Sirius Satellite Radio intends to charge $12.95 a month for subscription fees for its service, it’s told the SEC.
Both Sirius and rival XM had planned on a $9.95 a month sub rate.
Drivers may not notice the price difference, as Sirius plans to have its radio’s as standard equipment in some new models cars, with its price rolled into the new car price.
In an ownership change, Apollo Management now owns shares in both Sirius and XM, having acquired all of Motient Corp’s XM shares. As a result of the swap, Motient now owns software-maker Rare Medium.
