nels, so called streams, of digital-quality
radio, among others music, sports, news,

power satellites to broadcast 24 hours per
day, coast-to-coast, in the contiguous US.
This diverse, satellite-delivered program-
ming is available for a monthly subscrip-
tion fee.

ity, call the Sirius Service Center
