    wonder what this will mean for Pandora's price model, which seems to differ markedly from Sirius. I'm nervous Pandora's ad-free subscription is about to a get a lot more expensivehttps://twitter.com/CNN/status/1044272828541997059 …

        Been using Pandora for years as a subscriber. I have no issues leaving if things get greedy for the same service.

        If they start pricing like Sirius just cancel your Pandora and wait a couple weeks. They'll start sending you endless mail offers and will beg you to return and pay almost nothing. It's almost like their subscriber count means more to them than their gross sales.

        SiriusXM has a streaming service, too, so I suspect they merge the platforms and presumably align the subscription models accordingly. Streaming as an add-on is actually quite inexpensive today. Biggest cost impact will be the changing artist royalties model.

        Didn’t realize that @SiriusXM was capable of buying Pandora, since Sirius and XM had merge 10 years ago to stay afloat.

        I’m surprised Pandora is still worth that much. I live a block away from them, but jumped to Spotify years ago. 🤷‍♂️

        As a pandora and Sirius subscriber I agree. No good can come of this to users, but this is why they start a business, to make money, so it is expected.

        Even as a paid service, Pandora left a lot to be desired with static playlists and no real innovation in delivery over time.

        this was forced by the success/competition from Spotify, yes?

        Sirius’s model relies on fake pricing - the actual price is whatever you are willing to pay. The real price for Sirius is something like $30 a year, last time I renewed anyway.
