SiriusXM Launches Low Cost Streaming Only Plan

SiriusXM has added an "Essential" subscription streaming only plan, making its multi-channel service available on mobile, tablet, desktop and other connected devices. Essential subscribers get 300 channels from SiriusXM's lineup of music, comedy, news, sports and entertainment.

The Essential plan is priced at $1 for the first three months, then $8 per month thereafter. Additional compatible devices include Amazon Alexa, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, Apple TV, Roku, Sonos speakers, Xbox and Sony PlayStation. 

"The strength of SiriusXM's programming is evident in the tens of millions of people who subscribe and listen in their cars year after year. We've now created the Essential subscription as an appealing option for the many people, particularly younger consumers, who don't have a car or don't spend a lot of time in their car," said Matt Epstein, Vice President of Marketing, SiriusXM Outside the Car."
