Industry Ink (12/13/2012)

December 13, 2012/by Jessica Nicholson

Sirius XM Chief Executive Mel Karmazin is leaving the post in February and potential replacements are beginning to emerge. According to Reuters, Sirius XM’s Pres. of Operations and Sales Jim Meyer is a leading internal contender because he oversees the company’s lucrative auto industry relationships. Other possibilities include Sirius XM’s CFO David Frear, or bringing in an outside candidate.

In more Sirius XM news, the satcaster has extended its agreement with Hyundai Motor America for three years, including a provision for further extension through August of 2017. All Hyundai customers will receive a 3-month SiriusXM subscription with the purchase of any new Hyundai vehicle with a factory-equipped satellite radio.
