Iowa State Daily (Iowa State U.)

(U-WIRE) AMES, Iowa -- Have you ever wondered if most FM radio stations' archives of music contained nothing more than a couple of "NOW" CDs? How about the wacky notion that other music exists in the universe besides Pink's "Don't Let Me Get Me"?

AutoWeek.com

By DAVID SEDGWICK AND GAIL KACHADOURIAN Automotive News

DETROIT -- General Motors is making a major push this fall to whet drivers' appetites for what could become the next big thing in automotive entertainment: satellite radio. SATELLITE SIGNALS What it is: Two companies each beam 100 channels of radio programming to listeners via orbiting satellites. Vehicles equipped with special receivers pick up the signal. How it was created: In 1997, the FCC auctioned off a portion of the radio spectrum. The players: XM Satellite Radio Inc. and Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. Ticker symbols: XMSR, SIRI Automotive investors: XM - General Motors, Honda; Sirius - DaimlerChrysler What's offered: Numerous music formats, plus news, comedy and talk. The difference: XM ($9.99 per month) is cheaper but broadcasts some ads. Sirius ($12.95 per month) is ad-free.
