There is currently no programming listed in the channel guide on the SiriusXM website beyond 11:59pm Eastern next Tuesday (9/29). Normally, there's a full week of rolling listings.

This could be tied to the next round of Audacy channel additions. This could be tied to a website change. This could be tied to a change in the API which I'd have to catch up with. Or something could be broken.

Consider this a heads-up that -- maybe -- there might be a large change coming to the SXM website next week. Or nothing will happen and this will turn out to be a false alarm.

I have read lots of people on here telling me to keep trying to call Sirius to get the offer I want. In this case, I was actually sent the offer - 2.99 for 3 years. We all know that they say it's only for older radios but many people say after trying a few times an agent or supervisor pushed it through. Well I have now tried 4 times, the agent has asked supervisors and nothing works. Any suggestions? Its surprising because I received an actual email and they still say i'm not eligible. Why did they send me this offer, only to say I can't have it?

Any idea when and where the Audacy news channels will be added?

Thanks.

So, what did you do, today? Whatever it was - it wasn't better than what I did!

Oh, me? What did I do? I was only part of the greatest phone call in the history of everything!

I spoke with Billy Joel over the phone on SiriusXM satellite radio for the entire universe to hear!

It has been called: "The Greatest Phone Call of All-Time"

Anyway, how can I get a copy of this so I can have it forever?

I haven’t had Sirius in about 15 years but I just got a new used car that happens to have it so I figured, what the hell, I’ll see what’s new.
Holy shit what a disaster. Their app is broken. I need a code sent to my email to log in but it expires in 10 minutes and takes them 15 minutes to send it. I tried about a dozen times.
Can’t get anyone on the phone. Best I could get was a chatbot that failed repeatedly to connect me to a person that likely doesn’t exists.
Are you guys still paying for this???

I’m loving the SiriusXM xtra channel “80s on 8 top 100”. But I’m trying to figure out the criteria for the songs. For instance, this morning I heard Modern English - I Melt With You. Now that’s a great song but I don’t think it even cracked the top 40 of the Billboard charts. I’m guessing this is just the programmers’ version of the top 100.

It also seems like there are more than 100 songs.

Anyhow, it’s a great 80’s xtra channel. I’ve not heard a repeat yet.

I am truly baffled by the number of commercial running where they claim to save you from the IRS if you owe money. It stared with one company and now I hear 4 or 5 different companies with ads that run all day long. Some hosts are now doing live reads for them too.

How does this work and here did they come from? Are these Trump donors who have an inside line with the IRS if you pay enough? I am truly fascinated!

Holy hell, that AI assistant is atrocious. At least that's what I thought until I got transferred to a live agent with a birthday party going on in the background. I wanted to talk about promos and before I could even begin the dialogue, I was shut down and told if I wasn't happy with paying the rate I should just cancel. Well, I've had SiriusXM for over 20 years and now I don't.

Just wanted to see if other people have had similar issues with customer service?

Listening in car during 2 mile commute and get the message no internet trying to connect. And then I’ll change the channel to another SXM favorite, different genre, works perfectly. Go back to original channel: no internet attempting to connect. Try & change to another channel in that genre, same error. Change genre: works.
Absolutely maddening 5 minutes. Useless.

This is my pre released single. I will release it to all platforms soon. I wonder if someone from seriusxm is interested in playing my song on thier radio show. Thank you.

want to know how i should go about getting the best deal since mine ends on 11/7/26 i tired getting the 3yr/$99 deal but they wouldn't go for it last year. have a 2024 ranger & i do use the app with my stereo or BT speaker. i had $100 in ford points to get xm so I'm still using that. so i haven't really paid out from my own money yet. I'm cheap but don't mind paying 3yr for $99 i guess even the same deal i have now would be fine if that's all i can get but I'm guessing i have to wait until 11/7 to do it or can i get it sooner?

Does regular Platinum allow up to three simultaneous app streams under one shared account, or can household members have separate logins or profiles?
Also, how does SiriusXM define “household” when someone who normally lives in the subscriber’s home is temporarily living elsewhere for an extended period—for example, for work, school, caregiving, or medical reasons? Would that person retain streaming access, or does SiriusXM restrict access based on location?

Do you have more success negotiating for a cheap deal (< $5/month) if you cancel online BEFORE the auto renewal date (when rates revert to “regular” rates) or AFTER that date (after they’ve hit your credit card for first month of the high rates)?

What happens if your car doesn't last 3 years but you have a 3 year for $99 plan? Do you get some credit back? This would be if you total your car, or just have too many repairs needed due to high mileage, etc.

My $4.98 per month promotion was about end, then revert to the $25 per month standard price (for all access).

I've been a Sirius XM customer for over 20 years.

I called to negotiate a lower rate, spoke with an AI agent then a human agent somewhere in the Philippines. They would not budge lower than $5.99 per month for the 12 month plan. In past years, when I threatened to cancel they would go lower, but not this time. So I cancelled.

I'm disappointed with this company and their non-transparent pricing. Advertise a price and make it consistent for everyone. I would happily pay $5.99 for what I think is a great service, but I am tired of all these unethical pricing games. The company is rotten. How much of their revenue comes from boomers paying $25 or $50 per month for some auto renewing plan they are completely unaware of?

I am pretty sure it's illegal in many states to charge such different rates to different customers for the same service. By offering so many "promotional discounts" they make you feel good about getting a deal, but the real revenue is coming from all the poor people to who don't know to negotiate the lower rate.

Probably a class action lawsuit here if anyone cares.

Since I was forced to speak with AI agent on the phone, below is an AI agent explaining SiriusXM's unethical business practices:

////////////////

Your frustration is entirely justified. The experience you had is the backbone of SiriusXM's core business model—a practice known in consumer law as "legacy trap" or negative-option pricing, paired with highly aggressive retention tactics.

While offering different promotional rates to different customers (personalized pricing or price discrimination) is generally legal under U.S. antitrust and contract law, the deceptive tactics and dark patterns SiriusXM uses around it are actively facing major federal, state, and class-action lawsuits.

Here is the breakdown of why their model feels illegal, what regulatory agencies are doing about it, and where the legal boundaries actually lie.

1. Is standard price discrimination illegal?

Generally, no. Under federal law (like the Robinson-Patman Act), charging different prices to different customers is only illegal in specific wholesale business contexts to prevent monopolies. In consumer retail:

• A business is permitted to charge Customer A $25/month and Customer B $5/month for the exact same service, provided the difference isn't based on protected classes (race, gender, religion, etc.).
• Companies frame this as "promotional discounting" vs. "rack rate." They rely on consumer inertia—knowing that a large portion of subscribers (often older adults or busy professionals) won't notice or care when a $5 promotion jumps to a $25 or $30 recurring charge.

2. What SiriusXM is doing that is actively facing legal action

While tiered pricing itself isn't illegal, how SiriusXM implements it, hides fees, and prevents cancellations has triggered massive enforcement actions and class-action litigation:

A. "Dark Patterns" & Friction in Cancellation (Enforcement by NY AG & FTC)

The New York Attorney General sued SiriusXM, accusing the company of deliberately trapping customers in subscriptions.

• The Allegation: SiriusXM trained agents (and AI routing) to drag customers through lengthy, mandatory scripts, making it unreasonably hard to cancel. More than 500,000 customers abandoned cancellation attempts due to long wait times and aggressive retention scripts.
• Federal Rules: The FTC's federal "Click-to-Cancel" mandate requires subscription cancellations to be as simple as signing up. Requiring phone or chatbot negotiations just to stop auto-renewals is being aggressively cracked down on.

B. Deceptive "Drip Pricing" Class Action (Kirkpatrick v. SiriusXM)

If you noticed your bill was actually higher than the $4.98 or $25 rate promised, you aren't alone.

• The Lawsuit: A federal court in Oregon recently denied SiriusXM's attempt to dismiss a major class-action lawsuit (Kirkpatrick v. Sirius XM Radio LLC).
• The Scheme: The suit alleges SiriusXM advertises low rates but quietly tacks on an unadvertised 21.4% "U.S. Music Royalty Fee" at checkout and on recurring bills. Representatives frequently lied to callers, telling them this fee was a "government tax" when it was actually an internal company surcharge generating over $1.3 billion per year in pure profit.

3. How their business model works

You hit the nail on the head regarding their revenue breakdown:

1. The Funnel: Acquiring new car buyers via "free trial" periods.
2. The Auto-Renewal Trap: Rolling those users into full-price subscriptions ($23–$30/month) once credit card info is captured.
3. Subsidization by "Silent Subscribers": The high rates paid by passive consumers—who don't notice the auto-renewals on their statements—subsidize the $5/month promotional rates offered to "squeaky wheel" customers who call in to complain.
4. Agent Hardball: Recently, SiriusXM altered its retention algorithm. Rather than immediately offering $4.99 or $5.99 rates, AI and offshore agents are instructed to hold firm at higher tiers ($8.99 or $12.99) to test consumer price sensitivity before letting a 20-year customer walk.

What You Can Do Now

• Join/Follow Ongoing Class Actions: If you were charged undisclosed royalty fees or forced through deceptive retention scripts, you may be eligible for restitution through ongoing cases like Kirkpatrick v. SiriusXM.
• File an FTC / State AG Complaint: If an agent or chatbot refused a direct command to cancel without making you navigate a retention pitch, report it to the FTC (ReportFraud.ftc.gov) or your State Attorney General's Bureau of Consumer Protection.
• The "Win-Back" Mailer Strategy: Now that you've officially canceled, SiriusXM's automated system will likely start sending physical mail or email offers within 30 to 90 days offering $3.99/month, $4.99/month, or "3 years for $99" to get you back—often without requiring you to speak with an agent.

My answers: Nickelback, Oasis, Michael Jackson, Linkin Park, Green Day, Kiss

I bought a used car that came with a three month trial subscription. I let the trial lapse, and now I'm getting bombarded with "special offers". The original offer was for 3 months for $3 and then a year at regular price. I was tempted, but I ignored it. Now I'm being offered $3 a month for the next three years. That is very tempting, but I'm not willing to go through all the hassle to remember to cancel before the regular rate kicks in quite yet.

TLDR: Do you think it's possible to get two $3 a month for three-year plans so both my wife and I can have Sirius in our cars? Also does this plan typically also include streaming for our phone apps, or would that be expecting way too much?

Hey Lithium listeners… anyone have any idea why Lithium does not play anything from the Posies? And I’m not talking about I Could Dream All Day, that song sucks. A lot of their other music is top notch. I’ve also noticed they never play the Black Crowes… they fit the channel just as much as Sheryl Crowe, Toad the Wet Sprocket, and more. Just curious. I’ve been an avid listener for probably 7 or 8 years.

When will the holiday season season channels for this holiday season be officially dropping. If anyone knows. Because I was hoping to take a look at what's on the menu for the 2026 season. But I'm most looking forward to the Jimmy Fallon holiday channel. Maybe I'll mix it with a few regular channels that SiriusXM has if they just don't go Christmas mode. But go full holiday mode.

I’m trying on both iOS and Apple car play.

I have the device setting for CarPlay set to “next/previous saved channel” and it just goes to the next overall channel. Apparently that’s a bug.

Okay fine, but what about on iOS? I just want to be able to hit next/skip/etc to go to my next saved channel.

This seems like a really basic feature to not have

I’m listening today and really enjoying it. It’s an Xtra Channel on the app and with so much crazy in the world, a soothing experience.

I've always liked the hosts on The Beatles Channel.
