SiriusXM will have to change its cancellation procedures in New York as a result of the court's decision, ensuring a simple subscription cancellation method for its customers. Customers are also no longer required to speak or chat with a live agent in order to cancel their subscription.

SiriusXM will make canceling subscriptions in New York easier after a judge ruled it broke the law by not providing "simple mechanisms" for quitting.

The satellite radio provider made it too difficult for customers to cancel their subscriptions, a New York supreme court justice ruled last week.

Even without the FTC’s new click-to-cancel policy, the New York AG just won a lawsuit over a process that ‘deliberately’ wastes subscribers’ time.

Sirius required subscribers to speak at length with live agents trained to dissuade cancellations, and listen to as many as five offers of other services before being allowed to cancel.

The policies of SiriusXM Radio violated the law by forcing customers to get sales pitches from customer-service representatives when trying to cancel.
