Sirius Satellite Radio is a service offering over 130 channels of satellite radio featuring digital-quality music, sports, news and entertainment programming when and where you want it. They use a fleet of satellites to broadcast over 135 channels of satellite radio to listeners throughout the continental US and Canada.
Sirius Satellite Radio was previously known as Satellite CD Radio Inc.. The company changed its name to Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. on November 18, 1999. The name is derived from Sirius, sometimes referred to as the Dog Star, the brightest star in the night-time sky. The dog in the Sirius logo is unofficially named "Mongo", a name garnered from the debut of Sirius Satellite Radio’s sponsorship on Casey Atwood’s and later Jimmy Spencer’s NASCAR entry, when the announcing cast voted on names. "Mongo" later became NASCAR driver Spencer’s nickname with the NASCAR Broadcasters (mainly Darrell Waltrip) in the following races.
Sirius Satellite Radio is one of two satellite radio services operating in the United States and Canada, along with XM Satellite Radio. Headquartered in New York City, with smaller studios in Los Angeles and Memphis, Sirius was officially launched on July 1, 2002 and currently provides 69 streams (channels) of music and 65 streams of sports, news and entertainment to listeners. Music streams on Sirius carry a wide variety of genres, broadcasting 24 hours daily, commercial-free. A few of Sirius music channels is included as part of the Dish Network satellite television service. Both Sirius Satellite Radio and Xm Satellite Radio Merged on Feb 10 2007
They also have loads of original programming. They host hundreds of exclusive live interviews and performances you won't hear anywhere else and produce many interesting and engaging live talk shows in their national broadcast studios.
Some of the talk show host on Sirius Satellite Radio are Martha Stewart, Howard Stern, Tony Stewart,Jamie Foxx and many more.
To me this is Entertainment on demand you get to listen to whatever you want when you want and it is quality radio that is getting more popular by the day.
With most Sirius Satellite Radio enabled radios, the user can see the artist and song information on display while listening to the stream. The streams are broadcast from satellites in an elliptical geosynchronous orbit above North America.
Subscription costs for Sirius range from US$12.99 monthly (US$6.99 for multi-receivers) to US$499.99 for lifetime subscription. There is a US$15 activation fee for every radio activated.
The biggest difference is that Sirius Satellite Radio has 100% commercial-free music channels. What this means for you is that they offer you music the way it should be and the way the artist intended it: without a single commercial interruption.
Sirius Satellite Radio programming also has a breadth and depth of programming basically unavailable on regular radio. they play the songs that you know and love, and many songs that they know you'll love when you hear them for the first time.
Sirius Satellite Radio also has partnered with names you trust like the NFL, NASCAR, NBA, FOX News, CNBC, NPR and ESPN to bring you the best entertainment available.
On October 16, 2006 Sirius Satellite Radio announced that it would be launching Sirius Internet Radio with 78 of its 135 channels being available worldwide on the internet to any of its subscribers with a valid user name and password.
Sirius Satellite Radio will launch its backseat television service exclusively in several DaimlerChrysler cars and minivans later this year three live child-themed TV channels would be available in 2008 model year cars in the Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge lines. Sales of those cars will start later this year.
Sirius Satellite Radio has been promising such a service since 2004, but at that time it said deals with manufacturers and content providers needed to be hammered out. Last November, Chief Executive Mel Karmazin said the service would launch in 2007.
The system will cost about $470, which includes the first year of service, when packaged with Chrysler's rear-seat entertainment system in new cars. Customers must subscribe to Sirius Satellite Radio.
After that first year, TV service will be $7 a month in addition to the $13 a month for Sirius satellite radio.
Channels on the service include Viacom's Nickelodeon, Walt Disney's Disney Channel and Time Warner's Cartoon Network.
Whan asked about some of the evening shows broadcast on Cartoon Network that are aimed at adults, a Sirius Satellite Radio spokesman said the 24-hour programming in the car will always be suitable for children.
He added that the service could be available in other carmakers' vehicles beyond the 2008 model year.
The TV channels represent one of the last major programming thrusts by Sirius Satellite Radio, now that it has signed all the celebrity hosts, car agreements and high-level investments it needs to keep the accelerator on subscriber growth, Karmazin told Reuters in November.
Sirius Satellite Radio delivers the best 100% commercial-free music in virtually every genre. You will love it and now that Sirius and Xm are basicly one things will get even better.
