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.
