New lower cost Streaming only plan

[Tampa8]

Get Essential Streaming Offers from SiriusXM

All available channels, including all music, all added online only music, news, talk, sports talk and I *think* Baseball games. Does not include NHL, NBA, NCAA, or Stern.

Thanks for the heads up, going to give this a shot for a bit as I dropped xm a while ago

At $96 a year I'll pass...

Yes for a whole year that is a bit pricey I will play around with it for the free three months and see how hat goes

It doesn't show MLB games in the channel lineup - can you confirm or deny that they're there?

Ugh - no baseball. And even though when you click the signup link and see MLB Network listed there, it's not part of the package.

Not only no live sports, also doesn't include any of the sports league specialty stations like MLB Network, NFL, NHL, NBA, and the specialty college ones. Does include the national sports talk ESPN, FOX, CBS, Mad Dog, those type. If they had left the league specialty stations in there I would consider this versus calling every six months to "cancel to negotiate" for the $50/6month all-access.

When you click the link and then view the channels - it really ticks me off that this is what's displayed... Because MLB Network Radio is NOT in the lineup...

From what I recall, the MLB contract with SiriusXM, requires you to have a physical hardware satellite radio in order to get the full MLB play by play, which is why the "online only" plans don't include that.

That would be incorrect. The online only full plan (Premier) not only carries MLB live games, it carries both teams transmission.

Like the others looking at the link it seemed like MLB might be included. Going to their lineup card for that package it does not show any live games or the major sports own talk channels.

Can I listen to Major League Baseball games online?

Yes, you can stream every Major League Baseball game on your computer or mobile device with a subscription to the All Access package or with the streaming add-on to a qualifying satellite radio subscription.​

Anyone know if SiriusXM 25% Military Discount is available for new SiriusXM Essential streaming package?

www.siriusxm.com/military25 :

Offer Details: Activate an eligible package and plan and you will save 25% off our standard rates for the life of the subscription. Fees and taxes apply. The subscription plan you choose will automatically renew thereafter, and you will be charged according to your chosen payment method at 25% off our then-current rates.

From what I can tell, the standard promo plans available by calling would be cheaper than the military discount, unless you really hate to call every 6-12 months.
