NEW YORK – October 16, 2006 – SIRIUS Satellite Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI) today announced the launch of SIRIUS Internet Radio (SIR), a CD-quality, Internet-only version of its rapidly growing satellite radio service. SIR delivers more than 75 channels of SIRIUS programming, without the use of a radio, for the monthly subscription fee of $12.95. To mark the availability of SIR, listeners on SIRIUS.com will be able to hear The Howard Stern Show and Stern’s two 24/7 channels for free on Oct. 25 and 26th, as well as enjoy SIRIUS’ channels of 100% commercial-free music, talk, entertainment, and sports.

For those two days, Stern will deliver his daily uncensored four hour-plus show, the show he was meant to do after 20 years on terrestrial radio. Listeners can go to www.sirius.com/howard now to register for a free trial of SIRIUS, then tune in beginning October 25 to listen to Stern. Information about the free trial is also available at www.howardstern.com.

Scott Greenstein, SIRIUS President, Entertainment and Sports, said, “Howard being available live for the first time ever to a worldwide audience is an unprecedented event in the history of radio. Listeners can now get what they have been missing: Howard at the top of his game and more than 75 channels of The Best Radio on Radio. It’s now The Best Radio on the Internet.”

SIR is perfect for those who want the variety of programming SIRIUS is known for but without the radio. Whether at home or the office, SIR is accessible anywhere you have an Internet connection. Subscribers to the Internet-only service will be able to hear all of SIRIUS’ 100% commercial-free music channels in CD-quality audio and select sports, entertainment, and talk channels, including The Howard Stern Show, Howard 100 and Howard 101.

“Listening to SIRIUS is now more convenient than ever, and there is no other Internet radio service that provides its listeners with our exclusive mix of commercial-free music and dynamic talk, entertainment, and sports programming,” said SIRIUS’ Greenstein.

Wow! This is really interesting. I think that this is going to give a lot of good promotion for them. I mean if you think about it, Howard Stern really is quite popular. Thanks for sharing this article with us.

I can see how seeing or hearing that ad over and over would get very annoying. I don't really like Howard Stern but I know a lot of people do that's why I think that it'll be good promotion.

I have been a Sirius subscriber for several years and have yet to listen to this guy. And I plan to continue. I liked Sirius just fine before he moved there and I still do.

JUst my 2 cents.

I agree 100%! Left of Center & First Wave are well worth the subscription price! And, of course, Jimmy Buffett's live shows!

I have heard Stern many times when he was on over the air radio. I found it to be useless. Just my opinion I know many like him though.
