XM Radio has more dance music channels then Sirius. In fact, During the 2006 Ultra Music Festival, 3 of the dance music station on XM Radio were broadcasting live at different stages.

Area 33 (The Invasion) with Kaenow Friday Sirius Radio..

I've heard that rumor on Howard Stern's show on Sirius, but they said a merger couldn't happen due to government rules. Supposedly when XM and Sirius got started, the government made a rule saying the two couldn't merge together. Not sure why and no one on the show knew why either. If someone knows, please post. I think it would be cool if they would merge to get even more shows.

Personally, I think Sirius is much better for me than XM. Sirius has Howard Stern, Playboy radio, First Wave(old alt rock from old KROQ djs in LA), Area 33 which has shows by Gabriel & Dresden, Paul Van Dyk, & Paul Oakenfold, and BBC Radio 1 with DJ shows like the Essential Mix & Pete Tong. My mother has XM in her car and they have decent electronic shows, but I prefer Sirius for other things as mentioned.

I will be running (engineering) a live broadcast for Sirius this Sunday from Nikki Beach at 10pm. I figure it will be for channel Area 33. Does anyone know which DJ will be spinning there? I looked on their site, and all they had is some show called "Invasion" that happens at exact time of the broadcast. Last time i worked for them, i was doing a broadcast from Griffin at the hard rock, with DJ Stonebridge spinning. I had super great time.
