"BBC Radio 1 has been dropped from Sirius XM in the US after six years on the subscription satellite radio platform, but the corporation is in talks to bring the station back to US listeners.  The music station launched in America for the first time in August 2005, after the BBC agreed a carriage deal with Sirius Satellite Radio. Previously, Radio 1 was only available to US listeners over the web.  The Sirius XM website reveals that Radio 1 is no longer available on the service, but gives no indication as to why the station was dropped. Sirius XM was not available for comment at the time of publication. A spokeswoman for BBC Worldwide confirmed to Digital Spy that Radio 1 has left Sirius XM, but said that the corporation is in talks with the satellite radio platform to continue offering the station in the US. &amp;quot;The BBC&amp;#039;s commercial arm BBC Worldwide has been in partnership with Sirius Satellite Radio to broadcast Radio 1 on their main network since 2005,&amp;quot; she said.  &amp;quot;This agreement has now unfortunately come to an end and BBC Worldwide are in current discussions with the satellite radio station to find ways to continue to bring popular music channel BBC Radio 1 to the US audience. We will keep you posted.&amp;quot;  In January, Sirius XM agreed an exclusive, multi-year deal with Manchester United to broadcast live radio coverage of the club&amp;#039;s matches in the US.
