But how does this new agreement reduce the risk of a large decline in affiliate revenue in 2026, especially after the expiration of its NBA deal? 

At 94.3 MHz, from a tower in Fort Lee, N.J., a tiny 75-watt signal is capable of putting a city-grade signal over much of Bergen County and two boroughs of the City of New York. That's likely what interests the parent of Christian music noncomm network giants K-LOVE and Air1, which is converting a lease agreement into an outright purchase.

A new Chief Operating Officer is coming to Sirius XM, which also shared that it expects its revenue to decline in 2025, as it admitted an effort to lure younger subscribers by heavily promoting its app has been less than successful.
