What is Sirius Satellite Radio?Music. The way it was meant to be heard.Completely commercial-free.You’re riding in your car. Your crank up your fa-vorite music station. You never hear a commercial.Not one. Nice fantasy? No fantasy. It’s SiriusSatellite Radio. 60 original music channels, allcommercial-free – not just some of them – all ofthem. Guaranteed. So it’s just you, the road andthe music.

100 channels of the best in-car entertainmentOnly Sirius has 60 original music channels, fromtoday’s hits to R&B oldies to classical masterpieces.From authentic country and real bluegrass to cooljazz, hot latin, reggae, rock, and many more. Plus40 channels of world-class sports, news and enter-tainment, like ESPN, The Speed Channel, CNBC, FoxNews, Radio Disney and E! Entertainment Radio.

With Sirius, the emphasis is on the music and en-tertainment you want. Our music is hosted byMaster Music Programmers and on-air personali-ties who are true experts. They back up the musicwith compelling information about the song beingplayed, and they understand that sometimes it’sbest to just let the music speak for itself.

Rely on Sirius rocket science for superior cover-ageOnly Sirius has three powerful satellites that fly infigure-eight orbits to ensure coast-to-coast cover-age. These orbits allow Sirius satellites to broad-cast at high angles for a “clear line of sight” and adirect signal to your car.

Count on S>PLEX technology for superior soundresolution Sirius employs S>PLEX technology (statistical mul-tiplexing), which optimizes the fidelity on eachchannel to give you superior digital sound. So rockreally soars, jazz really jams and country reallysings.

Once you experience 100 channels of digital enter-tainment, you’ll never want to leave your car. Formore information, visit sirius.com.
