Sirius launches portable satellite radio
Credit: www.blogs.rnw.nl/medianetwork 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. (Source: Reuters) Related story: Sirius launches subscription-based Internet radio service |

American values at risk as FCC rules less news is good news
Credit: By Email From John Davidson The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) allegedly ordered its staff to destroy all copies of a draft study that suggested greater concentration of media ownership would harm local TV news coverage, a former lawyer at the agency says. The report, written in 2004, surfaced during the Senate confirmation hearing for FCC Chairman Kevin Martin. Senator Barbara Boxer (Democrat-California) received a copy of the report indirectly from a disgruntled worker within the FCC. When considering whether to loosen rules on media ownership, the agency is currently required to examine the impact on localism, competition and diversity; the FCC generally defines localism as the level of responsiveness a station shows towards the needs of its community. Co-author of the leaked report Peter Alexander still works at the FCC. At the web page www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/politics/4187090.html the Houston Chronicle carries a story by John Dunbar of the Associated Press. |
