Sirius XM gives Google TV a Stern look, plans radio app for this summer

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/06/sirius-xm-android-mascot.jpgSirius XM has long had a love affair with Android, going so far as to build an Android-powered satellite radio just a few months ago. The flame hasn’t died yet, as the company just set out plans for a Google TV app launching this summer. Much in line with Sirius XM’s more recent internet options, subscribers will tune into virtually anything from the satellite radio lineup, including the obligatory Howard Stern, as well as online-only bonuses like ESPN SportsCenter. The radio provider tells Reuters that it worked “closely” with Google to build the app, but what secret sauce that adds (if any) is left to the imagination: the live pausing and five-hour content storage don’t exactly break the mold of what we’ve seen so far. We’ll find out very soon just how category-busting Sirius XM can get, since a full reveal of the Google TV app is coming in sync with the start of Google I/O.
