The headline should have read "Romer Signs Stern-sized Contract for XM 'Best of House'". How much of the $12.95 are you getting from this?

Actually, I DO have an arrangement with XM...and there IS
compensation involved! XM drafts $12.95 a month out of my
checking account, and agrees to NOT terminate my service! Sweet!
OK...I found out about the XM deal with WSIX on all access, like
everyone else. Big shot: that's me! Connected! <P ID="signature">______________

I thought Capstar owned them then. Almost sure they did.

From what I can gather:
August of 98: Seastar
Prior to 1/00-9/00 AMFM
Post 9/00: Clear Channel

Seastar was one of the Capstar operating companies ( John King was the senior VP in charge). This followed SFX Broadcastings purchase by Capstar. (Actually, SFX was originally called Capstar until Robert FX Sillerman and Steve Hicks took the company public.) When Steve Hicks resigned from SFX, he resurrected Capstar and started buying stations funded by brother Tom and Hicks, Muse, Tate and Furst. Then Capstar was renamed AM-FM after additional staions were acquired, including those of Chancellor and Evergreen. AM-FM still operated the "Star"regions including Seastar, until the purchase by/merger with Clear Channel, which followed CC acquisition of Jacor. it's the Jacor-AM-FM combination that drove the CC station count to 1200.
Totally confused now? Try working there through all of this!
