SiriusXM Holdings Inc., known for its content-streaming
offerings while in a vehicle, is offering a plan for subscribers to
listen to content outside of their cars.
The company now sells an "essential" plan that costs $1 a month
for the first three months, it said Monday. After that, the plan
costs $8 a month. SiriusXM said its essential plan subscribers will
also be able to listen to different sports talk channels, comedy
programming and more.
Sirius also has a $15.99-a-month offering, which has content
from radio personality Howard Stern and several sports leagues.
SiriusXM's efforts are designed to help it compete with
companies like Spotify Technology SA (SPOT), which owns
music-streaming service Spotify.
In February SiriusXM closed its purchase of Pandora Media Inc.,
the parent of music-streaming service Pandora.
