TVWeek.com’s Jay Sherman is reporting Thursday that the satellite television provider will be adding 72 XM stations over its service, with the number of stations each customer getting being based on the level of package s/he subscribes to.
As a SIRIUS subscriber who enjoys the service a lot, it’s great to see the innovations that the company has been putting together with regard to hardware and programming. That said, the programming is becoming more and more competitive between SIRIUS and XM, with some exclusive sports contracts moving back and forth between them. While I prefer SIRIUS overall, that’s not to say that XM doesn’t have some things I’d like to have. Now, as a DirecTV subscriber, I will - well, if what I’m looking for is included in the distribution.
Now, if I could only get some more high definition channels…
