[JPL] Tech world's take on satellite radio troubles

[Paul Combs]

Seriously Tough Times at Sirius XM Radio 

Inside word was the Sirius XM Radio would declare bankruptcy 
this week, but thanks to a $530 million loan from John 
Malone's Liberty Media Corp the company keep broadcasting. 
I always had a soft spot for Sirius: It was a haven for 
commercial-free, quality radio. Thing is, between iTunes 
and Slacker, I now have all the music I could ever need-plus 
expert recommendations. If Sirius does kick the bucket, these 
are the devices and services that did it in.
