Sirius Satellite Radio ,
the satellite radio broadcaster, today announced that Sirius-3, the final
satellite in the company’s three-satellite constellation, is scheduled to
launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on November 30 at 2:59 p.m.
EST.
Sirius-1 was launched into orbit on June 30, and Sirius-2 was launched
on September 5.

From its three orbiting satellites, Sirius (http://www.siriusradio.com)
will directly broadcast up to 100 channels of digital-quality radio to
motorists throughout the continental United States for a monthly subscription
fee of $9.95.
Sirius will deliver 50 channels of commercial-free music in
virtually every genre, and up to 50 channels of news, sports, talk, comedy and
children’s programming.
Sirius’ broad and deep range of almost every music
format as well as its news, sports and entertainment programming is not
available on conventional radio in any market in the United States.

Sirius has alliances to install three-band (AM/FM/SAT) radios in Ford,
Chrysler, BMW, Mercedes, Mazda, Jaguar and Volvo vehicles as well as
Freightliner and Sterling heavy trucks.
Numerous manufacturers will furnish
radios to automakers, and will also provide adapters to electronics retailers
that will allow radios in existing vehicles to receive Sirius broadcasts.

additional financing.
