Despite the absence of such popular Sirius XM content including The Howard Stern Show and play-by-play coverage of the National Football League and Major League Baseball, the satellite radio service provider's new iPhone application topped the 1 million download benchmark within two weeks of its June 18 release. According to Sirius XM, the free app offers more than 120 channels of talk, sports, entertainment and commercial-free music, including exclusive, web-only channels like SIRIUS XM Bootlegs, SIRIUS XM Talk Showcase, SIRIUS XM Music Showcase and SIRIUS XM Comedy Showcase.
