  1. The merger doesn't seem like anything positive or negative. I don't know enough about either company to have an opinion here. I never heard of SiriusXM before today. I do know this will lead to a more expansive music library for Pandora and possibly removing music from other platforms.

  3. I think that Sirius XM buying Pandora is a smart move because if they come together with a company bigger than them then they can become one of the largest streaming services.

  4. I think this is a good move for the business owners because they are earning more money for their companies. On the other hand, this deal seems like it will end up forcing people to only use their streaming service because the article mentioned it will end up being the "largest audio-entertainment" company in the world. Overall, it seems like a great business move for both of the parties involved because the both benefit.

  5. SiriusXm is trying to buy out Pandora on a 3.5 billion deal. Although Pandora has more people listing to the app they are willing to agree to this deal.

  6. Pandora and Sirius XM coming together doesn't seem like a bad idea. This could help expand their music and gain much more financially. I don't know what Sirius XM is but if they can spend this much for pandora then they must be a great company.

  7. Pandora should still be independent because SiriusXM is satellite radio and Pandora is a app that you download and play music on so I don't think that they should merge.

  12. I think this is a great move for both companies and all music streams. Both Companies with make a lot of money dealing with each other. They could possibly take music streaming to the next level along with sales and radio play. This is a great move for both of them , and this is huge for music streaming.

  13. To be completely honest in certain aspects it is, because they even said Spotify is their biggest competitive. But at least they still have users. The company SiriusXM will give a sense of trust because they were big in 2008. This could work for them to be the " the world's largest audio entertainment company" as long as they put in the hard work and continue to keep and gain audience any thing is possible.

  14. I think that its a good move, though i dont listen to the radio much, SiriusXM is taking a big step to expand their library and gain more listeners. This will make it difficult for other companies to compete and make their desired profit.

  15. I believe this is a good move for Pandora and is a good platform to the business to become even more successful. There are many Pandora uses that are willing to use the app. Pandora and Sirius are expanding their companies that into a greater deal. They both benefit each other.

  16. I think that this was a good move because now that these two companies came together there would be higher digital streaming. Also both companies can make a lot of money working together.

  17. I think this would be a good opportunity for both of the companies. The reason why I think so is because both of these companies are big companies with many subscribers. If they combined into one company that would make them the largest music/entertainment company there is. as for digital streaming that mean more songs to listen to and download.

  18. This would be a great move by both companies by making the artist get more streams and the company will become bigger financially when more people start to get attracted.

  19. The idea is fine as long SiriusXM has paid to do digital streaming.

  20. Sirius XM is doing a big thing buying Pandora. It could probably bring Sirius a big jump in sales and views. So definitely a smart move to try but hopefully it works out in the end.

  21. If SiriusXM is buying Pandora then it would create more opportunities for Pandora. I say this because if this deal goes through then it could take away from the other platforms. I cant really determine if it would be a good move or not because the article doesn't give us enough information.

  22. I think this is a good move because it will probably bring more attention to pandora and it will give pandora more oppurtunities.

  23. Yes I think this is a good move and Streaming media is video or audio content sent in compressed form over the Internet and played immediately, rather than being saved to the hard drive. So it would be a big move for Sirius.

  24. SiriusXM buying Pandora is a good move because it will create the largest audio entertainment company.

  25. I think this is a good move because Pandora is already in competition with Spotify and their collaboration with SirusXM could earn them a lot of money and popularity.

  26. i say this is a good move for pandora because they can climb back up in the rankings and save their business. they could combine and do something good .

  27. If SiriusXM is buying Pandora than it could be a good move. Pandora itself does have a lot of users. If its true that Pandora cant survive independently than working with SiriusXM can help keep the service running. With this merging than it could mean that SiriusXM could make a name for itself in the streaming services. Hopefully this merging will be extremely beneficial for both company's.

  28. This is a great move for SiriusXM. There are millions of Pandora users. This is a very smart move to help their company get a bigger audience. Some downsides are that they may change how Pandora works and make many users mad but they also may keep it the same

  31. I think this merger is a good move. SiriusXM and Pandora are two giants in music streaming. Now that they are merging, they will double, or even triple their stocks.

  32. I think it is a good thing that SiriusXM is buying pandora because this would benefit both companies being that pandora has so many user and SiriusXM has a lot of users both companies will be making a lot of money.

  33. I think the merger is a good move, and with Pandora being a middle of the pack app, in terms of streaming, this move could improve output and profits.

  34. Pandora and Sirus XM coming together is kind of a really good idea. It makes the music industry connect features and give users the opportunity to listen to multiple songs in different ways. This will also help with their sales to go up and there views will go up. Overall it would be a good idea.

  38. I think this is good because there are more opportunities for Pandora. It'll help with sales and make more money in the music industry. It's a good idea because some companies can be compatible with each other and make twice as more money as they usually make, digital streaming will be more advanced and even better possibly. Overall it's a good move.

  41. I don't really have an opinion off of it, but it seems fine do what you do. Seems like it would be a good direction for the company considering the amount of people who use it. the income of what it will bring it could be good too.

  42. I personal do believe that this is a great idea for Pandora. As more music apps are being created Pandora is being used less and less. Allowing this will lead to more money for the company.

  43. on their own pandora has achieved a lot of success alone and with sinus xm it will make things better for them and I think this may be an improvement on digital streaming as well.

  45. Pandora is a good company for having lots of music and it being merged with sires xm is a good idea cause I believe that doing this will help them both especially since there are more and more music apps being created making Pandora an app being used less and less and since sires xm and Pandora are combining their companies, then I'm sure it'll help them create even more money.
