After a long time of speculation and wondering, the deal has officially been completed. Sirius and XM have formed as one company and are now using the uninspired sounding name of Sirius XM Radio.
As we saw the merger had its ups and downs and times when it looked like it was never going to happen, we saw the DOJ give their seal of approval back in March, and then the news kind of died down a little bit. Then finally the FCC gave their seal of approval late last week and now things seem to be quick moving again.
As part of the merger, any existing radios will continue to work and subscribers can continue on with their current plans, but personally I am more looking forward to see those new a-la-carte style plans that we have heard mentioned. Well, that and some new Sirius XM Radio branded hardware.
