The radio broadcasting giant, which features hundreds of channels focusing on every inch of media and entertainment and features channels specifically dedicated to artists like Phish, Willie Nelson, and Dave Matthews, will offer the “Student Premier” Package for just $4 per month. Qualifying students will be able to tune in to commercial-free music, plus SiriusXM Video, college conference channels, sports, comedy, news and entertainment, and more via their mobile phone, laptop and connected devices including Xbox, PlayStation, or any device powered by Amazon Alexa.
The monthly $4 fee is a 69% discount off the regular price of SiriusXM’s Premier Streaming cost of $12.99 per month.
“Today’s college students grew up listening to SiriusXM in their parent’s car, and now we have a package built just for them,” SiriusXM Outside The Car VP Matt Epstein mentioned in a statement to go with Wednesday’s announcement. “Our Student Premier Package enables students to have their own subscription and continue to enjoy the SiriusXM programming they love in their dorm room, at home or on the go. We’re delivering students an incredible selection of content, including the newly launched Personalized Stations Powered by Pandora, Xtra channels, SiriusXM Video, and more, all at a great price.”
Subscriptions to the Student Premier Package are available to qualified consumers who maintain their verified student status.
