The first nay vote is in.

The Hollywood Reporter states today that:

 Regarding the satellite radio merger, Democrat Michael Copps has added his negative vote to the two positive ones registered by commissioner Robert McDowell and chairman Kevin Martin, both Republicans.

Now, XM and Sirius are considering just how far to go with concessions in order to sway the two remaining commissioners.

It seems like forever now that Howard Stern has been challenging the FCC. Even with monumental fiscal victories the FCC is left with egg on their face.

I’ve got Sirius in my car and I can’t wait to hear Howard harp on this tomorrow.
