News reports have been circulating about the possibility of Apple adding a streaming radio application for its new iPhone. Sirius XM Radio subscribers with Internet radio subscriptions will be able to receive their favorite streaming radio channels without the need for a satellite radio. This application has been long awaited by satellite radio subscribers and could potentially boost Sirius XM Radio’s subscriber base.

After the merger between the two satellite giants, many subscribers for both XM Satellite Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio have been concerned about the need for new satellite radios. Although this concern has been unwarranted due to the news from Sirius that existing radios will continue to work, the potential for purchasing soon-to-be obsolete equipment has prevented some radio listeners from making the leap to satellite radio. This streaming radio application for the iPhone could put some of those fears to rest and increase the number of subscribers to Sirius XM Radio Inc.

The Apple iPhone is a dazzling device that is still making waves across the country and can now provide listeners with the personal radio options that they crave from satellite radio. If Sirius jumps into the game, exclusive content, such as broadcasts from Howard Stern and Martha Stewart, or select sports coverage from SIRIUS NFL Radio and SIRIUS NASCAR Radio could be accessed, while also allowing listeners to switch back over to the iPhone’s other features.

The iPhone streaming radio application would be unsuitable as a vehicle solution – the factory installed satellite radio, or a Sirius satellite mounted radio is still your best bet. But office workers and bus or train commuters would enjoy the ability to connect to the Internet using their iPhone while tuning in for the work day or long ride home.

There is no word whether recording capabilities would be present in the new application, but the Sirius Stiletto 2 can record all your favorite programs, artists and sports games to listen to at a later date. Internet subscribers to Sirius Internet Radio currently do not have that capability

Sirius XM Radio offers over 200 radio channels of various content including multiple music stations that are 100% commercial free. Subscribers have a bountiful selection of sports programs, news radio, and talk shows available including some family programming and classic radio programs alongside a variety of International stations.
