NEW YORK (Reuters) -- XM Satellite Radio Holdings said Tuesday afternoon that its nationwide system has returned to normal strength, after a software glitch diminished or knocked out service for some customers for about one day.
XM (down $0.10 to $11.04, Charts), the larger pay radio competitor to Sirius (Charts), said the problem started during the loading of software to the satellite broadcast system, which resulted in a temporary loss of signal from one of the company's satellites.
In early afternoon on Tuesday, the company in a statement said that "normal levels of service have resumed."
The company, which has agreed to be acquired by rival Sirius Satellite Radio, has more than 8 million subscribers who pay about $13 a month for dozens of sports, news, music and talk channels, may of them commercial-free.
