SIRIUS XM Satellite Radio Tempts Former Subscribers with Freebie

Friday November 20, 2009
SIRIUS XM Satellite Radio has a pretty attractive promotion going on right now designed to lure back former subscribers. Deactivated radios have been "turned back on" for almost two weeks (as of 11/17) in an attempt to tempt once-paying customers with 60 channels. The freebie will stayed in place until November 30.

If you take the bait and decide you miss your Satellite Radio, SIRIUS XM will let you resubscribe for 5 months for $20 and waive the reactivation fee. Their offer ends December 15, 2009.

It's not a bad promo. I have to admit: I turned on my radio and enjoyed a couple of channels while doing some work at home. I left the service "in a huff" earlier this year - after some frustration - but now am mulling it over. It might be an offer I can't refuse.

I’m one of the “former subscribers”. After I heard about this, I turned my XM radio back on and listened for a couple of day. Still sounds like they have a reduced playlist on all the decades channels. Listened to other music channels, nothing there seems to have changed that much either. So it looks like I’m going to remain a “former subscriber”
