War Eagle 42 0 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Sirius Satelite has SEC Football and Basketball. They also have Rivals Radio every morning...Good Stuff. Plus NFL. The way I see it is: SEC Fan = Sirius ACC Fan = XM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacksonJ 0 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Got a Sirius subscription for Christmas and it is great. Lots of sports. They say they will have every game during NCAA basketball tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubie57 119 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I've had Sirius for several months now, the main reason I got it was because of the Auburn football coverage. Where I live you can forget getting the AU network over the radio. I highly reccomend Sirius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Sirius and it is great. Never a dull moment. Laugh Break 105 always gets me in a good mood in the afternoons. The SEC broadcasts are also good. You usually pick up the home broadcast unless they are playing at a school without a Sirius contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeagleDMS 0 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 My father has sirius, pretty good stuff. He has it set up where it notifies him when an Auburn broadcast is coming on which is pretty cool. I like the Jam band station on there. Nothing like it down in Dothan, here in Auburn we've got 99.9 FM though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KunzelTiger 0 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I will be the lone vote for XM sat radio. I really enjoy it. I listen to channel 202 with talk show hosts Opie and Anthony. They are really funny....I reccomend people give them a try for a week or so. And you will start to get their jokes. Also, XM is the MUCH stronger company. Sirius is giving Stern $500M and they simply don't have the money for R&D. XM is spending that money on R&D and is going to have much better hardware. Sirius doesn't have a REAL portable unit, XM does. XM is going to win this battle and will pull farther ahead soon. Seriously, I recommend XM for Opie and Anthony, I have not listend to the music stations very much but my impression is that the bluegrass and country stations are very good and the "decade" stations are good. I give XM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give XM 222173[/snapback] The original question was which one carried SEC Football. That is Sirius. As for the Stern deal it is not anywhere near 500Mil. It is over 100 milion if they reach the subscription goal. I think Sirius has some realationship with Dish Network because they carry the Sirius music stations on the air.

aumoore 0 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Here is Sirius's comparison to XM. Keep in mind this is from the Sirius website. http://www.sirius.com/servlet/ContentServe...d=1065475754125 I cannot get the Auburn Broadcasts on a strong station where I live so Sirius is great for me. If they go out of business I will have to change to XM but I doubt that will happen and Sirius is catching up to XM in subscriptions. Like him or not Howard Stern has got way over 1 million more subscribers added to Sirius. That will add over $142 million per year to Sirius.

Since you have a crystal ball telling the future what stocks does it say I should buy so I can get rich by next week? 222180[/snapback] I realize the original question was who carried SEC football and that is Sirius, but I was showing my reasons for liking XM a little extraneous but thats fine. Stern's deal IS at $500M Link to ABC news or $100M a year over 5 years. Moving onto the next part of my statement, seeing as how media right now is largely a hardware innovation battle and the company with the most innovative hardware gets the big bucks (iPod and their color screen for watching movies. PSPs and their ability to play games/movies/mp3s on a 6 hour battery) Those all cost a lot of money in R&D and if Sirius is spending $100M a year on Stern they couldn't possibly have as much as XM does for R&D. What exactly did I say that was predicting the future? XM has more subscribers and isn't throwing their money at old hasbeen shock jocks. They are putting it towards development of hardware. Currently XM's hardware is MUCH smaller than sirius. Also, XM has a true portable unit which can recieve live streaming satalite radio feeds. Sirius' portable unit is merely an MP3 player that you can download Sirius content to. My statement doesn't seem like i'm making an outlandish prediction of the future but rather a well thought out reason as to why I think XM will always be the top rate company and Sirius will just be that "little doggie company" Any questions?

aumoore 0 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 From XM's Site XM reported an EBITDA loss of ($199.4) million for the fourth quarter of 2005, including $25.3 million in de-leveraging charges, compared to an EBITDA loss of ($139.7) million for the fourth quarter of 2004, which included $41.6 million in de-leveraging charges. The full year EBITDA loss was ($434.3) million, from Sirius's site SIRIUS reported a net loss of ($311.4) million, or ($0.23) per share, for the fourth quarter of 2005, and a net loss of ($863.0) million, or ($0.65) per share, for the full-year. Both are losing tons of money so they both may go out of business. As for portable units for Sirius http://www.orbitcast.com/archives/2005/01/...portable_s.html Here is one with Video(Sirius will offer video soon) http://www.orbitcast.com/archives/sirius-v...or-mid2006.html If you like XM that is fine but don't knock Sirius just because you like XM. They are both fine products but I like Sirius because of the sports content. When you get down to it they both have very similar programing as far as music, news and talk radio. IMHO where they differ is the sports content, Chose XM if you like ACC sports MLB and Nascar Chose Sirius if you like SEC sports NHL, NBA and NFL In the future they may both offer NFL, NASCAR & MLB so the choice may be moot at that time. Why are all the XM subscribers saying Sirius is going out of business when they both are a long way from blackink? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KunzelTiger 0 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Niether of the Sirius units have been released yet!! I agree that both sides are losing money, but in the future it will be satalite radio (much like cable caught on). Really I just wanted to plug O&A XM 202, spead the virus. .

tejasjack 0 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I enjoy XM, but didn't have much choice in shopping for satellite radio...my Honda came bundled with XM as part of the options I added to it (the Accord and it's Acura counterpart run everything through a computer screen when you opt for the navigation system, including XM)...so it was XM or nothing! Anyway, I'm not going to sit in my car to listen to AU play Arkansas State for 3.5 hours, so the Sirius advantage in having SEC football is of no real value to me...I'd rather hit the Ice House down the street and watch the game via GamePlan...or watch it with the alumni group here in town.

Captain Liger 0 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I have XM and listen to it for O&A in the morning and the America Right channel during the day. They also carry Paul Finebaum from 5 to 6 and I usually listen to that on my way home. I'm fine with not getting SEC football on XM. It irked me at first but with the slew of ESPN channels on my cable package I usually don't have a problem picking up their games where I'm at. And if it happens to not be televised where I'm at ESPN usually replays the games during the week after. So I'm content with that. Besides, my nerves usually can't handle Auburn football live so I end up catching the game after the fact...but only if they win. A loss just pisses me off and then the rest of my week is crappy.

I usually don't listen to the games on my Sirius but if it is not on TV and the local station is on the fritz(usually is) then I can go shopping with the wife and listen while in the car for updates. It makes a great reason to wait in the car while she spends hours trying on cothes. If you travel to and from the game you can listen to the other SEC games while driving or tailgating. If you live outside the state of Alabama it gets pretty hard to listen to the non televised games so Sirius is a must if you love to cringe. pray, cross your fingers and stick pins in voodoo dolls of the opposing coach during the game. Captin just think with your karma Duvall might have been more accurate on a few games. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBPWAREAGLE 0 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Ive had XM for a while and i love it. For all of u who have sirius for the SEC you need to look into the fact that their contract is soon to be up and XM is pushing a lot of money at the SEC to pick it up which would be great for me,..... the best college football and best show on radio, O & A, Spread the Virus.
