Sirius XM buys stake in Pandora

NEW YORK

Pandora is raising cash to help it take on Spotify and other streaming music services.

The online music service is selling a 19 percent stake in its business to satellite radio company Sirius XM for $480 million. Pandora will pay a $22.5 million breakup fee to private equity firm KKR for breaking up a previously agreed $150 million deal.

Pandora, which is based in Oakland, Calif., will raise another $200 million selling its Ticketfly ticket service to Eventbrite – a service Pandora bought for $450 million in 2015.

Pandora works as an internet radio, and most users listen for free. But its financial losses have deepened in the past few years while its user base has been stagnant, and in March it launched a subscription service that copied the strategy of competitors such as Spotify and Apple Music. Like those apps, it can now charge users and then let them pick the songs they want to listen to.

Honda to roll out all-new Accord with no V6 option

DETROIT

Honda said Friday that its Accord midsize car will be offered only with four-cylinder or gas-electric hybrid engines when an all-new version comes out later this year.

The company said the smaller engines are sufficient for what its customers want. Only 14 percent of buyers in 2016 bought V-6 Accords.

Honda’s move away from the V6 is part of a trend toward replacing larger engines with turbocharged smaller ones that can nearly match V6 power. Chevrolet, Hyundai and others already have eliminated V-6 options in their midsize cars.
