Google Nest Adding SiriusXM

Google and SiriusXM have announced that SiriusXM will be available on Google Nest smart speakers and displays via the Google Assistant, bringing seamless access to SiriusXM's acclaimed lineup of audio entertainment – featuring Howard Stern, hundreds of commercial-free music channels, plus news, comedy, talk, live sports and more – to tens of millions of homes across the country. Rolling out over the next week, users will see SiriusXM's extensive lineup of programming in the Google Home app, available on iOS and Android devices.

With the Google Assistant, SiriusXM subscribers will be able to use their voice to navigate through SiriusXM's wide array of music and talk programming in a natural, conversational way. Subscribers will be able to simply ask the Google Assistant to play a SiriusXM channel by saying, for example, "Hey Google, play The Beatles Channel on SiriusXM."

Music lovers will be able to use the Google Assistant to enjoy SiriusXM's hundreds of commercial-free music channels. This includes exclusive artist-based channels like Tom Petty Radio, Eminem's Shade 45, The Garth Channel, and LL COOL J's Rock the Bells Radio, plus more than 100 recently added SiriusXM Xtra channels that deliver music for every mood and occasion.

Later this year, subscribers with a Nest Hub or Nest Hub Max will be able to watch SiriusXM video, giving them access to a selection of video clips curated specifically for the Google Assistant that will allow them to see exclusive in-studio performances, interviews and other entertaining moments at SiriusXM.

"The Google Assistant and Google Nest's portfolio of connected home devices, including the Google Home and Nest Hub, utilize intuitive voice recognition technology that make them a great way for subscribers to experience SiriusXM's compelling and exclusive content in the home," said Jennifer Witz, SiriusXM's President, Sales, Marketing and Operations. "We are excited to add Google Nest and Google Home devices to the roster of in-home listening options for our subscribers with streaming access, which now number more than 30 million. Teaming up with Google to deliver great deals on our unparalleled bundle of programming and Google's outstanding products is a win-win for consumers this holiday season."

Google and SiriusXM expect to introduce a combination of offers to consumers.  With any purchase of a Google Nest or Google Home device, eligible customers will be able to get three months of SiriusXM programming free.  Eligible customers who already own a Google Nest or Google Home device are expected to be offered three months of SiriusXM free with the purchase of a SiriusXM All Access or SiriusXM Premier Streaming subscription.  SiriusXM also plans to offer SiriusXM Select, SiriusXM All Access and SiriusXM Premier Streaming subscriptions at promotional rates that will be bundled with a Google Nest Hub.  Each such consumer offer will be governed by their Offer Details and the related terms and conditions.
