Those of us who've been here since the beginning were paying for ads. Sirius was always 100% commercial free music but XM had ads on roughly half of their music channels originally. It was about 5 minutes an hour, the same commercials over and over, and most of the advertisers already had a relationship with XM, such as GM.

XM went 100% commercial free music in February of 2004, a year later in April of 2005, the price went from $9.99/month to $12.95/month, while Sirius was always $12.95. Sirius has internet streaming since almost the beginning, albeit at a not so lovely 32 Kbps, when XM increased in price, they launched their own streaming service at 64 Kbps and then shortly after started doing online exclusive channels.
