TORONTO, July 10, 2019SiriusXM Canada, the country’s leading audio entertainment company, announced today that subscribers now have access to the world’s best audio entertainment in more places than ever before. SiriusXM Music & Entertainment subscribers now join SiriusXM Platinum, Streaming Platinum and Streaming Music & Entertainment subscribers with unlimited streaming access to the hundreds of SiriusXM music, sports, talk, news and entertainment channels, at no additional cost, outside the car on a phone, at home, and online.

With this new access to streaming, SiriusXM Music & Entertainment customers will also get access to over 100 recently launched Xtra Music Channels curated across genres and eras for any mood, occasion or activity. This coincides with an expanded preview of SiriusXM video that unlocks more from SiriusXM’s On Demand Archive. Subscribers can see hundreds of videos including in-studio performances, behind-the-scenes moments, and more.

Subscribers to the SiriusXM Platinum and Streaming Platinum Plans will now be able to create their own customized ad-free music stations within the SiriusXM app. With the launch of these Personalized Stations Powered by Pandora, SiriusXM listeners can get a truly unique combination of rich music curation and industry-leading personalization not found in any other audio entertainment service. These Personalized Stations Powered by Pandora, the largest streaming music provider in the U.S., will employ Pandora’s unrivaled listener personalization technology, driven by its pioneering Music Genome Project. The Stations will draw from SiriusXM’s vast music library and be served through SiriusXM’s delivery infrastructure.

“Adding value for our customers has always been priority for us, and has helped us to build an incredibly strong base of loyal subscribers who listen to our exclusive and unparalleled content every day,” said Paul Cunningham, SVP, Sales & Marketing, SiriusXM Canada. “These new offerings give our customers even more value for their money, with all subscribers now receiving access to SiriusXM outside the car. We’re very excited to give everyone the opportunity to explore all of the unique benefits of the SiriusXM app at no additional cost.”

Personalized Stations Powered by Pandora deliver SiriusXM subscribers much of the unique functionality that Pandora listeners in the U.S. love most. Within the SiriusXM app subscribers can create their own ad-free music stations based on the artist or song they are listening to at that moment, or by searching for their favourite artists. In the SiriusXM service, subscribers can then give songs a thumbs up or thumbs down, or even skip songs, to create their own personal channel that plays more of what they want based on their unique tastes.

SiriusXM Video Preview: More exclusive video content is now available to SiriusXM subscribers on the SiriusXM app and web player, featuring memorable performances and interviews from the archive, including artists and newsmakers such as Kevin Hart, Cardi B, Jonas Brothers, P!NK, Khalid, Florida Georgia Line, Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, Reba McEntire, Lady Antebellum, BTS, George Clooney, Tracy Morgan, Chelsea Handler, Ryan Reynolds, KISS, Halsey, Bruno Mars, Brooks Koepka and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Plus, new videos are being added regularly. This marks the next step in SiriusXM’s video offering, following the debut of video from The Howard Stern Show last year, with more to come from other SiriusXM personalities this fall, including Jenny McCarthy, Michelle Collins, Chris “Mad Dog” Russo, Jeff Lewis, Emily Morse, Jim Norton & Sam Roberts, Jason Ellis, Karen Hunter and others.
