  1. What is XM Radio? What is SIRIUS XM Radio? Sirius XM Radio is broadcasting over 170 digital channels of music, news, sports and talk direct to cars, homes and portable units via satellite and our extensive repeater network. • The channels originate from SXM's broadcast centers, the world's largest all-digital studio complexes in Washington, DC and New York, NY and are uplinked to our satellites. The satellites transmit the signal across the entire continental United States. Each satellite provides 18kw of total power, making them the most powerful commercial satellites ever built, providing coast-to-coast coverage. • In July 2008, The Sirius and XM Satellite Radio companies officially merged. The combined company currently (ending Q1 2010) has over 19 million subscribers. Sirius XM Radio offers consumers the best of both services, while maximizing significant efficiencies. During 2010, Sirius and XM will be combining many of their business functions, moving closer to operation as a single company, servicing both XM and Sirius customers simultaneously. • Sirius XM Satellite Radio is changing the way people listen to radio in the same way cable changed television.
