Sirius launches portable satellite radio
September 27th, 2006, 12:08 UTC by Andy
Sirius Satellite Radio has introduced its first pocket-sized portable radio that allows subscribers to listen to live broadcasts and to digital music from their personal collections. Sirius’ Stiletto 100, which will compete with a similar portable line from rival XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc., will sell for about $350, Sirius said. It also has a short-range wireless Internet link that connects to Web radio, Sirius said. Sirius said its Internet radio services provide subscribers with access to all of Sirius’ 64 commercial free music channels, plus shock jock Howard Stern’s channels and others.
XM leads Sirius in the young market for nationwide pay-radio, but Sirius’s growth has been strong in the past year, powered in part by the launch of programming from shock jock Howard Stern. At the same time, XM has been stung by federal probes and concerns about its subscriber growth.
