NEW YORK — Eight days after Audacy Inc. reached an agreement that places some 42 spoken word properties on the SiriusXM channel lineup, the nation’s subscription-based and ad-supported satellite radio company is readying the September 1 rollout of a sports-only access pass.
Introducing “SiriusXM Sports Pass,” available to new domestic subscribers. It comes at a cost of $49 annually (or $5 per month).
Based on the wording of that statement, it is likely designed to be a promotional vehicle for those who have yet to sign on to SiriusXM and is not available to current customers.
“Every new channel, artist performance, live event, and creator collaboration advances our vision for the future of audio: making SiriusXM a home for fandom, where listeners can go deeper into the things they love and feel part of a lasting community,” said SiriusXM CEO Jennifer Witz. “SiriusXM Sports Pass brings that vision to life for sports fans by putting every game and event we carry, hometown voices, national personalities and the daily sports conversation into one simple, affordable subscription. No matter who you cheer for or where you listen, it brings you closer to the teams and voices that matter most to you.”
