Latino Group Backs Making The Two Companies One
The Latino Coalition has indicated they support the merger between satellite radio companies XM and Sirius.
"The satellite radio industry has been a launching pad for Hispanic programmers and is an increasingly popular service for a vast number of Latino consumers and other listeners who enjoy the richness of Hispanic culture, arts and news."
The group argues that the elimination of duplicate programming after the merger would provide more room for Hispanics and others.

On Tuesday, the deal also got the thumbs-up from the National Black Chamber of Commerce, which says that the companies have promised more opportunities for African American programmers and already offer dozens of channels and argue that the combined company will offer even more, and at lower prices.
