Many of our satellite and internet radios have the ability to block, password-protect, or hide channels you’d prefer not to play. Please refer to your radio manual for instructions.

Separate locations or multiple radios in one location will require separate subscriptions. However, you are able to put all of your subscriptions on one account. With both our satellite and internet service, multiple radios at one physical location may qualify for a multi-subscription discount.

Access to our internet service requires either the purchase of a SiriusXM Commercial Player or you can also access SiriusXM Music for Business through your existing computer with the online media player and through your smartphone or tablet using the SiriusXM app. The minimum recommended requirements include: Connection Speed – ISDN (64 kbit/s) or higher.

Yes. Installing either a satellite or internet radio is relatively easy. When installing a satellite radio, you’ll need to make sure the SiriusXM antenna supplied with your radio is mounted outside with a clear view to the sky. To access our internet service you have two equipment options; (1) a dedicated SiriusXM Commercial Tuner which requires a Wifi or ethernet internet connection or (2) an internet-connected computer which can access our service using our online media player. Once installed, these solutions can be easily connected to your business’ current sound system.

If you’d prefer professional installation, we’ll gladly refer you to a professional installer in your area. For more information contact SiriusXM Music for Business.

Both our satellite and internet services offer great commercial-free music. However, with the internet service, 29 of the music channels have been re-programmed and are 100% uninterrupted (no hosts or SiriusXM branding). Our internet offering also includes additional music channels that are available only to internet subscribers.

With a SiriusXM Music for Business subscription, businesses gain access to commercial-free music curated by passionate and dedicated people who specialize in their genres, selecting tracks to create exclusive music experiences for your business that you won’t hear anywhere else. SiriusXM delivers what your customers want to hear. From pop to jazz, standards to rock, blues to classical, we offer a diverse selection of music that will keep your customers engaged, energized and entertained, and your employees motivated! In addition, unlike other music services, there are no long-term contracts.

SiriusXM offers both consumer and business subscription plans. Only our business services includes the required payments of public performance royalties to organizations such as SOCAN and Re:Sound, which represent the music copyright holders in Canada. These royalties are included in our business subscription plans. With SiriusXM you get a unique music service that helps create an engaging and entertaining environment for your business, and we pay the music royalties on your behalf.

When music is played at a business for the enjoyment of patrons and others, this is deemed a “performance” by the music artist, for which a royalty fee must be paid to performance rights organizations such as SOCAN & Re:Sound.

For the convenience of our business customers, SiriusXM includes these royalties in the price of our commercial subscription plans, and pays the required royalties directly to the performance rights organizations on behalf of the businesses.

Our internet service is $35.99 per month and includes over +200 ad-free formatted specifically for business use, with no interruptions, on-air hosts, or mentions of SiriusXM. Our satellite service is $35.99 per month for over 80 channels. Longer term discounts may apply.

Unlike our consumer service, a subscription to our business service incorporates the payment of public performance royalties to performance rights organizations that represent the music copyright holders, including SOCAN and RE:Sound in Canada. Unlike other commercial music subscription services, there are no long-term contracts for either service.

For more information on these royalties, please visit www.socan.ca and www.resound.ca.
