SiriusXM (SIRI) and Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) unveiled Thursday a marketing agreement bundling Amazon's Echo smart speakers with SiriusXM's streaming service.

Under the agreement, new and existing Echo customers can subscribe for three months of SiriusXM free. In addition, new six-month SiriusXM All Access or SiriusXM Premier Streaming subscriptions come with a free Echo Dot.

Additional initiatives involving Amazon devices, the Alexa voice service and SiriusXM programming are expected to be announced this year, Sirius said.

Sirius shares were up 2.2% to $6.39 premarket.
