SiriusXM: Music, Sports & News

One app for live audio

SiriusXM: Music, Sports & News brings several kinds of listening into one Android app: curated music channels, live sports coverage, news, talk shows, comedy and podcasts. It suits listeners who prefer a channel or programme with a clear point of view, rather than building every session from individual tracks.

Music with a human touch

The music side is organised around stations and genres, with channels dedicated to particular artists and styles. That makes it useful for focused listening, whether you want familiar songs, deeper cuts from a favourite artist or something that can play in the background without constant queue management.

Sports, talk and news

Sports fans get live play-by-play and analysis covering major professional leagues and college competitions. The app also brings together news, personality-led talk and comedy programming, so it can replace several separate audio destinations for users who move between music, current events and spoken shows.

• Good fit for: people who want live radio-style programming alongside on-demand audio.
• Useful range: music, sports, news, talk, comedy and podcasts in one catalogue.
• Worth noting: the large mix of channels and programmes is aimed at discovery as much as repeat listening.

What the numbers say

The app has a 4.50/5 rating from more than 1.1 million reviews and has passed 10 million installs. Those figures point to an established service with a broad Android audience. It is published by SiriusXM in the Music & Audio category, and is best considered by anyone who wants a wide, guided selection of audio rather than a music-only player.
