That is the really weird thing about all this - DirecTV & Fox are in bed together & Fox is in bed with Sirius, so for DirectTV to move to XM (current music channels are Sirius) is IMHO a very stong indication XM is better than Sirius. Plus XM has 5 million subscrfibers & Sirus has 2 or so.

Also note that the Dish page does not mention Stern at all - just that they have the Sirus music channels

That would be because you are looking at the current lineup. There are still 3 months before he moves.

I wonder how much that will jump when Stern moves? XM with Opie and Andy have seemed to peak in subscriber-ship with XM.

3.2 million in February
4.4 million in July
5.0 million in September
Projected 6.0 million by January

Plus throw in there that the 14 million people that have DirectTV will also have access to O & A & you're talking 20 million potential listners by Jan.

Yeah, it's peaked

And I will bet you $100 that you will not hear Stern on the Dish Network channels.
