This is the Businessweek cover Mel Karmazin is working hard towards

Published: Monday, March 05, 2007

So we have yet to get our Jeff Zucker Businessweek cover. However we still have hope for a Jeff Bewkes cover even though that probably won't happen until he takes over at Time Warner. But another cover we're hoping to see is the one to your right. Sirius CEO Mel Karmazin is a radio man at heart and he has been working to win some love from law makers to get his mega merger with XM blessed. If and when Mel gets his go ahead, this cover mock up should do us all just fine, because it just says it all.

Last week, Mr. Karmazin took his campaign to win over lawmakers and regulators to Washington with his pitch that a single satellite radio company would mean more choice and lower prices for consumers — rather than create a foreboding monopoly, as his former chums in the terrestrial radio business contend.

Speaking before an antitrust task force of the House Judiciary Committee, Mr. Karmazin said he was shocked by the very idea that anyone would see a monopoly as the logical result of merging the only two satellite radio broadcasters. “There is no monopoly or duopoly,” he told the hearing. “That’s the most bizarre thing I have ever heard.”
