I look for satellite radio broadcaster SiriusXM to have to do a similar maneuver this winter. They have a mound of debt coming due this winter which will have to be refinanced in this very scary credit market. XM recently announced layoffs of about 80 people from the music programming side. They are considering a reverse stock split to get the price per share above $1 to avoid NASDQ delisting. Rumor is that on November 5 they will announce a merged program stream between Sirius and XM subscribers. Source <http://www.orbitcast.com/>
