XM and Sirius Satellite Radio have issued a joint press release that details the different options that will be available to subscribers after the merger - always assuming, of course, that the merger is allowed to proceed.
Tomorrow, XM and Sirius will file their joint reply comments with the FCC. The filing will include detailed programming and pricing plans, including two a la carte options. One option will allow subscribers to choose 50 channels for $6.99 - a 46 percent decrease from the current standard subscription rate of $12.95. The second a la carte option will allow subscribers to choose 100 channels and will allow SIRIUS customers to select from some of the best of XM's programming and XM subscribers to choose from some of the best of SIRIUS' programming.
The combined SIRIUS-XM will also offer several other new programming packages, including two "family-friendly" options. Those choosing one of the "family-friendly" options will be able to block adult-themed programming and receive a price credit.
A la carte programming will be available beginning within one year following the merger, and the other programming options will be available beginning within six months following the merger.
