Where is Sirius XM on my iPhone?
Where are the flip4mac guys with the answer to my problem?
I need Sirius XM, but more importantly HOWARD STERN on my iPhone!!
If you own a satellite radio, you'll soon have the option to get even more channels than the 130 or so that you already receive. You can thank Uncle Sam for the increased variety -- and for the higher fees it will cost you.
The two satellite services, XM and Sirius, have been offering different programs since the two companies were launched about seven years ago.
Sirius has Howard Stern, XM has Bob Edwards. Sirius has the NFL, XM has Major League Baseball. XM has programs hosted by Bob Dylan and Tom Petty, while Sirius has a Bruce Springsteen channel and will launch a three-hour Beatles show tomorrow.
But all that competition will begin to disappear over the next few months, now that the Federal Communications Commission has agreed to let the two services merge into Sirius XM Radio.
First up will be new "Best of Both" packages that will let subscribers to one service add channels from the other service. The channels to be included in the packages haven't been announced, but price has: an extra $4 per month added to the regular monthly rate of $12.95.
The new merged company is also under an FCC-imposed deadline to come up with radios that can receive either service. The radios are supposed to be on the market within the next nine months. CEO Mel Karmazin said last week that they will be available well before that deadline.
