The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved the merger of XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. and Sirius Satellite Radio, Inc. on July 29, 2008, 17 months after the companies first proposed it. The merger created a company with 18.5 million subscribers, and the deal was valued at US$3.3 billion (equivalent to $4.7 billion in 2024), not including debt. The proposed merger was opposed by those who felt it would create a monopoly. Sirius and XM argued that a merger was the only way that satellite radio could survive. [3]
In September 2018, the company agreed to purchase the streaming music service Pandora, and this transaction was completed on February 1, 2019. As of July 12, 2022, SiriusXM had approximately 34 million subscribers, and claims to be the largest audio entertainment company in North America. [3]
