Satellite radio has become an incredibly popular audio option for consumers, thanks to its extensive programming choices and high-quality sound. It’s available nearly everywhere around the world, and offers a wide variety of music, news, talk, entertainment, and sports channels. While the service does require a monthly subscription, many people find that it’s well worth the cost.
Unlike terrestrial AM and FM broadcasts, which run on advertising revenue, most satellite radio services are subscription-based. They’re usually accessible via proprietary receivers that decode the encrypted digital signal transmitted by the satellite. They’re commonly paired with mobile devices like smartphones, tablets, and connected home systems. They offer CD-quality sound, static-free listening, and a massive selection of channels that cover almost every possible genre.
For example, Sirius and XM both launched satellite-based radio services in the early 2000s, competing to attract marquee talent (like Oprah Winfrey and Howard Stern) for exclusive programming. However, the companies’ financial struggles hampered their ability to grow. The two ultimately merged in 2008, creating Sirius XM Radio as the sole satellite radio provider in North America.
Most modern Hyundai vehicles come equipped with a Sirius or XM receiver. Depending on your plan, you can listen to the audio from your vehicle at home, at work, or while traveling. You can also connect your mobile device to a car with a SiriusXM app for on-the-go access.
