NEW YORK, July 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM
announced today that 30 million subscribers now have access to the
world's best audio entertainment in more places than ever before.
SiriusXM Select subscribers now join SiriusXM All Access, SiriusXM
Essential Streaming and SiriusXM Premier Streaming subscribers with
unlimited streaming access to the hundreds of SiriusXM music,
sports, talk, news and entertainment channels, at no additional
cost, outside the car on a phone, at home, and online.
With this new access to streaming, SiriusXM Select customers
will also get access to over 100 recently launched Xtra Music
Channels curated across genres and eras for any mood, occasion
or activity. This coincides with an expanded preview of SiriusXM
Video that unlocks more from SiriusXM's On Demand Archive.
Subscribers can see hundreds of videos including in-studio
performances, behind-the-scenes moments, and more.
Subscribers to the SiriusXM All Access and SiriusXM Premier
Streaming packages will now be able to create their own customized
commercial-free music stations within the SiriusXM app. With the
launch of these Personalized Stations Powered by Pandora,
SiriusXM listeners can get a truly unique combination of rich music
curation and industry-leading personalization not found in any
other audio entertainment service. These Personalized Stations
Powered by Pandora will employ Pandora's unrivaled listener
personalization technology, driven by its pioneering Music Genome
Project. The Stations will draw from SiriusXM's vast music library
and be served through SiriusXM's delivery infrastructure.
"We have always been dedicated to delivering our customers great
value for their subscriptions, and we have achieved remarkable
growth and listener loyalty by delivering unrivaled and exclusive
content in an easy-to-use way. These new initiatives represent
another tremendous step forward in that effort, and give our
customers more value for their money than ever before," said
Jennifer Witz, SiriusXM's President,
Sales, Marketing and Operations. "Tens of millions of SiriusXM
Select subscribers now get access to SiriusXM outside the car, and
the many benefits of the SiriusXM app, at no additional cost. We
are also especially proud that only six months after completing the
merger with Pandora, our teams have brought unique music
personalization to the SiriusXM app using Pandora's
industry-leading technology for our millions of All Access and
Premier Streaming customers."

Personalized Stations Powered by Pandora deliver
SiriusXM subscribers much of the unique functionality that Pandora
listeners love most. Within the SiriusXM app subscribers can create
their own commercial-free music stations based on the artist or
song they are listening to at that moment, or by searching for
their favorite artists. In the SiriusXM service, subscribers can
then give songs a thumbs up or thumbs down, or even skip songs, to
create their own personal channel that plays more of what they want
based on their unique tastes.
SiriusXM Video Preview: More exclusive video
content is now available to SiriusXM subscribers on the
SiriusXM app and web player, featuring memorable performances and
interviews from the archive, including artists and newsmakers such
as Kevin Hart, Cardi B, Jonas Brothers, P!NK, Khalid, Florida Georgia Line, Tim McGraw, Blake
Shelton, Reba McEntire, Lady
Antebellum, BTS, George Clooney,
Tracy Morgan, Chelsea Handler, Ryan
Reynolds, KISS, Halsey, Bruno
Mars, Brooks Koepka and
Dale Earnhardt Jr. Plus, new videos
are being added regularly. This marks the next step in SiriusXM's
video offering, following the debut of video from The Howard
Stern Show last year, with more to come from other SiriusXM
personalities this fall, including Jenny
McCarthy, Michelle Collins,
Chris "Mad Dog" Russo, Jeff Lewis,
Emily Morse, Jim Norton & Sam
Roberts, Jason Ellis,
