Question

When XM and Syrius Merge in February, will an XM subcriber such as me get all of Syrius channels?

Answer 1

I think all the details are being worked out in who will get what...

But apparently you will need a new radio to get the Sirius programming also

Answer 2

Not immediately, as Gearbox says they're still trying to figure out all the details. One nice thing, there'll be no interruption nor degradation of service. It will  take a while to get the new deals in place. They've also got to figure out how to get hardware into the marketplace that will pick up both satellites.

Eventually I think you'll see package deals where you can select your favorite 50 from each at $6-$7 - that's already been announced by Mel Karmazin the CEO. The other deals will be introduced over time.

Answer 3

No.  Here are the only plans that will give you any Sirius programming:

- A la carte 2: choose 100 channels (a combination of Sirius and XM) for (I think) $14.99 (requires a new, post-merger radio)

- All XM + 11 (pre-determined) Sirius channels
