Merger News

XM Satellite Radio Inc. and Sirius Satellite Radio U.S. Department of Justice approves merger

The U.S. Department of Justice recently announced its approval of the merger between U.S. companies XM Satellite Radio Inc. and Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. Many of you have asked what does this mean for subscribers to XM Satellite Radio in Canada?

There will be no change in the service we deliver to our Canadian subscribers.
This U.S. development has no immediate implications for Canadian subscribers. XM Canada will provide further comment when there are new developments from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC). XM Canada is an independent Canadian-owned company that holds the exclusive license to provide XM Satellite Radio services in Canada. We remain committed to providing our subscribers with the finest digital audio entertainment and information services in the country.

The stated intent of our XM U.S. partner and Sirius is to maintain two separate satellite delivery systems. This will ensure that your XM radio will continue to operate as it does today for the foreseeable future. There will be no disruption or change to the availability of your XM service as we continue to deliver the best in commercial-free music, comedy, talk, news, and sports including coverage of the NHL, and exclusive coverage of MLB (Major League Baseball) and the PGA (Professional Golf Association).
