It appears that Sirius XM is seeking to get an even more accurate opinion of what listeners like. Today I received an email inviting me to become part of the Sirius XM Listener Power Panel. The Listener Power panel gives participants a chance to become a voice with meaning regarding Sirius XM programming. Panelists could at times receive payment for their participation in surveys. I have already taken the initial survey, which took about 5 minutes, and was unpaid.

The Letter I Received:

It is good to see that Sirius XM is digging deeper in understanding their subscriber base. The company has had small polls from time to time on their website, but the depth and detail in these surveys is certain to paint a more clear picture for the company to use in their programming decisions.
