NEW YORK, Nov 29, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Winners of the inaugural 'Stewie Awards' were announced tonight by two-time NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series Champion and SIRIUS Radio host Tony Stewart at the SIRIUS Satellite Radio Studios in New York City. The 2007 'Stewie Award' winners were decided by fans around the country who logged on to www.SIRIUS.com to vote for the best, boldest and funniest moments of the 2007 NASCAR season.

The 'Stewies' were awarded during a special broadcast of Tony Stewart Live, the weekly talk show hosted by Stewart and Matt Yocum on SIRIUS NASCAR Radio channel 128, in the midst of the 2007 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series Champions Week.

Winners in 12 categories including "Best Duet," honoring outstanding teamwork by a driver and crew chief, "Best Original Drama," honoring the year's most exciting race moment, "Best Driver2Crew Chatter Exchange," "Best Stunt Sequence" and others were honored.

Among the evening's highlights was the presentation of the "Stewie Lifetime Achievement Award" to two legends of NASCAR - former NASCAR Chairman and CEO Bill France, Jr. and Hall of Fame driver/broadcaster Benny Parsons, both of whom passed away in 2007.

Bill France, Jr. became NASCAR's president in January 1972, replacing his father and NASCAR's founder, William H.G. France. Bill France, Jr. grew up in the formative years of stock car racing, living and learning every detail of the sport from his own experiences - flagging events, scoring, conducting, promoting and even racing himself in the 1950s. Under his watch, NASCAR was ushered into the modern era and has grown into one of the most popular sports in the United States.

Benny Parsons, the 1973 NASCAR Cup champion and 1975 Daytona 500 winner, was respected by drivers and loved by fans throughout his racing career. After retiring from competition, Parsons endeared himself to television audiences as a straightforward, unassuming and insightful broadcaster. Parsons was inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 1994 and named one of NASCAR's 50 Greatest Drivers in 1998.

Sirius And XM: The Final Stretch
Is this merger siriusly about to happen? 

Sirius Satellite Radio (nasdaq: SIRI) and XM Satellite Radio (nasdaq: XMSR) have been working together for months on a deal to merge the two companies into one. On Friday, one analyst, at least, said that goal was about to be achieved.

Shares of both companies skyrocketed after Bear Stearns analyst Robert Pek said that while he believes the Justice Department's junior staffers will attempt to block the deal, senior members will likely rule in favor of the merger. He said Thomas Barnett, the assistant attorney general for anti-trust, would support the deal.

If the amalgamation is approved, XM stockholders will receive 4.6 shares of Sirius for each of their shares.

XM Satellite Radio soared 13.5%, or $1.86, to $15.60, in Friday trading while Sirius Satellite Radio leaped 8.8%, or 31 cents, to $3.83.

In order to finalize the merger, the Federal Communications Commission must give its stamp of approval as well. According to Pek, the FCC decision could come soon after the Justice Department's.

"While the final outcome remains uncertain, we expect Tom Barnett likely will rule along with the higher officials and announce that the DOJ will not be blocking the deal," Pek wrote in a recent note to investors.

In February, Sirius annouced its intention to join with XM as long as the Justice Department and the FCC give their stamps of approval. (See: Sirius/XM Gets Thumbs Up From Fowler)

Earlier this month, shareholders of both Sirius and XM voted in favor of the merger. Now, the fate of the two companies lies in the hands of federal regulators. While no official verdict has been given, several bigwigs support the union.

"If the two satellite radio companies, each only several years old, need to combine to be more effective competitors in an audio entertainment marketplace teeming with technological change and innovation, the government should not stand in the way," former Federal Communications Commission chairman Mark Fowler said in September. (See: Sirius About A Merger)

According to Pek, if the deal receives federal regulatory approval, shares of XM could hit $20.00 while shares of Sirius could rise as high as $4.50.

XM, Sirius Investors Lick Their Wounds by Robert Holmes, published June 25 at 10:31 a.m. EDT.

MOST READ: XM, Sirius Investors in Limbo 06/25/08 - 10:31 AM EDT
AAPL (The Telecom Connection PICK) MSFT RIMM SIRI T VZ XMSR

Shareholders in XM Satellite Radio(XMSR) and Sirius Satellite Radio(SIRI) have been punished over the grueling 15-month wait for regulatory approval.

And as the process finally appears to be nearing an end, longtime investors in the stocks are alternately hopeful, desperate, angry and depressed about the future prospects for one or both companies.

"[My Sirius] shares were purchased prior to the merger announcement with anticipation that the merger would actually take place," says John Veenkamp, who owns 6,000 shares at an average cost per share of $4.32. "And the funny thing is, after a year and several months later, we still know nothing more than we did on Day One of the merger announcement."

Sirius shares have tumbled roughly 44% to $1.85 since the deal was announced in March 2007 and have plummeted 69% over the last three years. XM shares have lost more than 40% over the last 15 months to $7.80, and are down more than 75% over the last three years. Both XM and Sirius are currently trading at five-year lows.

The Federal Communications Commission recently has given inclinations it will follow in the footsteps of the Justice Department and approve the pending merger, which both agencies have scrutinized for fear that it is anti-competitive and what that would mean for public interest.

In a statement earlier this month in which he offered his support for the deal's approval, FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said that with the voluntary commitments XM and Sirius have made, on balance, the transaction would be in the public interest. His proposed list of stipulations -- price constraints, smaller packages at lower prices, the sale of interoperable radios, additional public interest programming for noncommercial use -- may ultimately be good for consumers.


Of course, two of the other four FCC commissioners need to offer their approval for the merger to occur, so nothing is a sure thing yet.

Bullish analysts have maintained a price target of $4 a share for Sirius and one near $19 for XM based on expectations that a deal will be completed and that a combined XM-Sirius will have cost synergies near $4 billion in value. On the flip side, bearish analysts believe Sirius could fall below $2 a share and XM shares could hover around $6.50, due to lower cash flows, slowing subscriber growth, the effects of the FCC stipulations and the timing and magnitude of synergies.

Despite the two markedly different views put forth by analysts, battered investors are holding tight to Sirius in hopes a merger will ultimately go through and that shares will rebound.

" hope that eventually it will get closer to my purchase price," says John Kessling, a managing partner with Acumen Strategic Communications, who invested in Sirius in 2005 when it traded above $6 a share. "I bought during the hyper period when satellite radio was signing big-name talent, like Howard Stern, and people thought it would someday supplant over-the-air broadcasting."

Kessling, who considers himself an armchair investor with a stake in Sirius, says he will likely hang on to his investment because it's a small one. At the same time, however, he's becoming more skeptical about the prospects for satellite radio in an era of Apple's (AAPL) iPod and iPhone, podcasting and Internet radio, and that the satellite radio companies need to address this competition.

"All I'm reading is the 'he said, she said' noise that comes in all regulatory battles such as this one," Kessling adds.

Another Sirius investor who declined to be named said he started buying the stock in April 2006 and has been accumulating shares by averaging down over the last few years. Currently, he owns 13,000 shares and plans on holding onto them after a merger happens. He argues that a merged company should be able to thrive amid a broad spectrum of competitors.

"I truly believe, regardless of the merger, there will be one satellite company left and it's Sirius," he says. "[The] FCC is essentially creating a monopoly which would give [Sirius] a huge playing field to compete against all forms of products and services, such as terrestrial radio, iTunes, iPods, etc."

The same investor argues that there is a huge opportunity for Sirius to take advantage of all the different content distribution vehicles, noting that satellite radio service is already being offered by DirecTV (DTV), Research In Motion's (RIMM) BlackBerry and a massive new and used car market.

A combined Sirius-XM, he says, could possibly have distribution access to AT&T's (T) U-verse and Verizon's (VZ) FiOS services, as well as gaming consoles like Microsoft's (MSFT) Xbox 360.

"These reasons alone lead me to believe that the combined synergies of the two companies will create huge opportunities to drive revenue and growth," he adds. "Will I sell if the stock goes up significantly? I would be stupid not to consider it. But for now, I am holding on tight."


Another Sirius investor, Dave Atkinson, owns the stock currently and has bought and sold a number of times on merger rumors. " should not have bought at $2.77 but things looked OK at that time with Martin saying, 'We will look at merging the companies soon,'" he says. "The FCC should not have come out and said a thing."

Atkinson says he may sell off some of his investment into merger news, but plans to keep investing in Sirius if and when the stock goes up. " will own it after the merger. I will buy back later and hold that number then. There is lots of lost time here with this stock."

Veenkamp, who plans to hold his investment position if and when there is merger approval, says that looking ahead, he is worried that some members of the FCC will be voting based on the outcome of their reappointments, vs. what is best for the consumer.

"The length of time to make a final decision on the merger has adversely affected the well-being of both Sirius and XM and if one or both of the companies declare bankruptcy before or after the merger, the blame clearly falls on the shoulders of the FCC," he says.

Sirius XM Extends Rally, Now Up Over 800% From Lows
Friday April 17, 2009

Continued an impressive 3-day rally on Friday, leading radio stocks higher.

Those who bought into Sirius XM for 5 cents in February are currently seeing gains of over 800%. Investors drove the stock to near zero on fears of bankruptcy, but have reversed their opinion, at least temporarily, after a $530 million investment from Liberty Media. More recently the company has rallied on a corporate credit upgrade form Standard & Poor's, which it received earlier this week. The upgrade boosted Sirius XM's rating to CCC+. Speculators are betting on the stock today, driving it up by 15%.

As a whole, the Radio Stocks Index is ahead by 2.6%. It is now ahead of the S&P 500 by 31% this month.

While Sirius XM is undoubtedly driving the Index's performance today, terrestrial radio companies should benefit from what appears to some to be a bottom in radio and television advertising markets. Earlier this month Viacom (NYSE: VIA - News) CEO, Phillippe Dauman commented that television ad sales had leveled off in the short term, which is a good sign for traditional media outlets.

Sirius Is an 8-Bagger
April 17, 2009

It has been another good week for Sirius XM Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI), especially if you draw the starting line when shares of the satellite radio operator bottomed out at $0.05 two months ago.

The stock is now an eight-bagger, based on Thursday night's close, and would become a nine-bagger if Friday's intraday highs stick.

The catalyst this week is a welcome nod of approval from credit rating agency Standard & Poor's. It raised its rating on Sirius XM on Tuesday -- to CCC+ from CCC -- two months after an infusion from Liberty Media (Nasdaq: LINTA) improved the radio giant's near-term liquidity.

Sure, it's still a junk-bond rating. And S&P didn't change the rating on Sirius XM's senior unsecured notes. However, it's just another baby step in the right direction for a company that many figured would file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection two months ago.

The upbeat news comes at a time when Sirius XM itself has been pretty tight-lipped about its near-term prospects. It abandoned its subscriber targets when it posted its fourth-quarter report last month. The only guidance the company is providing at this point is that it expects to top $300 million in operating profits this year.

Even if all of that is consumed by interest payments on debt, it would be a confidence builder, especially for the company's creditors. A buoyant share price may also grant the company the flexibility to use secondary stock offerings to pay down its debt. It would also help the company step back from considering a reverse stock split, which has ended poorly for most companies, save for priceline.com (Nasdaq: PCLN).

Sirius XM has a long way to go. We have yet to see if likely near-term catalysts -- like the Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) iPhone app that Sirius XM is releasing this quarter or whispers of a bundled package with satellite television giant DirecTV (NYSE: DTV) -- pan out.

However, as long as the shorts keep coming despite the steady trickle of positive developments, there could be more bags in Sirius XM's future.

[setravis]

SIRI will either go north of the 200-Day MA or not...

Note to Sirius XM: Use Buzz Words on Tomorrow's Earnings Call
A lot of folks over the last couple of days or weeks have been speculating over the Sirius XM Radio (SIRI) Q1 2009 conference call tomorrow morning. People have been wondering whether subscriber numbers have gone up or down and how the auto sale numbers affected the first quarter. Was it a growth quarter or not?

The reality is that for tomorrow's conference call, all Sirius XM Radio management team has to do is successfully sprinkle a few "buzz words" through out the conference call. Namely the iPhone (AAPL) buzz word. If Sirius XM Radio management team successfully does that on tomorrow's conference call, the stock is heading upward.

The Sirius XM Radio iPhone application was announced on the previous Q4 2008 conference call to be released sometime in Q2. The application should be launched any day now. Any color provided by the management team on tomorrow's conference call is a positive for the stock.

I'm not saying to ignore fundamentals, but for the most part fundamentals are improving and synergies are being gained. For Sirius XM Radio, commonly used "buzz words" is what's important for the short term.

Sirius: Barrington Ups Rating; Sees Possible Double
Posted by Eric Savitz
Barrington Research analyst James Goss this morning upped his rating on Sirius XM (SIRI) to Outperfrom from Market Perform, setting a price target of 70 cents, or twice yesterday's closing price of 35 cents.

Goss writes that "after a recent period of significant volatility in the share price," several factors are working in the satellite radio company's favor. He says a favorable swing in EBITDA to more than $500 million into positive territory this year should be followed by substantial additional revenue gains.

The analyst contends that Sirius now has "fundamental momentum," driven by a number of factors:

•Cost cuts across a broad swatch of line items, with more to come.
•Added charges for the previously complimentary Internet service.
•Increased prices for added subscriptions under family plan.
•Likely to add "royalty recovery" fee under new terms of FCC agreement.
•New initiatives like iPhone App "are being very well received."
SIRI today is up 2 cents, or 6%, to 37 cents.
