The Sirius takeover of XM Satellite Radio is complete.  The company has changed its name and is now called Sirius XM Radio Inc.  Shares of Sirius XM (NASDAQ : SIRI) were down following the takeover and were seen trading around 1.34 on August 13.  It is an exciting time for the new company.  I am most interested in how this is going to affect exclusivity deals, such as NHL which was previously exclusive to XM.  Since its a single company now, I really hope that the exclusives will be able to flow to the other providers radio.  It should also be interesting to see the next generation of radios that will have access to both sets of signals.  This is an exciting time for this company, and I hope that they will be able to continue to attract subscribers and really make things happen.
