The Satellite Radio Revolution Is Here

 

Howard Stern has done it and so has Jay-Z. What did they do? They switched to satellite radio as the only way to listen to what they want, when they want.

You can switch too. If you are like most people, you have certain music or information channels that you prefer over another. Well imagine getting to choose from over a hundred different music and information channels.

If you feel like listening to comedy just turn it over. Perhaps your children are in the car and they want to listen to Radio Disney. That is no problem for a satellite radio. Just turn the channel and let the latest kids music fill the car.

It is the new revolution in radio and you can be a part of it!

The Benefits of Satellite Radio 

Sirius Satellite Inc., based out of New York City, was named the #1 "Fastest Growing Company in 2007" by Deloitte Technology Fast 500 ranking. Many people are wondering what this satellite radio craze is all about and why anyone would pay for something they already get for free.

First and foremost, satellite radio provides you with a high-quality digital signal that can transcend geographic borders by beaming down from three geosynchronous communications satellites orbiting around the Earth. Many channels feature CD-quality sound which is static-free.

Secondly, instead of picking the lesser of the evils from four or five local stations, subscribers have the option of choosing from over 200 specialized channels! What are you in the mood for? Choose from Early, Late or Deep Classic Rock. Do you want mellow rock, Jam Bands and Lite Rock -- or Punk, Heavy Metal and 80s Hair Bands? You can listen to Court TV radio, Martha Stewart radio, Howard Stern, ESPN radio, Nascar Radio, International News broadcasts, Fox News or Liberal News, Traffic and Weather stations, Comedy, Playboy Adult radio, Latino radio, or 24/7 Bruce Springsteen. There are five Country music stations, ranging from Bluegrass to Today's Hits, and six Hip Hop stations ranging from Old Skool Rap to R&B Hits. There are mix stations and stations for each decade from the 1950s through today. Satellite radio gives you a huge range of options that span cross-country!

The third benefit, which could be more important to a lot of people, is that there are NO commercials! It may be hard to believe that 100% commercial-free radio exists, but for just $13/month, you can evade the constant interruptions that plague your morning and late afternoon commutes. Satellite radio is the obvious choice for truckers, delivery drivers and long road trips.

Over 12 million people now subscribe to satellite radio. Even though you'll need to pay $13/month for the service and purchase some basic equipment to get started (like a plug & play device for your car, an iPod-like portable device, or a home stereo receiver -- if you don't have satellite TV), the numerous benefits and pandering to your every need will generally make satellite radio worthwhile.

I wish I'd had this book a few months ago when I was researching satellite radio equipment, but it's just as useful for troubleshooting and station quick-reference. Great info!
