Sirius Satellite Radio Reaches 400,000 Subscribers
May 12, 2004 -- New York -- Sirius said it has reached the 400,000 subscriber mark for its nationwide service of over 60-commercial-free music channels and more than 50 channels of news, traffic, weather, sports, information and entertainment.

Sirius currently has a number of products available at mobile electronics retail stores across the country, including portable "Plug & Play" products, boomboxes, in-dash units, dedicated home units, as well as products for commercial applications. The Kenwood Here2Anywhere, two versions of the S.R.S. Satellite Radio Shuttle from Audiovox, a unit from JVC that resembles a PDA device, a small unit from Clarion, plus the Streamer, which is being marketed to truckers, are all contributing to an increase in market share at retail for Sirius. A home unit from Kenwood is also available at stores, as well as a boombox from Audiovox. PanaPacific also offers a boombox from Brix that works with the Streamer.

The portable "Plug & Play" products adapt to existing audio systems and can be easily installed by either the retailer, or the purchaser.

Sirius continues to be the leading brand provider of satellite radios from Audiovox, Clarion, Jensen, JVC and Kenwood, with new products from Alpine, Blaupunkt, Sanyo, Delphi, Crestron, Eclipse, Niles and U.S. Electronics expected later this year.

Currently, Sirius ready products can be found at Best Buy, Circuit City, Tweeter, Ultimate, the Good Guys, Sears, Crutchfield and other mobile audio outlets, with availability at Wal-Mart, EchoStar's DISH Network sales locations and RadioShack stores later this summer.
