SiriusXM inks a new marketing agreement with Amazon.com that bundles Amazon's line of Echo smart speakers with SiriusXM's streaming service, offering easy access to SiriusXM's programming at significant savings to consumers in the home. The first phase of the collaboration showcases offers that are available to consumers now for a limited time. It's the largest initiative to date by SiriusXM -- as part of its "Bring Us Home" campaign -- to make its programming available beyond its established base in cars.

"Music and radio have always been central to the Alexa experience and how customers engage with her every single day," said Amazon VP/Alexa Entertainment Jeff Kunins. "We're excited to work with SiriusXM to offer customers even more ways to discover and listen to the content they love - including news, comedy, live sports, music and more from SiriusXM."

"The products that SiriusXM and Amazon offer, and that consumers love, truly go hand in hand," added SiriusXM CEO Jim Meyer. "Amazon is an unquestioned leader in delivering the products people want to their homes, and the extraordinary popularity of their Echo devices, and excitement for its latest Echo Dot, are the latest examples of that. As a leader in audio entertainment, SiriusXM's unparalleled bundle of programming makes listening through those devices more enjoyable."

Eligible customers who currently own or purchase a new Amazon Echo device through Amazon.com will get their first three months free of SiriusXM programming when they subscribe to a new SiriusXM Premier Streaming or SiriusXM All Access subscription. Additionally, customers who go to SiriusXM.com to subscribe to a new SiriusXM All Access or SiriusXM Premier Streaming subscription will also receive Amazon's all-new Echo Dot for free.
