GM Signs Up Its One Millionth XM Subscriber

 

DETROIT and WASHINGTON, Dec. 14/Satnews Daily/ ¾ GM said Monday it recently signed up its one millionth XM Satellite Radio subscriber.

 

"GM reaching its one-millionth XM subscriber is a major milestone and demonstrates the commitment GM has to XM Satellite Radio," says XM president and CEO Hugh Panero.

"We're extremely pleased that GM customers have embraced XM and we're proud to join our friends at GM in celebrating this latest milestone of our partnership."

 

John F. Smith, GM group vice president of North America vehicle sales said more than 75 percent of current GM customers with XM-equipped vehicles have been telling them they would only consider or prefer to buy a vehicle with XM and 90 percent say they will recommend it to friends and family. GM was the first OEM to offer factory-installed satellite radio and we offer more than 50 car and truck models in 2005 available with XM Satellite Radio.

 

GM said the first XM-equipped vehicles, Cadillac DeVilles and Sevilles, were produced in November 2001 and the one millionth XM-equipped GM vehicle rolled off the line in February 2004. Today, one out of three GM vehicles purchased are equipped with factory-installed XM Satellite Radio.
