Sirius XM is helping stave off your boredom by providing free access to its programming through May 15, 2020. “With so many people asked to stay at home, we are making our full streaming lineup of music, entertainment, news, and information easily accessible to everyone,” said Jim Meyer, SiriusXM CEO.

A La Carte Choose from a selection of programming including commercial–free music, plus sports talk, news and entertainment. In addition to the 50 channels† you choose, you’ll also get several news and special interest channels — including BBC World Service, NPR® and The Catholic Channel — at no extra cost.

The technology of the radios and the costs of the satellites drive up the prices we pay for the subscriptions and the radio costs. Getting commercial free radio means that sirius radio can not make any ad revenue to offset some of the cos so all the costs are put onto the subscriber.

SiriusXM Select: SiriusXM Select is basically all of the music stations available, all the comedy stations, all the news stations, plus the bulk of the sports channels with the exception of Major League Baseball.

SiriusXM Music & Entertainment Family Friendly $16.99/mo Fees and taxes apply.

Telling the Difference Between Sirius and XM Radios Just turn the unit over and look for the serial number. If the serial number has 12 digits, it’s a Sirius unit. XM radios, on the other hand, have eight-digit serial numbers. The only exception is newer SiriusXM units, which also have eight digits.

SiriusXM Packages There are three different SirusXM packages available that are applicable to you if you’re interested in listening while you’re driving. SiriusXM All Access: SiriusXM All Access gets you everything in SirusXM Select, plus two Howard Stern Channels, plus Major League Baseball.
