I couldn't quickly find XM Radio or Sirius Radio frequency allocations. But the original satellite radio system, WorldSpace, transmits 50 channels of 128 Kb/s audio in the 1,467 to 1,492 MHz segment of the L-Band. So, 50 * 128 is 6.4 Mb/s total 6.4 / 25 is 0.256 b/s/Hz. I'm pretty sure terrestrial digital radio could get by with more like 1 b/s/Hz.
