Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segments and Geographic Information Segments and Geographic Information
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, we disaggregate our operations into two reportable segments: Sirius XM and Pandora and Off-platform. The financial results of these segments are utilized by the chief operating decision maker, who is our Chief Executive Officer, for evaluating segment performance and allocating resources. We report our segment information based on the "management" approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of our reportable segments. For additional information on our segments refer to Note 1.
Segment results include the revenues and cost of services which are directly attributable to each segment. There are no indirect revenues or costs incurred that are allocated to the segments. There are planned intersegment advertising campaigns which will be eliminated. We had $1 and $2 of intersegment advertising revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Segment revenue and gross profit were as follows during the periods presented:

The segment gross profit above is regularly provided to chief operating decision maker to assess which segment is more profitable as well as to identify opportunities and risks to profitability within the segments to determine resource allocations accordingly.
A measure of segment assets is not currently provided to the chief operating decision maker and has therefore not been provided.
As of March 31, 2025, long-lived assets were predominantly located in the United States. No individual foreign country represented a material portion of our consolidated revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
