Sirius-XM Merger Approval May Hinge Upon FCC’s Tate

Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. bid to buy XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. may depend on a regulator who says she sometimes struggles to find a balance between the needs of consumers and industry.

Deborah Taylor Tate, one of three Republicans on the five- member Federal Communications Commission, may be the swing vote as the agency considers whether to approve the merger of the only two U.S. pay-radio companies, and under what conditions, said Stifel Nicolaus & Co. analyst Blair Levin.

“It’s not clear what she would want,” said Levin, a former FCC chief of staff who is based in Washington. Republican FCC Chairman Kevin Martin recommended approval of the merger on June 16, and the remaining Republican member, Robert McDowell, “pretty clearly” will vote for the takeover, Levin said.

In the mean time all we can do is sit back and play the waiting game while the NAB continues to stall the merger.

Finally, Two years later. We will have a decision in as little as three weeks.

You can see it here http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/circ_items.cgi (bottom of page)

XM Satellite Radio Holdings, Inc. to Sirius Satellite Radio, Inc. MO&O/R&O.

When an item hits the FCC’s Items on Circulation, that means it’s now being formally passed to the four other FCC Commissioners. A final vote on the transaction could come in as little as three weeks from the date of Circulation (6/17). The timing depends on how the first two Commissioners vote, but traditionally, the final two Commissioners have ten days after the first two votes to make their decision.

How low can they go?

Both Sirius and XM’s stocks have been falling like a 100lb Weight from an Airplane.

Right now Sirius is at 1.99 and Xm at 8.28 per share.

The only thing I can suggest for Current stock owners is to stick it out, I believe we will hear about the merger soon. It’s a shame a company like Goldman Sachs can have this much of an effect on stock prices.

On a good note Cowen & Co totally disagree with Goldman and have nothing but positive comments on the pending merger.
