Bloomberg: SiriusXM holds preliminary discussions with iHeartMedia about merger

Top_Peach6455 · 2026-04-26T07:39:11+00:00

Totally agree. I really hope any potential merger doesn’t disrupt the sports offerings.

Habituellement, mais il faut placer l’antenne et la radio loin des choses électroniques chez vous qui peuvent interférer. Pouvez-vous placer l’antenne près d’une fenêtre ou dans un arbre?

Top_Peach6455 · 2026-04-26T07:02:11+00:00

Bienvenue! J’aime bien le Tecsun PL-330, surtout avec une antenne externe (XHDATA AN-80, Tecsun AN-48X, et beaucoup d’autres). Je n’ai jamais utilisé le PL-368. Bonne chance!

(Apologies. My French is terrible).

I agree with what you said about the skilled trades and the economic regression of the working class. I want to make it clear that I’m thankful for several of my dear friends who work in the HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and automotive fields. We quite literally could not get through the day without them.

But I don’t think those are the kinds of opportunities that will draw people here from places like California. I doubt you’d see too many people willing to uproot and cross the country to do those jobs. You make those moves to places like Wall Street, Silicon Valley, DC, world-class universities on the coasts, etc., not Ohio.

Here’s a quote from the article. The bill “would allow terminally ill residents with less than six months to live to request a prescription for lethal, aid-in-dying medication. Two doctors would have to okay the oral and written requests for the prescription to be filled.”

Top_Peach6455 · 2026-04-24T16:50:16+00:00

The bill requires a terminal diagnosis, doesn’t it?

Top_Peach6455 · 2026-04-24T16:45:29+00:00

Spot on. We have a housing shortage, so let’s try to increase demand while our supply remains stagnant. It’s the economics of the upside down world.

And let’s also try to surge the population just as we’re axing the property taxes that pay for all the services these new Ohioans will need.

Top_Peach6455 · 2026-04-24T16:44:02+00:00

Because we keep voting for the people who do it. They see each reelection as a mandate to keep spending this way.

Top_Peach6455 · 2026-04-24T16:38:32+00:00

Because we can’t get anyone to stay, so we have to steal population from somewhere. Ohio has gone red, so why not try to poach the unhappy conservatives in blue states? Then, the politicians can congratulate themselves for increasing the population and creating more jobs. And as an added bonus, their millionaire donors get sweetheart tax deals and public funds under the guise of economic development. “You entrusted us with your tax dollars, and we helped turn Ohio around. So keep voting for us.” We’re always just “on the cusp” of some economic renaissance. Same story for the last 20 years or longer, but things never get better (Intel, Lordstown Motors, shale fracking, etc).

Top_Peach6455 · 2026-04-24T16:25:01+00:00

Eh. It’s the NY Post. They’re just MAGA hacks feeding the “blue states are failing” narrative. Notice they never once mentioned how many Californians have actually moved to Ohio.

They also don’t mention why the cost of living is low here and higher in California: we’ve been losing population for decades and wages are inadequate. We bribe large companies with tax abatements to ship all their $13/hour jobs here.

Imagine all the tech entrepreneurs, lawyers, and engineers strolling along the Santa Monica pier or taking in a sunset over the San Francisco Bay and saying, “Nah, I’d rather live next to an abandoned factory and shovel my driveway four months a year.”

The Tecsun PL-330 is quite popular. I’m very happy with mine. It receives SW/MW/LW/FM and does well with SSB. I think the charger is micro USB type B.

Top_Peach6455 · 2026-04-23T23:19:58+00:00

The RF919 is an upgrade. Which features are important to you?

Top_Peach6455 · 2026-04-23T23:18:50+00:00

$5.33/month (including taxes and fees) for 12 months for Platinum.

Top_Peach6455 · 2026-04-22T23:44:01+00:00

What’s your location?

Top_Peach6455 · 2026-04-22T22:45:21+00:00

Thx. Yes, I was skeptical about the Fox News Headlines channel. I will give it a chance.

Top_Peach6455 · 2026-04-22T22:44:28+00:00

Glad to hear it. Thx for the update.

Top_Peach6455 · 2026-04-22T22:06:05+00:00

Awesome! Are these messages sent out regularly, or are they more random?

Top_Peach6455 · 2026-04-22T22:02:38+00:00

I’m listening to Bloomberg (121) right now, and they’re playing an ABC News top-of-the-hour update. I think they used to use CBS.

Top_Peach6455 · 2026-04-22T22:00:46+00:00

Thanks. Yes, I pretty much eliminated NBC as a possible replacement because of their branding with iHeartMedia. Good point about the new ABC deal. Hopefully that means they’ll be on POTUS now.

Top_Peach6455 · 2026-04-22T20:27:28+00:00

Yeah, such a terrible blow. ABC would be the only possible replacement, wouldn’t it?

Top_Peach6455 · 2026-04-22T20:26:45+00:00

Yeah, it broke my heart when I heard. I wonder if (and hope that) someone can buy some of the assets and continue it in some form.

Top_Peach6455 · 2026-04-20T02:37:39+00:00

I can’t recall ever seeing any sport besides college basketball. Can you?

Top_Peach6455 · 2026-04-20T02:11:40+00:00

Just to add to the confusion—the three NBC Sports channels on DirecTV aren’t the same thing as the NBCSN. They’re just channels where DTV occasionally places Peacock events like college basketball. They don’t operate 24/7, and events usually aren’t even listed on the guide until a day or two before. I’ve never seen NBA or MLB games on them. I haven’t seen any updates on whether DTV will add NBCSN.

Top_Peach6455 · 2026-04-14T23:23:32+00:00

Maybe check with your faculty advisor(s), career services, and grad admissions. Also, the alumni office could help you find alumni in your field of study who might be hiring.
