Sirius XM Radio said Tuesday that it added 715,000 net new
subscribers in the second quarter, bringing its total subscriber base to more
than 25 million as of mid-year.
The satellite radio firm controlled by John Malone's Liberty
Media said that was a new quarterly record for the time since the Sirius-XM
merger, according to THR.
In comparison, Netflix ended the first quarter with 29.17
million U.S. subscribers, and cable giant
Comcast reported 21.94 million video
and 51.9 million total customers.
"Strong automotive sales helped drive 15 percent growth
in net additions over the second quarter of 2012 and set a post-merger record
for quarterly net subscriber additions," the company said.
Sirius XM also raised its full-year guidance for total net
subscriber additions to 1.5 million from 1.4 million previously.
