sirius stock is seriously tanking
sirius stock price chart wow! $500+ once upon a time, around $60 for a few years in the early 2020s, then collapsed more in 2024. In the past year it's floundered in the $20s, closed at $21.31 today.
Currently they want $24.98/month for "all access." $9.99 for "streaming only." Seems expensive but if they get $8 billion annual revenue, somebody is subscribing. No thanks, not me. Motley Fool's analysis.
For some years any service visit to a Ford dealer used to be followed by months of Sirius mailings begging me to subscribe. Now that's been replaced by constant mailings and phone calls from health insurance pushing "free" colonoscopy and a "free" at-home lab test. Make it stop, please!

Sirius/XM does have some amazingly interesting shows. The sheer number of channels creates a lot of space for a wide variety of shows. I particularly enjoyed Bob Dylan's show when Tom Waits would call in and teach him Jewish swear words or read and discuss excerpts from literature he enjoyed. Plus I could find music shows from my classic rock era that I could listen to all the time and rarely hear something I disliked.
Of course the rise of podcasts changed everything because you can find those things online anyways but it was easier to have a lot of interesting material in a radio type format that allowed you to scan without having to sign up or negotiate the internet maze. Especially when you are driving, I like keeping my finger on that channel scan and just finding random interesting things to hear when I'm on a long boring drive.
I signed up to hear Howard and might have stayed even after Howard's show jumped the shark but what really pissed me off was that Sirius/XM was so paranoid about people hearing their broadcasts without paying. I could only use one transmitter for my account, I couldn't use multiple players for work, at home or driving around. That's why I dropped the service. It was ridiculous though, so what if people hear parts of the service and don't always pay. What should be most important is people hearing and then wanting more, it's part of marketing and promotion. I think they would have gained more listeners than lost because it can be addicting when you start listening.
PERSONAL PRICE CHECKER SHOWS THE COST OF EVERYDAY GOODS ARE STEADILY RISING.
(GRA)Milk up from $1.89 to $2.09 in a week A 16 oz bag of walnuts up from $4.49 a bag to $5.89. Frozen spinach jumped from $1.09 to $1.49 a bag in July. A pound of ground beef seems to go up a dime a week.
Cherries(it's the end of the season)leapt from $2.89 a pound to $3.99 a pound.
A nothing drink like Powerade(grape)went from $1.39 a bottle to $1.49 last month.
Ice Cream(Hudsonville,local creamery),from $4.29 to $4.59--because it's hot and everyone's buying it.
The point is,they're diming and quartering us on most items. The only way to make a dent is the occasional coupon pack they send you.
