It also offers live, curated, and exclusive programming services through satellite radio systems and streamed applications for mobile and home devices. Additionally, the company distributes satellite radios through automakers and retailers, sells radios and accessories, and provides location-based services through two-way wireless connectivity.
The Pandora and Off-platform segment operates a highly personalized audio entertainment platform, offering customized stations, playlists, and on-demand search and playback of songs and albums.
