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.
