SIRIUS and XM Satellite Radio Have Merged

In July, 2008, a merger between Sirius and XM Satellite Radio was approved by the federal government and the company became Sirius XM Satellite Radio.

At this writing, the services are continuing to operate as separate entities but additionally offer portions of programming from each service on the other.

This allows owners of XM and Sirius-based equipment – which are proprietary to their respective service – to continue to benefit from their hardware investment while capitalizing on new programming options.
