But I will take the bet for just subscribers as of Dec 31st 2006 if you want.

Here are the current totals:
XM: 6.0 million
Sirius: 3.3 million

Just an indicator:
XM as of Jan 05: 3.2 million
Sirius as of Jan 05: 1.1 million
(all totals taken from their website press releases)

$100 sound good?

And before you reply, just remember that XM now has a portable unit that allows you to listen live, record shows & use it as an mp3 player:

(Sirius has a docking station where you can save programming, but not listen live & not play mp3's)

So, using your numbers, with opie and andy, XM doubled. Without Howard Stern, Sirius tripled. $100 is a good wager.
