Coupled with great sports news from
ESPN, the SIRIUS sports offering is
unrivaled. And don’t forget a host of
other great news and entertainment,
like NPR, CNBC, CBC, Radio Disney

SIRIUS Canada's lineup includes 10
Canadian channels featuring some of
the best of CBC Radio One
programming and cutting edge
Canadian indie music.
With SIRIUS, the emphasis is on the
music and entertainment you want.
The music is hosted by SIRIUS
Jockeys, who are true experts. They
back-up the music with compelling
information about the song being
played, and they understand that
sometimes it’s best to just let the
music speak for itself.
Rely on SIRIUS rocket science for
superior coverage.
Only SIRIUS has three powerful
satellites that fly directly over North
America ensuring coast-to-coast-tocoast coverage with high elevation
angles. This gives the satellites a
“clear line of sight” to your car or
home, with much less concern for
buildings, trees or other objects that
might block conventional satellite
signals.
Once you experience our 110
channels of digital entertainment,
you’ll never want to leave your home.
