XM-Sirius deal not yet being reviewed
Bloomberg News
Jun. 1, 2007 08:32 AM
Sirius Satellite Radio Inc.'s planned purchase of XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. faces a "high hurdle" because a rule bans the combination, U.S. Federal
Communications Commission Chairman Kevin Martin said.
"I think this is an unusual merger and I think it faces a high hurdle," Martin said.
The agency hasn't started reviewing the deal because it is still debating the substance of the rules with Sirius and XM, Martin told reporters today after an FCC
meeting. XM and Sirius said in a statement they still "expect the transaction to be completed by the end of 2007."
