Rapper Common exultant over Sirus-XM merger

CNN Money reports the US Justice Department has approved the merger between satellite radio companies, Sirius and XM. The deal, announced over a year ago, remained in doubt as the DOJ deliberated whether the union constituted a monopoly over outlets such as Apple's iTunes Store.


The Federal Communications Commission must also approve the merger before the deal becomes official. If the FCC signs off, 14 million subscribers will now have an all access pass to Major League Baseball and Howard Stern among many other programs.

The merger will be marketed to current and prospective subscribers with the tagline: "Sirius / XM: From base hits to fake tits, we've got it all."
