Yup, I will wait to see if they are censored - if they are I won't reconnect my other radio.

It was more of current events stuff but the commercials do break the flow. I have still been downloading the full shows and burning them to CD for the drive home. I have heard most of the "best of CBS" they are playing on XM now.

I dont know.. Day two of "best of's" was just more memory lane with Pat from Wuknockie... They had callers who didnt know who stalker patty was...
I hope the return to xm is more original..

Is it old stuff like from a year ago or is it best of the last month during suspension?

Sounds like a lot of the CBS shows. Dumbed down with a lot of explanation. I am surprised that the XM guys would pick that for "best of" play on XM which is were the hard core fans would listen.
I just hope on Friday they don't ignore the subject of their suspension. I am sure they have been told to not talk about it - which is gay.
They will be broadcasting from CBS for the next month while their studios get redesigned.

Just heard the walk over. They claim no restrictions, they were suspended for not taking the situation seriously - which they disagree with, and that XM has said if something like this happens again they will stand behind them. Guess we will see.

His wife has been on a couple times. He seems real - although the contest is pretty hack.

Good god.... The show is a joke dude, you dont put yourself in more danger to survive.. He does dumb ass "extreme" stuff thats purely "for show"... Jumping off cliffs into water for no reason (you would never intentionally make yourself wet in a survival situ)... Running down a mountain side full speed, eating shit, raw fish, etc.. its just fucking stupid to even suggest that it has anything to do with survival skills... And people eat it up like he's hardcore...
False macho bravado done for ratings... Its jackass for the outdoors.. Actually I give more credit to the jackass guys cause they dont claim their show is about something its not...
Further proof, I'm surrounded by incompetents... Posts: 2469 | From: Anchorage, AK | Registered: Oct 2001

Oh I planned on it, the xmfans board said it was pretty good too..
Look up 'Man vs Wild' to see that idiot Bear in action, thats the name of his show.
I mean, his show is about being overtly reckless and dangerous, and then even suggesting (an I'm being overly fair here) that "you could actually have to do this to survive"... or that how he preforms would be an acceptable risk in "the real world situ" when its pure nonsense..

Ah, now I know what you were talking about, they had two guys named bear on the show on the same day.. what are the odds..

Ok, listened to that part of the show with the other Bear. Then I watched an episode of Man vs Wild on Discovery. You are correct Joe a lot of it looks completely set up. Not sure if he actually eats the shit but Patrice was probably correct that a camera man next to him hands him a sandwich after he eats shit. And he admitted on the show he is never really in danger because the crew is right there. Interesting idea for the show but over the top and set up.

FCC Chair backs approval of Sirius-XM merger
Monday, June 16, 2008 at 4:36 AM Tags: FCC, Kevin Martin, Merger, Satellite Radio, Sirius, XM
Kevin MartinFCC Chairman Kevin Martin is recommending the approval of the merger between Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. and XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc., according to reports.
Aides to Martin told The Washington Post that the FCC chief decided to give his support after Sirius-XM agreed last week to concessions intended to prevent the new company from raising prices or stifling competition.
Martin is expected to issue an order to approve the merger - as early as Monday, according to The Wall Street Journal - setting the stage for a final vote which could occur any time after his recommendation is circulated.
"As I have indicated before, this is an unusual situation," Martin said in a statement. "I am recommending that with the voluntary commitments [Sirius and XM] have offered, on balance, this transaction would be in the public interest."
FCC officials said that XM and Sirius voluntarily agreed to all of Kevin Martin's terms, many of which the companies had originally suggested.
The concessions the companies agreed to are:
* A three-year freeze on prices and packages that include programs from both services. * "A La Carte" programming to be available within 3-months after close of the deal. * Open Device Access, providing technology standards to allow for any device manufacturer to make satellite radios. * Interoperable radios to be available within one-year of the merger. * Set aside 8% of total combined spectrum (12-channels each) for noncommercial, educational and public safety programming - for those who have "not been traditionally represented" in radio, according to the Martin.
The details on how this system would work have yet to be worked out, according to the Associated Press.
The merger also is expected to allow the company to begin servicing Puerto Rico, where neither currently operates.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in!
UPDATE: Noticeably absent from the agreed concessions are iBiquity's proposal to require HD Radios be built-in to satellite radios, and Georgetown Partners' proposal to take 20% of Sirius-XM broadcast infrastructure off their hands. And that's a good thing.
