Explained simply
SiriusXM is a US audio company best known for satellite radio, alongside music, talk and sports services delivered through subscriptions, apps and connected cars. It also earns money from advertising, so it competes for both listeners and advertisers across traditional radio and digital platforms.
Jennifer Witz has spent much of her career at SiriusXM and has led the company as chief executive since 2021. Anjali Sud has run Tubi, a free, advertising-supported streaming service owned by Fox, and joined SiriusXM’s board in 2025.
The leadership change matters as listeners increasingly use internet services to choose what they hear and watch. Sud’s experience with digital audiences may be relevant to SiriusXM’s efforts to grow its subscriptions and advertising, while the company’s established audio business remains central.
