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

[![Sirius XM gives Google TV a Stern look, plans radio app for this summer][1] ][2]Sirius XM has long had a love affair with Android, going so far as to build an [Android-powered satellite radio][3] just a few months ago. That flame is burning for at least a little while longer with plans for a [Google TV][4] app launching this summer. Much in line with [Sirius XM's][5] more recent internet options, subscribers can soon 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 when we get a full reveal of the Google TV app in sync with the [start of Google I/O][6].
