XM Expands Basic Service

XM Expands Basic Service
Effective April 2nd, XM Satellite Radio is changing their basic service package. The monthly subscription price for XM's basic service will increase to $12.95 (from $9.99).

The reason? XM will finally be including XM Radio Online (previously $3.99/mo) for free for regular subscribers (it's about time) and Opie and Anthony will be removed as a Premium Channel (previously an additonal $1.99/mo) and become part of the regular XM programming.

XM is also offering existing customers the unique opportunity to lock in the current $9.99 monthly rate with a one-year prepaid plan and deeper discounts with a two, three, four, or five-year prepaid plan until April 2. The price change will not affect XM's Family Plan, which allows XM subscribers to add up to four additional subscriptions for $6.99 a month per radio.

In the spirit of Satellite Radio, I will not edit or remove any comments unless they are purely promotional. The seven forbidden words are completely acceptable, so go nuts. HTML tags can't be used, but you can simply type an URL (include the http://) to create a live link.
