no rocket scientist but does a company have to be profitable to have a profitable quarter? Would seem to me that if a company is not covering expenses it can't have a profitable quarter?I don't know, maybe I just don't understand how to read income statements? I keep reading and reading and I come up with them losing $88,064,000?
