Satellite TV and Satellite Radio Join Forces

For customers who already have satellite TV service with DIRECTV, XM radio has been made available as part of the subscription service. XM radio, a satellite radio service initially targeted to mobile listeners like commuting drivers, normally charges a monthly subscription fee. However, DIECTV has partnered with XM radio to offer its customers a selection of free music channels. DirecTV customers under the Total Choice plan, will have access to 50 XM radio stations while Choice Plus subscribers will get over 60 channels of XM radio channels to choose from. This change in subscription means that DIRECTV customers will get to channel surf both satellite TV and satellite radio.
