    Sirius Announces Online Music Offerings
    September 21, 2004 -- New York – Sirius said its subscribers can now listen to its 65 channels of commercial-free music and other select Sirius channels on any PC or Mac at no additional cost.

    Consumers considering satellite radio can sample Sirius free online for three consecutive days by visiting www.sirius.com.

    “Sirius is proud to be the only satellite radio company to make its award-winning lineup of commercial-free music channels available online at no additional charge to our subscribers,” said Joseph P. Clayton, chief executive officer, Sirius.

    As part of the broadcast and online experience from Sirius, subscribers are accustomed to being up close and personal with their favorite artists, and were recently treated to live broadcasts of Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival, Velvet Revolver's "Live & Loaded" concert, the JVC Newport Jazz Festival and many more. Recently, multi-platinum, GRAMMY-winning hip-hop artist Nelly introduced his two new albums, Sweat and Suit exclusively to subscribers during a guest DJ appearance.

    Just this year, Sirius launched Sirius NFL Radio, the first 24/7 radio channel devoted to the NFL. Sirius also announced a partnership with multi-platinum recording artist Eminem, Shady Records and Interscope Records to create a cutting-edge hip-hop music and lifestyle channel exclusively for Sirius.

    Recently the company has added a number of critically-acclaimed music channels, such as Elvis Radio and Faction, which features an innovative mix of hard rock, punk and hip-hop, hosted by champion skateboarder Tony Hawk, top-ranked surfer Kelly Slater and other acclaimed action sports athletes. Sirius also features Underground Garage, the one-of-a-kind channel programmed by Steven Van Zandt. All of this is included in every Sirius subscription.
