nothing else in the radio world that can compete with its digital
quality sound. Satellite can provide uninterrupted listening pleasure
anywhere in the world.
The only problem is deciding upon which satellite radio provider to

million listeners. XM has had the time to establish an excellent system
of 68 commercial-free music channels with an incredible array of music.
It also adds 33 channels of news, sports, talk shows, and entertainment
to its programming mix. To top it off, XM has revolutionized the
satellite radio world by providing 21 channels of up-to-date weather

its own. New contacts with DISH Network satellite television have given
