Chances are if you’ve been in a car when the radio was playing, you were listening to SiriusXM programming.
But you don’t need a car to get access to some of radio’s best music and programming with the SiriusXM app.
However, a subscription is required. Fortunately, there are free trials, so you can try out the service before committing to a contract.
On the other hand, you obtain ad-free music and the best talk shows, sports, comedy, and exclusive original content.

While SiriusXM is probably best known for piping music and Howard Stern into cars, they are much more versatile than that.
Subscribe, and you can listen in your car, on your phone or tablet, or online. Plus, SiriusXM is compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Nest, Sonos, Xbox One, and Fire TV. So you won’t be anywhere, you can’t get service, be it in the kitchen, at the gym, or anywhere you can get WiFi or data.
Right now, SiriusXM is offering a three-month free trial without handing over your credit card details. You can check on the SiriusXM website whether you are eligible. This is mainly based on your IP address as the service is restricted, with some limitations, to the 50 US states, D.C., Puerto Rico, and Canada.
SiriusXM also owns Pandora. Between them, they reach over 100 million listeners each month with their audio output. SiriusXM also hosts Howard Stern’s two channels.
SiriusXM is pre-installed in new vehicles manufactured by every major US car brand and available in almost half of second-hand vehicles sold in the United States.
Using the SiriusXM app, subscribers can stream SiriusXM programming at home and on-the-go on various compatible devices and speakers.
The SiriusXM app also delivers streaming-only products such as Pandora-powered personalized stations, SiriusXM video, over 100 Xtra Music channels, and over 10,000 hours of on-demand content.
