About SiriusXM
SiriusXM broadcasts hundreds of channels by satellite, mostly to cars, and its subscriptions are often bundled with new vehicles. Exclusive deals with Howard Stern and other presenters have been central to keeping subscribers paying. The merged company inherited debts from both predecessors and was rescued in 2009 by an investment from John Malone's Liberty Media, which later took control of it.
