Will Sirius XM Go the Way of Old Radio?

www.dailytopstocks.com



Remember when shares of Sirius and XM radio were the talk of Wall Street only a few years ago? The next generation of radio that will take over every car, home and local business? Fast forward to today, and only a couple of months after the July merger and shares of the combined company Sirius XM (SIRI) are trading at less than a dollar!

The merger was supposed to inject confidence in investors, but the stock has dropped by more than 40% since July. Last week, the company announced that subscriber growth will be slower than analysts expect. CEO Mel Karmazin, who was instrumental in signing top media names for Sirius radio’s lineup, such as Howard Stern and Martha Stewart, also had a hand in fueling the downward pull on share price after he made an “off-handed” comment regarding the large amount of debt due in February which the company is trying to negotiate. “Am I going to lend the company the money? I hope not. I hope we don’t get to that”. He later explained he was being candid, akin to a joke.

Let’s face it; satellite radio is a great service. I should know. I am hooked on XM in my car. But at home, I listen to internet streamed radio. While working out, or on the go, my trusted iPod is attached to me. The point is that while the merger, which according to Mr. Karmazin slowed down sales over more than a year due to consumer confusion, was being ironed out alternatives to satellite radio took hold of consumers.

It is internet streamed radio, I believe, that will be the eventual winner. Already, you can listen to internet radio on your iPhone and other web phone units. I can play internet streamed music on my family room television through my Playstation 3. Eventually, everyone will install units in their car to connect to the web, and play music that way.

It would not be surprising at all if satellite radio will go the way of old radio, that is to give its listeners free service, and sell air time to advertisers. I am just not sure if the advertisers would sign on in large numbers, as internet radio has already opened the doors to advertisers when Sirius and XM were shutting the door for many years. Sirius XM may be too late.
