Sorry, while I was here I thought I’d also comment on the slight changes Sirius has made to its online radio interface too.

So we finally turned in our first generation Sirius satellite radio (which was big and bulky and never really had a good fit in our car) to get a free Stratus 4 from Sirius (free because they nearly always have an offer to get a free radio). The old maxim, You get what you pay […]

This bad news for Sirius is also bad news for RadioShack Corp. According to DowJones, BMO Capital Markets believes […]
Sirius Satellite Radio boss Mel Karmazin raked in $3.45 million in compensation last year - but so far this year stockholders have fared less well.
The company’s stock has dropped nearly 25 percent this year, following the launch of shock jock Howard Stern’s show on Sirius.
According to a filing yesterday with the Securities and Exchange Commission, […]
