Sirius, XM Detail Post-Merger Offerings
Sirius and XM committed to offer a la carte programming options, hoping to curry favor with regulators as its proposed $13 billion merger comes under increasing scrutiny. Plans in the merged company will range from $6.99 to $16.99, with two a la carte options. The first includes 50 channels for $6.99, while the second allows 100 channels for $14.99, although it allows users to select channels from either service.
A plan, which includes all channels from both services, will be available for $16.99 per month. More details of the plans will be made public when the two companies filed their joint comments with the FCC on Tuesday. In total, eight programming options will be made available within the first year following the completion of the deal.
