What is XM Satellite Radio?

XM Radio is broadcastiog over 120 digital channels of totally new music, news, sports and children's
programming direct to vehicle and homes via satellite and our extensive repeater network, which supplements the
satellite signal to ensure seamless transmission. The channels originate from XM's broadcast center, the world's
largest all-digital studio complex in Washington, DC, and uplink to our two (Boeing 702) satellites, These
satellites transmit the signal across the entire continental United States. Each satellite provides 18kw of total
power making them the two most powerful commercial satellites ever built, providing coast-to-coast coverage.
XM Satellite Radio is changing the way people listen to radio in the same way cable changed television.
