SiriusXM announced Tuesday that its channels are accessible to SiriusXM subscribers nationwide using Amazon Alexa.
Customers can ask Alexa to play SiriusXM channels by saying, for example, “Alexa, play the Chicago Cubs on Sirius XM” or “Alexa, play SiriusXM NBA Radio on SiriusXM.”
With the SiriusXM capability for Amazon Alexa, SiriusXM trial or paid subscribers can access a selection of live sporting events. Subscribers to Sirius XM All Access can ask Alexa to play every MLB and MBA game, every NASCAR race, NHL games, PGA Tour events, and college sports. There are more than a dozen dedicated sports talk channels.
“We are delighted that customers can now enjoy SiriusXM’s exclusive shows, live sports, music, and news through Alexa,” Steve Rabuchin, VP Amazon Alexa, said in a statement. “Music, news, and sports are already some of the most popular categories of content on Alexa, and SiriusXM brings even more choices to customers.”
Amazon Alexa also supports online radio streaming for TuneIn and iHeartRadio, where sports stations can be found.
