Will I need a new radio to pick up XM or Sirius satellite radio?

Lots of questions flying around the XM and Sirius satellite radio merger. The AP is already reporting you need to get a new radio, but that's not what XM's site says - at least at this point:

Will current XM subscribers need to buy new radios?
No.

Will there be any immediate change to my monthly subscription fee?
No.

Will a merged service raise its monthly subscription fee?
In order to attract more subscribers, Satellite radio has strong incentives to keep prices low, particularly in the face of competition from many other audio entertainment providers - including free "over-the-air" AM, FM, and HD radio, Internet radio, music subscription services, iPods, CD players, and cell phones, as well as growing new technologies and services like MediaFLO, 3G, and WiMax.

Guess we won't know the answers for a few months. No word on when XM subscribers will hear Howard Stern either. CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
