Satellite Radio: From Sirius and XM to Sirius XM
In 2007, Sirius Satellite Radio and XM Satellite Radio Holdings announced an $11.4 billion "merger of equals." A year later, despite regulatory concerns, the FCC approved the deal.

Through exhibits and data on market share, strategic partnerships, and financial performance, this case teaches students how to analyze the outlook for Sirius XM.
