Radios von Sirius Satellite ab 2004 in Ford-Modellen erhältlich

Der amerikanische Satellitenradio-Betreiber Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. teilte am Freitag mit, dass die Satellitenradio-Anlagen des Unternehmens in zehn Fahrzeug-Modellen des amerikanischen Automobilherstellers Ford Motore Corp erhältlich sein werden.

Kunden können sich ab dem Jahr 2004 für einen Aufpreis von 329 Dollar ein Satelliten-Radio einbauen lassen, hieß es. Bei den betreffenden Fahrzeugen handelt es sich um die Ford-Modelle Thunderbird, Mustang, Explorer, Sport Trac und Expedition, Lincoln Navigator, Aviator und den Mercury Mountaineer.

Die Radioanlage ist Konzernangaben zufolge in der Lage, sämtliche Details bezüglich des Künstlers, des Musiktitels und der Stilrichtung anzugeben.

Die Aktie von Sirius Satellites kann im vorbörslichen Handel an der NASDAQ um 11,4 Prozent auf 2,05 Dollar zulegen.

[Körschgen]

Nicht spektakulär? 10% im Monat?

SIRI ist eine der volatilsten und spekulativsten Aktien, die je an der NASDAQ gehandelt wurden. Dagegen sind Rambus und Transkaryotic Therapies regelrechte Bluechips. Außerdem verfügt SIRI über eine katastrophale Finanzlage.
Allerdings heißt das nicht, dass sie nicht steigen wird.

[ustrading]

die Finanzlage ist bei SIRI durch der Rekapitalisierung jedenfalls besser bei Konkurrent XMSR da.

Endlich mal wieder ein neues Forum zu meiner Lieblingsaktie ... wollte schon selbst einen Thread eröffnen, aber dann dachte ich mir ... geniesse den Wert im Stillen ... in den USA ist Siri übrigens die wohl am meisten diskutierte Aktie überhaupt, teilweise bis zu 10 Beiträge in der Minute(!!!!) in ähnlichen Foren wie hier ... echt crazy, diese Amis ... bin mal gespannt, wohin diesmal der Weg der Aktie führt ... hatte den Wert schon vor 4 Jahren, als er noch unter dem Namen CD Radio geführt wurde ...

Sirius Satellite, XM Radio

Customized, programmable, commercial-free radio has
been gaining popularity and is available for after-market
installation. The system allows you to listen to what
you want, when you want, without having to wade through
much radio gibberish. Edmunds.com recommends Sirius
Satellite (SIRI: news, chart, profile) as the better
of the two services at this point.

Price range: $325-$700 for equipment and installation
plus a $10 monthly subscription fee.

Klingt doch gar nicht schlecht, zumal Sirius in diesem
Zusammenhang als besserer Anbieter als XM Radio angesehen
wird ... also, ihr Amis, kauft Ford-Autos und laßt euch
das Equipment von Sirius einbauen

Pana-Pacific and SIRIUS Introduce New Streamer Portable Satellite Radio for Truckers
Thursday September 25, 8:45 am ET
Plug and Play Receiver Can Also be Used in Cars, Boats and Homes


DALLAS, and NEW YORK, Sept. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pana-Pacific, a division of The Brix Group, and SIRIUS (Nasdaq: SIRI - News), known for delivering the very best in commercial-free music and premium audio entertainment to cars and homes across the country, today announced they will introduce STREAMER by Brix, the newest, most advanced portable SIRIUS Satellite Radio system, at this year`s Great American Trucking Show, September 26-28 at The Dallas Convention Center.

STREAMER is the only satellite radio system that was designed, from start to finish, to provide a complete solution for the unique requirements of the commercial truck driver. SIRIUS provides 60 commercial-free music and more than 40 news, sports and entertainment streams of satellite radio coast-to-coast, static-free, and with digital quality. STREAMER connects with existing in-dash radios or home stereo amplifiers to pull in the SIRIUS signal from space.

"The combination of STREAMER and SIRIUS is unbeatable for the professional trucker," said John Trenberth, President of Pana-Pacific. "We are delighted to be partnering with SIRIUS to offer such an exciting product. I believe this product offers many solutions to the commercial vehicle market including the large display and easy to use features that result in greater safety in operation."

"STREAMER is an excellent example of two partners coming together creatively to design an outstanding product for a specialty market," said Thomas Steckbeck, Vice President, Direct and Special Market Sales, for SIRIUS. "We believe that STREAMER will define the satellite radio concept for professional truckers, and we are thrilled to be working with Pana-Pacific on its introduction."

Featuring the satellite radio industry`s largest display, STREAMER shows SIRIUS stream name, number, category, artist, song title and time simultaneously. Plus there`s no need for drivers to remove their gloves to operate this radio. STREAMER`S large knob and buttons make operation easy under all conditions. Other unique features include a satellite-updated alarm clock with sleep timer, auto shut down and Song Seek, which alerts users when favorite songs are playing on SIRIUS music streams.

STREAMER moves easily from the truck, home, car or boat with available adapter kits. Drivers will appreciate the Professional Vehicle Kit, featuring a quick release mount and wireless FM-transmitter for easy installation and removal without the need for dashboard surgery.

Beginning next month, Pana-Pacific and SIRIUS will be jointly promoting STREAMER and selling complete systems at introductory prices as low as $109 exclusively through participating OEM truck dealers and truck stops.

Pana-Pacific is based in Fresno, California and is a leading supplier to the OEM commercial and off-road vehicle market.



Es scheint immer mehr Firmen in der Auto-Industrie
(aber auch an anderer Stelle!) zu geben, die eine
Kooperation mit Sirius Satellite eingehen und deren
Produkte gegenüber der Konkurrenz bevorzugen

Sirius Scores With NHL Deal

By Rex Moore (TMF Orangeblood)
October 2, 2003
Sirius (Nasdaq: SIRI) has a new message: The puck stops here. Forty times a week.

The satellite radio operator has signed a deal with National Hockey League to air hundreds of games this season, including the playoffs and the Stanley Cup Finals. In addition, the company paid an undisclosed sum to become "The Official Satellite Radio Sponsor of the NHL." (Quite an honor, considering there`s only one other operator in existence: XM Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: XMSR).)

Why would a profitless company with approximately six quarters of cash left in its coffers shell out money for such a deal? Simple. It hopes the games -- which are included at no additional charge beyond the normal $12.96 monthly fee -- will attract more subscribers.

The Wall Street Journal likens the situation to DirecTV`s (NYSE: GMH) sports deals in its early days. Sirius CEO Joseph Clayton told the paper he considers the dynamics of satellite radio similar to early satellite television. "Our objective is to increase our sports variety with additional professional and collegiate leagues." Clayton is also hoping to renew a contract with the National Basketball Association.

Sirius is still far behind in the subscriber race -- it had 105,000 paying customers at the end of June, while XM reported 929,000 yesterday. And it`s still a risky play, being No. 2 in an industry that may see only one ultimate survivor. But as long as the company didn`t overpay for the rights, deals like the one today are small steps in the right direction.

Ein New-Yorker Geschäftsmann kauft von einem Farmer einen Esel für 100 Dollar. Der Farmer verspricht, das Tier am nächsten Tag abzuliefern. Am Morgen jedoch kommt er alleine und bedauert, der Esel sei leider gestorben.
`In dem Fall`, sagte der Business-Mann, `will ich mein Geld zurück.`
Der Farmer bedauert wieder, er habe das Geld schon am Vortag ausgegeben.
`Na gut`, sagte der New-Yorker, `dann will ich den toten Esel haben.`
`Was willst du mit dem Kadaver?` fragt ihn der Farmer.
`Den werde ich verlosen!`
`Aber du kannst doch keinen toten Esel verlosen!`
`Sicher kann ich das. Ich sag ganz einfach niemandem, dass er tot ist!`
Einen Monat später treffen sich die zwei wieder.
`Na, bist du den toten Esel losgeworden?` fragt der Farmer.
`Sicher! Ich habe 500 Lose zu je 2 Dollar verkauft und habe 900 Dollar Gewinn gemacht!`
`Und hat sich keiner beschwert?`
`Nur der, der gewonnen hat. Und dem hab ich seine 2 Dollar zurückgegeben.`


Also, such`s Dir aus, was Du da hast, entweder einen toten Esel oder ein Lotterielos.

Sun-Spot Worries Flare at Sirius

By Scott Moritz
Senior Writer
10/24/2003 03:20 PM EDT

Sirius (SIRI:Nasdaq - commentary - research) investors were sweating it out Friday.

The stock sold off in unusually heavy trading as investors worried that solar flares could damage the company`s satellites. The selloff came even as analysts and the company asserted that the fears are probably overblown.

Shares of the New York pay radio shop fell as much as 9% before recovering some ground in late-afternoon trading. The concerns centered on an oncoming wave of electromagnetic particles that was expected to hit Earth at midafternoon New York time.

Though these solar flares aren`t uncommon, a heavy bombardment of electromagnetic interference has the potential to short-circuit sensitive machinery. In a research note Friday, though, Bear Stearns analyst Bob Peck downplayed the risk of satellite damage.

"We have spoken with engineers, and while the flare is of relative size (ranked a 3 on a scale of 1-5), it should still be a nonevent to the existing satellites in orbit," wrote Peck, who has a neutral rating on the stock. According to Peck, satellites are designed to withstand a number of cosmic events such as solar flares.

A Sirius rep said that the company`s satellites have not been damaged by any previous solar flare incidents and that the "engineers have not expressed any concern" this time around.

With the concerns possibly overblown, Peck`s recommendation to clients is to buy the stock on any flare-related dips.

XM, Sirius Put On a Milestone Rally

By TSC Staff
10/27/2003 11:10 AM EST


Satellite radio stocks surged more than 5% Monday as one of this closely watched industry`s big competitors passed a key subscription milestone.

XM Satellite Radio (XMSR:Nasdaq - commentary - research) said Monday morning that it had chalked up its millionth subscriber. The company noted that it reached that level less than two years after its November 2001 launch.


The announcement underscores the high hopes investors have for the company and its chief rival, Sirius Satellite Radio (SIRI:Nasdaq - commentary - research). Shares of both companies have risen sharply this year as Wall Street has latched onto one of the few truly fast-growing niches of the struggling high-tech segment.

On Monday, XM surged 93 cents to $19.14, and Sirius added 14 cents to $2.52.

The companies have stirred investor interest with their rapidly expanding subscriber bases, but both outfits continue to post big losses and remain some distance from the black. Still, XM, based in Washington, and Sirius, based in New York, have signed up partnerships making their gear optional in the cars of all the major automakers, fueling the hope that their pay-radio subscription business is about to take off.

SIRIUS Satellite Radio to be Featured in New Dodge Durango

SIRIUS to be Available as Factory Installed Option on All New Durango SUVs

NEW YORK, Oct 29, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- SIRIUS (Nasdaq: SIRI), known for delivering the very best in commercial-free music and premium broadcast entertainment to cars and homes across the country, today announced that DaimlerChrysler`s all new 2004 Dodge Durango will feature SIRIUS Satellite Radio as a factory-installed option beginning in November.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19991118/NYTH125 )

"This is very exciting for SIRIUS, and reaffirms DaimlerChrysler`s commitment to installing our satellite radio systems in more of their vehicles," said Doug Wilsterman, Senior Vice President of OEM Automotive for SIRIUS. "We are very pleased to be part of what we believe will be the successful introduction of the new, redesigned Durango."

The new Dodge Durango is 7 inches longer, 3 inches taller and 3 inches wider that previous models. It is the largest SUV Dodge sells, but will be smaller and more fuel-efficient than the biggest SUVs on the market, according to DaimlerChrysler. It will, however, offer competitive cargo space.

All purchasers of the new Dodge Durango will be able to order SIRIUS as a factory-installed option for $325. Access to SIRIUS` 60 commercial-free music streams and more than 40 news, sports and entertainment streams costs $12.95 per month, with discounts for up-front payments of a year or more. SIRIUS also offers a lifetime subscription to its service for $399.

Sirius Satellite Q3 loss narrows
Revenue falls short of forecasts
By David B. Wilkerson, CBS.MarketWatch.com
Last Update: 4:42 PM ET Oct. 29, 2003


SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Shares of Sirius Satellite Radio rose 3.5 percent Wednesday after the company reported a third-quarter loss 11 percent smaller than that of the prior year, on a 12-fold increase in subscribers to its satellite-based radio service.


The loss was in line with most analyst estimates, though the company`s revenue total fell just short of forecasts.

New York-based Sirius (SIRI: news, chart, profile) stepped up 8 cents to close at $2.35 on heavy volume of 152 million shares.

The company said it lost $106.7 million, or 11 cents a share, compared to a loss of $119.7 million, or $1.56 a share, in the year-ago period. The figure in the latest period matched the average estimate of analysts polled by Thomson First Call.

Revenue jumped to $4.3 million from $17,000, but fell short of the $4.43 million consensus projection.

Sirius` service, launched in July 2002, offers 100 channels of digital-quality programming covering every major music format, as well as news, sports and talk, for $12.95 per month. Its 60 music channels run no commercials.

Sirius had 149,612 subscribers at the end of the September quarter, which represented a 42-percent increase from the end of the second quarter and was more than 12 times the number of subscribers the company had signed up at the end of 2002`s third quarter.

Sirius` share of the retail satellite radio market rose 48 percent over the second quarter, boosted by sales of the company`s plug-and-play products from electronics manufacturers Kenwood and Audiovox, the company said.

Some observers believe that satellite radio will truly take off as a commercial proposition once it becomes standard equipment in most vehicles. This kind of availability helped spur the advance of FM radio in the early 1970s. Sirius and rival XM Satellite Radio (XMSR: news, chart, profile) are betting that more listeners are becoming disenchanted with the repetitive playlists, high commercial spot loads and poor reception that critics have said characterize traditional radio.

David B. Wilkerson is a reporter for CBS.MarketWatch.com in San Francisco.

Sirius Satellite: 43 % mehr Abonnenten

Die Titel von Sirius Satellite Radio konnten sich nach Quartalszahlen heute verbessern. Das Unternehmen verringerte seinen Verlust auf 106,7 Millionen oder 11 Cents pro Aktie nach 119,7 Millionen im Vorjahreszeitraum. Die Umsätze kletterten von 17.000 auf 4,3 Millionen Dollar, was allerdings leicht unter den Konsensschätzungen lag.

Gut bekommen ist dem Anbieter von Radioprogrammen vor allem der Boom durch neue Autoradio-Modelle, die in der gehobenen Mittelklasse allmählich zum Standard werden könnten. Aber auch im klassischen Geschäft konnte gegenüber dem zweiten Quartal ein deutlicher Anstieg der Abonnentenzahlen um 42 Prozent auf 149612 verzeichnet werden. Sirius bietet ein Paket von 60 werbefreie Radiokanälen aller Sparten für 12,95 Dollar pro Monat an.

Sirius Satellite Radio liegen aktuell 3,08 Prozent im Plus bei 2,34 Dollar.

Sirius stock falls after downgrade, XM rises
Monday November 10, 3:57 pm ET


NEW YORK, Nov 10 (Reuters) - Shares of satellite radio company Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. (NasdaqNM:SIRI - News) fell 8 percent on Monday after SG Cowen downgraded the stock citing competitive moves by rival XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. (NasdaqNM:XMSR - News)
XM`s shares rose more than 3 percent after SG Cowen said in a research note on Monday it cut its Sirius rating to "market perform" from "outperform" after XM said it would sell a product that could work in cars wired for its rivals` service.

"This puts further short-term risk on Sirius ramping up their subscriber base," SG Cowen analyst Matthew Karnes said.

Sirius shares fell 19 cents to $2.19 in afternoon trade on Nasdaq where XM shares rose 71 cents to $23.20.

XM and Sirius both see drivers as a key target market in the nascent subscription-based satellite radio sector and they both set up exclusive partnerships with several automakers.

XM has relationships with General Motors Corp. (NYSE:GM - News) and Sirius has deals with DaimlerChrysler AG (XETRACXGn.DE - News), Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:F - News) and BMW (XETRA:BMWG.DE - News).

SG Cowen said in its research note it was concerned XM`s product would eventually allow dealers of DaimlerChrysler, Ford and BMW cars to install XM service on cars prepared in the factory to support Sirius service.

XM said last Thursday that a product that would allow customers to listen to its radio service in BMW cars would go on the market later this month. It has not specifically announced plans regarding other exclusive Sirius car brands.

"We will make any announcements regarding other automakers at the appropriate time," XM spokesman Chance Patterson said.

@ rattelu

Das Problem ist wohl, daß Sirius bisher erst knapp 150.000 Abonnenten hat und XM schon fast 1 Mio., der Monatsbeitrag bei XM beträgt 9,95$, während man bei Sirius 3 Dollar mehr bezahlen muß ... allerdings gibt es bei SIRI gegenüber XM KEINE(!!) Werbung ... inzwischen gibt es immer mehr Auto-Modelle, in die Sirius seine Technik einbauen kann (es gibt Verträge mit DaimlerChrysler, Ford, BMW, Nissan etc.) ...

Zunächst dürfte der Kurs jetzt um die 2,10$ pendeln, denn zu dem Kurs wird ja nun die Kapitalerhöhung durchgeführt ... wichtig werden dann die neuen Neukundenzahlen sein ...

Hallo Seinfeld,

Heute dürfte SIRI ja vielleicht erklären, ob sie ihre 73 Millionen neuen Aktien an den Mann gebracht haben, so hieß es zumindest in einer Pressemitteilung zu der durchgeführten Kapitalerhöhung ... ich hatte eigentlich erwartet und gehofft, daß die 2$-Marke halten würde ... stattdessen hab ich nun für 1,90$ nochmal nachgekauft, denn ich hoffe jetzt doch mal wieder auf eine positive Gegenreaktion ...

Reuters
Sirius shareholders question co.`s direction at meeting
Tuesday November 25, 1:34 pm ET


NEW YORK, Nov 25 (Reuters) - Sirius Satellite Radio (NasdaqNM:SIRI - News) shareholders put the company`s chief executive on the defensive on Tuesday questioning whether Sirius was moving fast enough to catch up to market leader XM Satellite Radio (NasdaqNM:XMSR - News).

At Sirius` annual meeting, stockholders griped about the lack of Sirius radios in stores for the critical holiday season and expressed frustration at the company`s share price, which is hovering around $2 after dipping below $1 twice this year.

CEO Joseph Clayton said Sirius is a generation behind XM Radio on its electronic devices, but argued the company has moved quickly to get devices in stores. He promised that Sirius` version of a "boom box," would be shipped in time for Christmas.

XM Radio is already extensively marketing its "boom box," an accessory that makes the receiver portable. Products of both companies are sold in stores like Radio Shack.

"Would we have liked to move faster, yes," Clayton said. "There will be plenty of goods to sell for the Christmas selling season."

Clayton predicted the company would reach 200,000 subscribers, down from an earlier target of 300,000, by the end of the year. XM Radio, which has a year`s head start, broke the 1 million subscriber mark this year.

XM, whose shares shares were trading up 58 cents, or about 2.5 percent, at $23.50 on the Nasdaq stock exchange, launched its service a year ahead of Sirius.

Jetzt sieht es doch schon gar nicht mehr so schlecht,
falls Du auch unter 2 Dollar nachgekauft haben solltest,
müßtest Du bei Kursen von 2,20$ (nachbörslich sogar noch
etwas höher - gerade 2,23$) schon wieder im Soll liegen ...

Auf weiter steigende Kurse, Gruß Seinfeld

[rattelu]

Hallo,
nein ich habe nichts nachgekauft, "leider", Habe mich wieder mal vom falschen Insiderwissen leiten lassen. Aber ab 2,29 $ gehts auch bei mir aufwärts. Ich bin jetzt fest davon überzeugt, daß wir im Februar die 3$ grenze überschreiten. 2007 werden 12 $ prognostiziert.

CBC/Radio-Canada and SIRIUS Announce Venture To Bring Satellite Radio to Canadians
Wednesday December 10, 3:06 pm ET
CBC/Radio-Canada and SIRIUS to File License Application with CRTC


OTTAWA and NEW YORK, Dec. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CBC/Radio-Canada, Canada`s national public broadcaster, and SIRIUS (Nasdaq: SIRI - News), known for delivering the very best in commercial-free music and premium broadcast entertainment to cars and homes throughout the continental United States, today announced that they will form a joint venture to bring satellite radio to Canada. CBC/Radio-Canada and SIRIUS also announced today that the venture will soon file an application with the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) for a license to provide satellite radio in Canada.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19991118/NYTH125 )
"CBC/Radio-Canada is excited about the opportunity to partner with SIRIUS to bring satellite radio to Canada," said Robert Rabinovitch, CBC/Radio- Canada`s President and CEO. "By expanding the choices available to Canadians, this new service will enable the national public broadcaster to better fulfill its mandate by extending its reach and enhancing its services to Canadians."

This new, subscription-based, national service will give Canadians access to a wide range of programming and Canadian content. CBC/Radio-Canada was able to secure the distribution of two of its main channels, namely Radio One and La Premiere Chaine. As a result of CBC/Radio-Canada`s involvement, the new venture will also provide significant opportunities for existing and emerging Canadian artists to showcase their talent and be heard not only across Canada, but throughout North America as well.

"Our agreement with CBC/Radio-Canada is an exceptional example of a time- honored brand joining with SIRIUS to bring an innovative national service to Canadians." said Joseph P. Clayton, President and CEO of SIRIUS. "60 of our 100 premier channels are commercial-free, and this makes SIRIUS an ideal match for Canada`s public broadcaster and its unparalleled Canadian programming content. Also, we have exclusive agreements with DaimlerChrysler, Ford and BMW car manufacturers, who sell nearly 40% of all vehicles sold in Canada, which adds to our reach as well."

The CBC/Radio-Canada and SIRIUS venture will ensure that Canadians have the greatest possible access to a wide array of commercial-free music, information and entertainment services, as well as their national public broadcaster. When licensed by the CRTC, this new subscription-based service will be available to Canadians across the entire country, from urban centers to even the most remote regions.

"Fueled by the digital revolution, radio services are changing dramatically," added Mr. Rabinovitch. "We are forging ahead to ensure that CBC/Radio-Canada has an expanded reach and presence for the benefit of Canadians. We are also encouraged to know that the CRTC wants to deal with the matter of satellite radio expeditiously."

SIRIUS and CBC/Radio-Canada are holding talks with, and may add, other Canadian financial or broadcasting investors to the venture.

SIRIUS Satellite Radio As Factory Option On New BMW 5 Series Sedans

12-24-03 10:18 AM EST

WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J. -(Dow Jones)- German auto maker BMW (BMW.XE) will offer Sirius Satellite Radio Inc.(NASDAQ-NMS:SIRI) (SIRI) systems as a factory option on its 2004 5 Series sedan starting this month in the U.S.

In addition, the company will begin to offer the Sirius product as a dealer- installed accessory in February.

In a press release Wednesday, BMW said the Sirius system can be installed for $595. BMW said it is the first "premium" auto maker to offer Sirius` satellite radio. Sirius has partnered with DaimlerChrysler AG(NYSECX) (DCX) and Ford Motor Co.(NYSE:F) (F) , among other companies.

Sirius` main competitor, XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc.(NASDAQ-NMS:XMSR) (XMSR), has not only partnered with big auto makers but also is part-owned by some of them. According to an article in February in Barron`s, General Motors Corp.(NYSE:GM) (GM) owns a 19% stake in Sirius, while Japanese powerhouse Honda Motor Co. (HMC) owns about 8%.

Sirius offers about 60 streams of programming, or channels, while XM Satellite offers 70 channels. Sirius has about 200,000 subscribers, far less than the 1 million reported by XM Satellite.

Satellite Radio Is On the Rise
XM, Sirius Report Improved Sales

By Amy Joyce
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, December 27, 2003; Page E01


This may be the holiday season that satellite radio began to show its promise.

The nation`s two major satellite radio providers reported brisk sales in recent weeks, helped by discounts in subscription rates and expanded product lines. Neither company is ready to release holiday sales figures, but Washington`s XM Satellite Radio Inc. expects to have 1.2 million subscribers by year`s end, compared with 347,000 subscribers a year ago. The money-losing company hopes to break even by the end of the coming year or the first half of 2005.

New York-based Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. had a strong holiday season, spokesman Ron Rodrigues said. But it was not too tough to do better than last year. Last holiday season was the first full operating quarter for the public company. Although Rodrigues said sales figures will not be released until early January, "we were all very busy fourth quarter. And if that`s any indication of sales, then sales were good."

The healthy season was welcome news for two companies that invested heavily in sending satellites aloft only to struggle initially to persuade people to pay for 24-hour radio broadcasts on about 100 channels as they would for cable or satellite television.

XM Radio executives said they made some headway this year by offering price breaks to subscribers who bought multiyear subscriptions. For example, the regular $9.99-a-month subscription rate falls to $8.29 a month when subscribers commit for two years, or $7.48 a month for a five-year package.

"The multiyear [subscription] was a very compelling thing," said Allen Goldberg, a company spokesman. He said buyers can get refunds if they cancel early.

The company signed up its 1 millionth subscriber in October. "We have had such strong sales over Christmas, we`ll have many people activating right after Christmas, so we`ve got all our customer service people on high alert," Goldberg said.

Electronics retailers said satellite radio was a big seller this year. "The popularity has grown this year," said Bill Cimino, a spokesman for the electronics retailer Circuit City Stores Inc. The store sells both XM and Sirius. "We did see it was one of the strong products that grew in November."

Typically, he said, customers had bought the radio service for themselves rather than as a gift, because the popular version has to be installed into a car, and because the service normally requires a monthly subscription fee. But now that there is a portable receiver, more customers bought it as a gift, and paid subscription fees running for a year or two, he said. The portable receiver can be moved from car to home to office, and costs about $150 to $200.

Since District-based XM was founded, the company has struggled to prove itself to Wall Street and to consumers.

It launched its service in September 2001, and teetered as it tried to find customers willing to pay $10 a month to listen to 100 basic radio channels, beamed from satellites. But soon, a wide variety of customers began to climb on the satellite radio bandwagon. A variety of channels target different musical tastes: heavy metal, show tunes, news, sports, bluegrass. The stations can be picked up from anywhere, freeing drivers from having to listen to repetitious AM/FM radio stations on long drives and commutes.

XM has raised enough money to remain afloat at least until the end 2004. Automakers this year started to offer XM service with their 2004 models, helping to boost stock. As the number of subscribers increase, so does the company`s hopes. Although XM does not expect to make a profit anytime soon, the company is "pretty much on target," Goldberg said.

Reichlich Meldungen heute zu unserer Sirius
... das Weihnachtsgeschäft war wohl sehr erfolgreich
und es wird in Aussicht gestellt, daß der Marktanteil
von SIRI in den nächsten Jahren von 15 auf 39% steigen
sollte ... auf jeden Fall nimmt der Markt die vielen News
heute sehr positiv auf ... Schlußstand 2,58$
... ein Plus von knapp 10%!!!

Gruß Seinfeld

[seinfeld]

Der Kurs kennt kein Halten mehr und hier interessiert es fast niemanden

Ein neues Jahreshoch nach dem Anderen

Aktuell 2,97$ (+15%!!!!)

SIRIUS Satellite - Rally läuft...

...an wichtigen Widerstand.

Sirius Satellite (SIRI)

Diagnose : Sirius Satellite zeiht heute weiter nach oben durch und erreicht bei hohem Volumen ein neues Jahreshoch. Der Kurs steht damit intraday an einer wichtigen Aufwärtstrendlinie die einen dynamischen Widerstand bildet. Auf weiteren Widerstand trifft der Kurs bei 3,9 und 6,1 Dollar. Support bieten der Bereich 2,2 Dollar sowie die mittelfristige Aufwärtstrendlinie bei aktuell 2,1 Dollar.

Prognose : Mit einem Scheitern an der Aufwärtstrendlinie muss zunächst gerechnet werden. Kann dieser Widerstand bei dem vorhandenen hohen Volumen nach oben durchbrochen werden erschließt sich jedoch schnell weiteres Potential bis 3,9 Dollar. Ein Pullback auf die Aufwärtstrendlinie wäre bei einem Scheitern am Widerstand mittelfristig nicht negativ zu werten. Erst bei nachhaltigem Bruch der 2,2 Dollar droht hier eine ausgedehnte Konsolidierung.


Gruß Seinfeld

[seinfeld]

Schlusskurs 3,05$!!!!!!

Hallo Seinfeld, ja das ist eine schöne Jahresendüberraschung. Jetzt ärgere ich mich bei 1,90$ noch mal etwas nachgelegt zu haben. Ich wollte schon bei 3,40$ verkaufen, denn der Kurs wird die 2,60$ noch ein paar mal sehen.Aber die Gebühren der Nasdaq haben mich davon abgehalten.Der Weg ist richtig, Daumen hoch 12$ (2007) wir kommen. Vielleicht schon etwas eher, wenn die Meldungen stimmen.

Schlußkurs 3,82 Dollar ... von solchen Kursen
haben wir ja vor Wochen nur träumen dürfen ...
Wohin mag der Weg jetzt noch führen??
Im Moment schreit eigentlich alles nach einer Korrektur,
denn aktuell ist SIRI massiv überkauft ... längerfristig
ist aber bestimmt noch viel Potential vorhanden, zumindest
dann wenn die Abonnentenzahlen weiter steigen und auch die
gesamte Nasdaq mitspielt ...

An alle SIRI-Experten,

ich habe die Aktie am 19.12.03 zu 1,85 gekauft u. wollte eigentlich auf 12-Monats-Sicht 100% damit machen. Jetzt sind wir nach 12 Tagen bei ca. 3 Euro. Wie weit kann die Aktie noch laufen?

[Nekrophillus]

Moin seinfeld,

das macht doch nix, lass sie doch mal auf 3,30 korrigieren. selbst meine freundin, die mit aktien nix am hut hat, hat heut morgen zu mir gesagt: schatz dieses satelliten radio in amerika hat hand und fuss, ich kam aus dem staunen nicht mehr heraus .
Ein besseres Zeichen gibs für mich net.
Das einzige, was mich nervt, ist dass es so viele sirius shares gibt, bloss keine reverse splits oder so, aber fundamental super aussichten.

schoenes wochenende,

Hallo Frank888,
ich habe vor kurzem über ein Kursziel von 12$ / Anfang 2007 gelesen. Bei diesen Sprüngen denke ich, dass SIRI da vielleicht noch etwas schneller ist.

@nekrophillus

Da ich gestern einen Teil meiner Aktien für 3,80$ verkauft habe (KK 1,60$), hätte ich nichts dagegen, wenn es nochmal auf die starke Unterstützung bei ca. 2,20$ zurückgehen würde ... in einer Chartanalyse wird bei Überspringen der Marke von 3,90$ der nächste Widerstand erst bei 6,10$ gesehen, deshalb hab ich natürlich nicht alle Aktien veräußert ... nächste Woche stehen einige Termine an, z.B. Pressekonferenz am 7. oder 8.1, dazu eine Roadshow, ich glaube in Detroit, dann wird man vielleicht schon klarer sehen, ob der fulminante Anstieg gerechtfertigt ist ... ein wichtiger Aspekt dürften da die Abonnentenzahlen sein ... generell macht mir auch Sorge, daß es so viele Aktien gibt, bei 998.000.000 Stück (!!!!!) sind wir ja schon bei einer Marktkapitalisierung von annährend 4 Mrd. Dollar ... das finde ich doch ein bißchen heftig für Phantasie auf steigende Zahlen ...

Gruß Seinfeld

[blueschipp]

das sehe ich doch gern!
Nach 2 Wochen Urlaub mit Schnee, aber ohne Aktien ein dickes Plus bei SIRI.
Denke, daß am Montag einige Gewinnmitnahmen folgen werden.
Danach geht es wieder aufwärts.
Glaube an 5 $ bis zum Monatsende.

[Nekrophillus]

seinfeld, ich sehe keinen sinn darin, warum die aktie fast 50% ihres wertes verlieren sollte, da muessten schon sehr schlechte Zahlen,Nachrichten kommen oder die Nasdaq wieder auf talfahrt gehen, ich glaube die 2,20 sehen wir auf keinen fall wieder.

im moment habe ich das gefühl, jeder will rein in die Aktie, stoploss hab ich bei 3,20, aber vor den news der cpl wird der wohl hoffentlich nicht ausgelöst.

denke aber eh, dass deine Position wesentlich groesser ist, und somit kann ich deinen teilweisen verkauf verstehen.

Was hast du denn sonst noch so in deinem depot?

ITXC ... heute plus 17%

... und über die ganzen Verluste rede ich heute nicht



SIRI startete heute mit Höchstkurs von 4,20$,

Warten wir´s ab ...

Delirious for Sirius

Sirius Satellite Radio has jumped nearly 60% with the turn of the New Year. Sure, Sirius recently inked some good-looking deals with pro sports, and they hit the 200,000-subscriber mark in early December. But take a peek beneath the hood and you`ll find a company that is still losing $100 million per quarter and trading at an absurd-looking premium.

By Seth Jayson
January 5, 2004
While the rest of the market greeted the New Year with a yawn, shares of Sirius Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI) surged over 20% on Friday, leading the Nasdaq in volume at 237 million shares, or about four times its average volume. (That`s almost a fourth of the entire company changing hands in one day.) For the week, Sirius jumped almost 60%. What`s going on here?

At first glance, you might be tempted to call this a short squeeze, but with less than 7% of the float sold short, there must be something else at work here.

I believe the scientific term for it is: kookiness maximus.

Fools, remember that XM (Nasdaq: XMSR) is the leader in satellite radio. With around 1.2 million subscribers, XM has six times as many paying customers as Sirius. Nearly everyone attributes the lead to XM`s nine-month head start over Sirius.

But lately, Sirius has been making headlines with important but -- to Foolish eyes -- expensive sports deals with the NBA, NHL, and NFL. Sirius also has agreements to provide Satellite radio systems as OEM options in Ford (NYSE: F), DaimlerChrysler, (NYSE: DCX), and BMW automobiles.

There have been some rosy projections for satellite radio over the holidays, and for growth in the year 2004. At least one industry watcher, SkyWaves Research, predicts that Sirius will report an increase of 95,000 subscribers for the fourth quarter of 2003.

Sounds pretty good, huh? Ready to jump on the bus before it leaves the station? Before you do, let`s take just a brief peek under the hood.

Siriusly scary finances
Let`s begin with a reality check: Sirius is a firm that closed last Friday with a market cap of $3.8 billion, but has recorded just under $8 million in sales for the first three quarters of 2003. Sirius has been going through cash like the proverbial drunken sailor (somewhere around $90 million per quarter), and has posted quarterly net losses well north of $100 million for the past several quarters.

In fact, a trip through the Sirius`s financials makes for some of the spookiest reading this side of Stephen King. The quarterly losses were actually accelerating at a horrific clip, as the company`s net red ink has almost doubled every year since 1999, before flattening a bit this year.

Want a couple more chilling numbers? In Q3 `03, the cost of customer service and billing was $2.2 million. That expense alone ate up more than half of Sirius`s $4.3 million in revenues. Call me a cynic, but I have doubts about a business that has to cough up $0.50 on its way to charging me a dollar.

I worry even more when it costs that business $12 to convince me to pony up that buck. (The third quarter`s sales and marketing plus "subscriber-acquisition costs" totaled $53 million, more than 12 times revenue.) And there are plenty of other bills to pay at Sirius. As Count Floyd might have said, "That`s some scary stuff, kids."

The life vest keeping Sirius afloat has been the issuance of new stock. The company that finished 2002 with well under 100 million shares now trades nearly one billion stubs.

Back in August, Tom Jacobs took a look at the two companies and pointed out that while Sirius had more cash -- due to that huge stock offering in early 2003 -- it was also burning that cash more quickly.

85 years of commercial-free bliss
The key to Sirius` survival (note: I said survival, not success) will be increasing its subscriber base. As of Dec. 9, Sirius had reached a self-described milestone of 200,000. Subscribers pay $13 a month. Do the math, and you`ll see that the current pool of paying listeners will contribute a paltry $31 million next year. (And remember, this is the main source of incoming revenue. Advertising is negligible at a network that aims to be commercial-free.) Incremental increases in subscriptions may do little to offset current cash burn, but they might at least convince the Street that it`s worth holding onto its shares.

But you should expect the price to fluctuate. To put some perspective on things, let`s take a look at the current valuation. We`ll back out an estimated $500 million in cash and assume that Sirius had a huge holiday season. If we estimate 250,000 current subscribers -- the number that SkyWaves Research claims Sirius may attain by early January -- Sirius`s $3.8 billion market cap values the company at $13,200 (or 85 years of service) per subscriber. If Sirius could wave a magic wand and suddenly have 2.5 million subscribers by tomorrow morning, it would still be priced for over eight years of service per client. How rational does that seem?

The only plausible reason for last week`s feeding frenzy may be the nod of approval Sirius got from fund manager Barbara Marcin on Louis Rukeyser`s Wall Street. With all due respect to Ms. Marcin, this Fool believes that Sirius presents a seriously wonderful opportunity to ignore the Wise. The odds look better at the track.

Which pony gets your bet? Do you want to bet at all? Discuss on our satellite radio boards, Sirius and XM.

Seth Jayson thinks satellite radio is way cool. But when he`s doing some rural road-tripping in his pickup, he prefers the local color available only on genuine AM radio. He has no plans to upgrade his mullet, either. You can reach him at [e-mail]. The Motley Fool is investor writing for investors.

1. Sirius ist halt eine Glaubensfrage ... das spürt man besonders in amerikanischen Boards, wo es entweder XM- oder Sirius-Fans gibt ... aber NIEMAND(!!!) hat beide Aktien, zumindest gewinnt man bei den ganzen Push- und Bash-Versuchen diesen Eindruck ...

2. Motley Fool hat nichts wirklich Neues gebracht ... das SIRI noch jeden Monat ein dickes Minus einfährt, ist bekannt ... und das wir mit den Abonnenten-Zahlen hinterher hinken ebenfalls ... auch die teuren Sport-Deals bergen natürlich eine gewisse Gefahr in sich, tragen aber auch zum Bekanntheitsgrad der Firma bei ...

3. Ich fand die Reaktion des Marktes heute sehr nachvollziehbar. Nach einen Anstieg von über 60% in so kurzer Zeit, mußte es jetzt einfach mal zu einem Rücksetzer kommen ... möglicherweise geht das auch noch ein paar Tage so weiter, vielleicht bringt aber die Roadshow oder die Veröffentlichung der neuesten Abo-Zahlen auch schon wieder neue Impulse für einen weiteren Anstieg ...

Steven Van Zandt to Join Sirius Programming Team



Van Zandt Will Serve as Creative Advisor, Launch "Underground Garage" Stream
On 100% Commercial-Free Satellite Radio Service
LAS VEGAS, and NEW YORK, Jan. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Celebrated musician, actor, and syndicated radio producer Steven Van Zandt has joined the SIRIUS Satellite Radio programming staff as Creative Advisor. Van Zandt will create and program "Underground Garage," an exclusive, fulltime stream for SIRIUS that will debut later this year. He will also produce and host other SIRIUS shows and serve as advisor on select other SIRIUS streams.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19991118/NYTH125 )

Van Zandt is a pivotal figure in the current rock and roll revival. His internationally syndicated, two-hour radio show, Little Steven`s Underground Garage, reaches nearly a million commercial radio listeners every week. Rolling Stone summed it up as "Mind blowingly great." The show, credited with spurring a major resurgence in garage rock, is now carried on over 130 stations in the U.S. and Canada, and 43 countries through the Voice of America.

Garage Rock, as Van Zandt describes it, is back-to-basics rock `n` roll "with a direct connection to the `60s." Some celebrated garage rock artists through the ages include the Yardbirds, Animals, Kinks, Electric Prunes, Easybeats, Ramones, and more recently, The Hives, White Stripes and The Strokes.

"SIRIUS is about passion and respect for the music, and I can`t think of anyone who has more passion and respect for music than Steven," said Joseph P. Clayton, President and Chief Executive Officer, SIRIUS. "Steven will contribute a lifetime`s worth of sage music experience to the SIRIUS programmers. And, as an accomplished musician, radio programmer and DJ he`ll create an appealing 24/7 rock format that isn`t available anywhere else."

"I am honored to be part of the SIRIUS Satellite family," says Van Zandt. "Choice is what freedom is all about and SIRIUS broadcasting an additional 100 channels of music and talk on top of what terrestrial radio already offers can only be a good thing. SIRIUS will be making history by our channel being the only traditional rock and roll format in the country playing new music. All other new music channels or stations are hard rock, hip-hop, or pop music based. The potential synergy between my syndicated show on terrestrial radio and the 24-hour Underground Garage format on SIRIUS will be tremendous. The Rock and Roll Revolution is on!"

Van Zandt recently completed a 15-month worldwide tour with Bruce Springsteen`s E Street Band, of which he is a founding member. In addition to his career with the E Street Band, he has released five solo CDs. One of his compositions, "Affection" -- a track from an unreleased album by his garage rock band The Lost Boys -- can be found on The Sopranos` second soundtrack CD, Peppers and Eggs. He is also an accomplished record producer and songwriter.

Throughout the 1980s Van Zandt traveled the world to further the cause of human rights. He spearheaded the widely acclaimed anti-apartheid Sun City project and he established the Solidarity Foundation in 1985 to support the sovereignty of indigenous peoples. Van Zandt was honored twice by the United

Nations for his human rights efforts. More recently he has earned acting acclaim as Silvio Dante, one of Tony Soprano`s henchmen on The Sopranos.

Guten Morgen,

es geht ja aufwärts! Meine Analysten Info Quelle aus New York teilte mir gesten mit, dass XM einen wesentlich leichteren Start hatte. Das Resultierte in erster Linie aus einem XM gewährten Anfangskapital von 1Mrd. $. Dennoch wurde mitgeteilt dass wir noch im Juli Kurse um 11 $ bei SIRI sehen werden. Das angestrebte Ziel liegt bei 30 Mill. Abonenten. Natürlich ist die Aktie jetzt total überbewertet und realistisch gesehen keine 1,00 $ wert. Das kann jedoch nicht anders sein, da sich Siri auf völligem Neuland befindet. Warten wirs ab. Ich wünsche allen Siri - investierten viel Erfolg.

SIRIUS Satellite Radio and Alpine Electronics Announce Plans ...

LAS VEGAS and NEW YORK, Jan. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CES -- SIRIUS Satellite Radio known for delivering the very best in commercial-free music and premium sports programming to cars and homes across the country, and Alpine Electronics today announced plans to develop SIRIUS products for the Alpine retail aftermarket to be available in 2004.

"Over the past year, we have been focused on expanding our brand partnerships to provide consumers with the largest choice of satellite radio hardware at the retail level," said Joseph P. Clayton, President and CEO, SIRIUS. "Adding a world-class partner such as Alpine provides customers with the best choices in electronics to go along with the best choice in commercial-free music and sports programming in satellite radio."

"Alpine is committed to providing consumers with the most flexible and best sounding satellite radio solutions for their vehicles," said Stephen Witt, Alpine``s Vice President of Brand Marketing.

UPDATE - Sirius to beam video to cars by mid-2005
Wednesday January 7, 8:30 pm ET
By Franklin Paul


(Adds detail, XM, Delphi company comment, byline)
LAS VEGAS, Jan 7 (Reuters) - Satellite radio provider Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. (NasdaqNM:SIRI - News) on Wednesday said it expects to deliver up to four channels of video programming to TV screen equipped cars by mid-2005.

"It is a market ready product," but implementation of the system still depends on finalizing deals with manufacturers and content providers, Doug Wilsterman, a Sirius senior vice president, told Reuters.

Video screens are becoming a common add-on inside cars, particularly in sport utility vehicles. Playing mainly DVDs, the machines add "home theater" styling to high-end models and, in more affordable vehicles, serve as a way for young passengers to pass time while traveling.

Like its radio products that are primarily installed in cars, a Sirius` TV offering would feature continuous nationwide viewing, meaning that a traveler could watch the same channel without interruptions while moving from state to state.

Sirius said it expects to deliver 3-to-4 channels of video, and will likely focus on children`s content, such as cartoons. The company, which charges about $10 a month for its music and talk radio service, said the shows may aggregate video from several providers, and added that it had not determined how much it would charge in addition for video.

At CES, Blaupunkt will preview two products designed to add SIRIUS Satellite Radio reception capabilities to the company`s in-car audio/video entertainment systems and conventional in-dash car stereo receivers.

Es ist bisher alles zugetroffen. Daher sehe ich die Sache vielleicht mit anderen Augen. Wenn ich den lezten aufgepuschten Kursanstieg von 1,90 auf 4,20 $ sehe dann kann ich mir so einen Höhenflug bis 12 $ durchaus mal vorstellen.

Sirius sees no need for FCC okay on video service
Tuesday January 13, 3:40 pm ET
By Jeremy Pelofsky


WASHINGTON, Jan 13 (Reuters) - Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. (NasdaqNM:SIRI - News) believes that it does not need permission from federal regulators to add video programming to its product line next year, a company spokesman said on Tuesday.
After Sirius announced last week that it plans to offer video programming, the Federal Communications Commission (News - Websites) said on Monday it had initiated talks to learn more and determine if the licenses assigned to the company permitted such service or if the FCC needed to authorize it.

"Our licenses from the FCC permits us to offer satellite radio and other ancillary services over the radio spectrum that has been licensed to us," said Sirius spokesman Jim Collins.

"Our offering of the video will be ancillary to our satellite radio service and doesn`t require any other licenses, approval or other actions by the FCC," he said.

The company has said it plans to offer three to four channels of nationwide video programming in vehicles, which increasingly are being outfitted with video screens as a way to entertain passengers on long trips.

The FCC issued licenses and authorizations to Sirius that are for digital radio service and do not directly mention video service. The company is allowed to offer some secondary services, but it was unclear whether a video component would fall under that category.

If the FCC believes that the licenses do not cover video service, then the company would likely have to ask the agency to give it the go-ahead.

FCC spokesman David Fiske on Tuesday reiterated the agency`s desire to learn more about the planned video service and the company`s rationale regarding how it believes its licenses cover the offering.

SIRIUS Satellite Radio Announces Fourth Quarter and Year-End ...

NEW YORK, Jan. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SIRIUS , known for delivering the very best in commercial-free music and premium sports programming to cars and homes across the country, today announced fourth quarter and year-end 2003 financial and operating results.


As of December 31, 2003, SIRIUS had 261,061 subscribers. This represents a net subscriber addition of 111,449 during the fourth quarter of 2003, a 74% increase from the company``s total subscribers at the end of the third quarter of 2003, and over eight times the number of ending subscribers reported by the company at December 31, 2002.

During the fourth quarter of 2003, SIRIUS experienced significant gains in the retail aftermarket channel, fueled by strong sales during the holiday selling season. SIRIUS added more than 86,000 subscribers from the retail aftermarket channel, 162% more than were activated in the third quarter of the year. During the busy shopping season, national consumer electronics retailers showcased SIRIUS as a featured product, and SIRIUS was named a best-bet in gift guides from top consumer publications, such as Good Housekeeping, Business Week, Rolling Stone, Newsweek and New York Magazine.

"Consumers flocked to our extensive product line-up, including four feature-laden transportable Plug-&-Play receivers - one of them packaged in an easy to purchase ``Jam Pack``. The appeal of these new products, combined with our premium, differentiated content, made SIRIUS a very popular holiday gift item," said Joseph P. Clayton, President and CEO, SIRIUS. "We had a great quarter, increasing our share of satellite radio retail sales to approximately 32% at the end of November, according to the NPD Group, up from approximately 11% at the end of 2002."

During the fourth quarter of 2003, SIRIUS added over 24,000 subscribers through its automotive, boating and trucking partnerships. By the end of 2003, DaimlerChrysler, Ford, BMW, Nissan, Infiniti and Audi offered SIRIUS Satellite Radio in more than 50 different vehicle models. In 2004, the company``s automotive partners are expected to offer SIRIUS in nearly 80 vehicle models, with 50 of those offered as a factory option.

SIRIUS maintains a strong cash position, ending the year with $550 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. During the fourth quarter of 2003, SIRIUS raised $150 million through a common stock offering. SIRIUS also reduced its debt during the fourth quarter through the exchange of common stock for $65 million of the company``s outstanding convertible notes.

Recent Developments:

SIRIUS recently signed several important agreements in the programming, product and distribution areas, which the company believes will enhance its consumer offering and competitive position.

Yesterday, SIRIUS announced agreements with Penske Automotive Group, Inc., United Auto Group, Inc., Penske Truck Leasing Co. L.P. and Penske Corporation. Penske Automotive Group and United Auto Group together own and operate approximately 144 auto dealerships in the United States. Penske Truck Leasing, the largest truck renting and leasing company in the United States, leases heavy trucks on a long-term basis to individual and fleet operators and rents trucks on a short-term basis to individuals. Penske Corporation and its affiliates are active participants in motorsports, with racing teams that participate in NASCAR, IRL and other events.

United Auto Group and Penske Automotive Group each have agreed to order SIRIUS radios, where available, with all of the vehicles they purchase from automakers, and to use best efforts to include a bundled subscription to the company``s service in the sale or lease of these vehicles. Penske Truck Leasing has agreed to order SIRIUS radios, where available, with all new trucks it purchases. Penske Truck Leasing will also install SIRIUS radios in a select number of trucks it leases to consumers. Each of these companies plans to launch an extensive joint marketing effort with SIRIUS, including mailings to customers, prominent signage in dealerships, use of the SIRIUS satellite radio service in their dealerships and exposure in Penske racing efforts.

In December 2003, SIRIUS announced a long-term arrangement with the National Football League. SIRIUS will offer its subscribers access to NFL games starting with the 2004-2005 season. This arrangement, along with SIRIUS`` existing relationships with the NHL and the NBA, solidify SIRIUS`` position as the satellite radio sports leader.

At the 2004 Consumer Electronics Show earlier this month, SIRIUS announced several new initiatives. Building on a multi-brand product strategy, SIRIUS announced further additions to its already impressive line-up of consumer electronics partners. In 2003, Audiovox, JVC, Brix and Antex joined Kenwood, Clarion, Panasonic and Jensen as SIRIUS manufacturers. In 2004, SIRIUS expects to add Eclipse, Blaupunkt, Sanyo and Alpine and premium custom home installation partners Niles and Crestron. Other new partners for 2004 are expected to include: U.S. Electronics, Magnadyne, PS Engineering and Tivoli.

Also at CES, SIRIUS unveiled new data services, which are expected to begin with the transmission of sports scores and stock quotes. Existing SIRIUS radios are backwards-compatible with this new service, which will be offered at no extra cost to subscribers.

At last year``s CES, SIRIUS was the first satellite radio provider to demonstrate proof-of-concept for video transmission. This year, SIRIUS and Delphi demonstrated a product capable of receiving and displaying video, and allowed CES attendees to sample this new service by test-driving a Ford Explorer. SIRIUS`` video offering is expected to start with 3 to 4 channels of children``s programming in mid-2005.

SIRIUS has also announced a full suite of new traffic services, which is expected to start in the third quarter of 2004 with a simple traffic solution that is backwards-compatible with all existing SIRIUS radios.

In partnership with Dolby Labs, SIRIUS is now broadcasting in Dolby Pro Logic II surround sound. Currently, this applies to any song recorded in multi-channel sound, but will soon expand to include SIRIUS Sessions, live performances which will now be recorded and broadcast in Dolby Pro Logic II. SIRIUS will also begin to upgrade its music library by including multi-channel Super Audio CD (SACD) and DVD-Audio selections.

Lastly, Soundgate(R) and SIRIUS have announced a translator that can be connected to any satellite-radio-ready car stereo. Customers who own a vehicle equipped with a competing satellite radio service will be able to subscribe to SIRIUS`` premium programming by simply adding a standard SIRIUS tuner and a small translator module.

Conference Call Information:

SIRIUS will hold a conference call today at 10:00 AM EST to discuss operating and financial results. The access numbers for the call are 973.582.2745 (toll) or 877.691.0878 (toll free).

(Selected financial information follows).

SIRIUS defines adjusted EBITDA loss as net loss before interest and investment income, interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, depreciation expense, non-cash stock compensation expense and debt restructuring. This definition of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We have raised and invested large amounts of capital to fund the completion of our system; as a result, our results of operations include significant charges for depreciation. In addition, we have recognized a gain associated with the restructuring of our debt. Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes these items, provides a basis to measure our operating performance, apart from the expenses associated with our physical plant or capital structure. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating loss, cash flow from operating activities or other measures of performance defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA loss is presented on the attachment.

SIRIUS defines average monthly revenue per subscriber, or ARPU, as the total earned subscription revenue and activation revenue during the period, over the daily weighted average number of subscribers for the period. ARPU is not a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

SIRIUS defines subscriber acquisition costs, or SAC, as costs of incentives for the purchase, installation, and activation of SIRIUS radios, as well as subsidies paid to radio and chipset manufacturers, automakers and retailers and negative margin on equipment. SAC is not a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The special translator module from SoundGate, in conjunction with a SIRIUS tuner and antenna, allows the SIRIUS signal to be played over any in-dash satellite-ready radio. The SoundGate adapter also has the ability to allow other, non satellite-ready radios from GM and Honda to receive SIRIUS`` 100% commercial free music, plus news, entertainment and play-by-play sports without having to buy new radios.

"The SoundGate translator module is the easy and convenient answer for consumers who want to receive premium satellite radio programming, but whose in-dash radios are currently not set up to receive SIRIUS," said Larry Pesce, Senior Vice President of Product Development and Strategic Planning, SIRIUS. "We want to be able to offer our commercial-free music, NBA, NHL and -- beginning next football season -- NFL games to as many consumers as possible, regardless of what satellite radio system their vehicle was designed to have. In close partnership with SoundGate, we``ll now be able to satisfy GM and Honda owners who are starved for a premium satellite radio service."

The estimated retail price of the SoundGate translator, including the SIRIUS tuner and antenna, is $149.99. SoundGate translator modules for General Motors vehicles are available now at mobile electronics stores across the country. The SoundGate translator for Honda vehicles will be available at the end of this month. The SoundGate translators for GM and Honda vehicles are also expected to be sold directly to these auto dealerships.

Der Kurs scheint sich jetzt im Bereich zwischen 2,70 und 2,80$ zu stabilisieren, auch charttechnisch sollte dieser Bereich halten, denn bei einem signifikanten Unterschreiten dieser Marke würde der einjährige Aufwärtstrend brechen und es droht ein Absturz bis zu der starken Unterstützung bei 2,10 bis 2,20$ ... wo ich ja gerne nochmal nachkaufen möchte ... ob es aber wirklich so weit runter geht, hängt auch von der Nachrichtenlage und dem allgemeinen Nasdaqtrend ab ... immerhin haben wir ja jetzt schon ca. 30% korrigiert, somit ist auch ein Rebound nach oben über die Marke von 3 Dollar wieder gut möglich ...

Standard Radio Partners With CBC/Radio-Canada and Sirius to Bring Satellite Radio to Canadians
Tuesday February 10, 10:00 am ET

NEW YORK and TORONTO, Feb. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Standard Radio Inc. of Canada today announced that it will join with CBC/Radio-Canada and SIRIUS Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI - News) in a joint venture to bring satellite radio to Canadians.

"As this country`s largest privately-owned broadcaster we are excited to be partnering with CBC/Radio-Canada and with SIRIUS," said Gary Slaight, President and CEO, Standard Radio Inc. "Not only will this service expand the choices available to Canadians, it will also create new opportunities for Canadian talent on this new platform."

In December 2003, CBC/Radio-Canada and SIRIUS announced their partnership to bring satellite radio to Canada, and filed an application with the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). If licensed by the CRTC, this new Canadian-controlled subscription-based service will be available across the country, from urban centers to the most remote regions of the country.

"Standard Radio has a long and distinguished history, especially in terms of innovative programming and support for Canadian talent, and will be an excellent partner in this exciting venture which will bring a fresh new national service to Canadians," added Robert Rabinovitch, President and CEO, CBC/Radio-Canada. "Through this and other strategic partnerships CBC/Radio-Canada is able to better fulfill its mandate by providing Canadians with even greater access to a wide range of commercial-free music, information, and entertainment programming, including Canadian content."

"We are thrilled to welcome Standard Radio Inc. to this exciting initiative," said Joseph P. Clayton, President and CEO of SIRIUS. "Working closely with CBC/Radio-Canada, we believe that this combination of broadcasting experience and unique entertainment programming will be a great benefit to Canadians. Plus, our exclusive car manufacturers, DaimlerChrysler, Ford and BMW, sell over half a million vehicles in Canada each year, so this will enhance our reach as well."

Hallo Seinfeld, alter Einzelkämpfer!
Ja es scheint etwas kontinuierlicher vorwärts zu gehen. Die von mir in den Chart eingezeichnete Marke hat gehalten. Da soll doch mal einer sagen Charttechnik ist Humbug!? Male bitte den Teufel nicht an die Wand, Kurse um die 2,20 $ möchte ich hier nicht mehr sehen! Habe schon wegen ein paar Dummschwätzern den Ausstieg bei 4,05 verpasst. Mache mir seither ein eigenes Bild. Die Erfahrung lehrt ja so einiges.

Hallo rattelu!!

Keine Sorge, ich kann mir jetzt nicht mehr vorstellen, daß wir in den Bereich von 2,20$ abrutschen können ... es hat sich ja jetzt eine feste Unterstützung bei ca. 2,70$ gebildet und wenn es keine negativen Überraschungen in den Zahlen geben sollte, dürfte es nun eher wieder aufwärts gehen ...

Aber bei SIRI weiß man halt nie

Hör mir auf mit PRVH, bin dort zu 0,28Euro drinn. Diese sinnlose Panikmache gestern kann ich nicht verstehen. Es heisst zwar: Sell and good news, aber das haben einige dann wohl doch zu wörtlich genommen.
Ich bin davon überzeugt, dass PRVH seinen Weg geht. Falls Dir dennoch was negatives bekannt sein sollte, kannst Du es mir ja über BM mitteilen. Wäre Dir dankbar.
Viel Erfolg weiterhin

Sirius Satellite kooperiert mit RadioShack, hebt Prognosen an


Der amerikanische Satellitenradio-Betreiber Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. hob am Donnerstag seine Nutzer-Prognosen für das Fiskaljahr 2004 deutlich an. Bis zum Ende des laufenden Geschäftsjahres will der zweitgrößte amerikanische Satellitenradio-Betreiber anstatt der zuvor prognostizierten 860.000 neuen Nutzer rund eine Million zahlende Neukunden unter Vertrag haben. Grund für diese optimistische Prognose ist das ebenfalls heute abgeschlossene Kooperationsabkommen mit der RadioShack Corp., einer Unterhaltungselektronik-Kette die zukünftig die Satellitenradio-Empfänger von Sirius Satellite vertreiben wird.
Im Anschluss hob Sirius Satellite seine Umsatzprognosen für das Gesamtjahr 2004 von ursprünglich 60 Mio. Dollar auf über 70 Mio. Dollar an. Des Weiteren will das Unternehmen bis Ende des Geschäftsjahres 2005 sein Ziel von zwei Millionen Nutzern erreichen und damit ein Break Even-Ergebnis auf Cash Flow-Basis erreichen.

Im Rahmen des mit der Elektronikhandelskette geschlossenen Vertriebsabkommens wird Sirius Satellite an RadioShack pro Neukunden einen bestimmten Betrag bezahlen. Zu diesem Zweck emittiert der Satellitenradio-Betreiber Kaufoptionen, welche zum Bezug von insgesamt 10 Millionen Aktien von Sirius Satellite zu einem Ausübungskurs von 5 Dollar je Aktie berechtigen.

Die Kaufoptionsscheine können jedoch von RadioShack nur nach Erreichen von bestimmten, vertraglich festgelegten Planzielen ausgeübt werden. Das Vertriebsabkommen, welches auch den Vertrieb der Satellitenradiogeräte durch andere Vertriebspartner, welche das von Echostar Communications Corp. entwickelte Satellitenfernseh-System Dish Network anbieten, wird Mitte dieses Jahres in Kraft treten, hieß es weiter.

SIRIUS Satellite Radio Makes Million Dollar Dreams Come True


NEW YORK, Feb. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Forty years ago, Shirley and William Jones thought they had made the big choice when they decided to get married. It turns out that 40 years later, Shirley made an even bigger choice when she entered the SIRIUS Big Choice Sweepstakes, which promised a million dollar prize to a lucky entrant and a million to another person the winner chose. For this Knoxville, Arkansas couple, the choice was easy -- the spouse would become the second million-dollar winner -- and now the rest of America is trying to "keep up with the Joneses."

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19991118/NYTH125 )

SIRIUS, known for delivering the very best in commercial-free music and premium sports programming to cars and homes across the country, announced the Big Choice Sweepstakes in September 2003, and word of the opportunity spread rapidly among friends in the Jones`` close-knit Knoxville community. The Jones had recently retired -- he from the construction business and she from accounting -- and they returned to their home in Arkansas to be closer to friends and family.

The Joneses were also no strangers to SIRIUS. The move back to Arkansas meant the couple had few radio options, including just one country music station with poor reception. "There``s not a lot of choice in the boondocks," said Shirley of her beloved town, with a laugh.

Having considered adding satellite radio to their lives for some time, Shirley was excited to log on to the SIRIUS web site to discover the numerous music, news and entertainment choices. Their unrequited love of country music is now satiated by SIRIUS`` six 100% commercial-free country music streams, including New Country, Prime Country, The Roadhouse, The Border, Bluegrass, and Folk Town. And if that isn``t enough, SIRIUS delivers a total of 61 100% commercial-free music streams and more than 40 streams of news, sports, and entertainment, including complete coverage of every NFL game, every week beginning this coming football season.

When the doorbell rang a few weeks ago, Shirley thought her husband was just trying to fix it. She went to the door to double check, and instead found a package with her husband``s name on it. When the couple opened it up and read the first line of the documents informing them of their winnings, "I almost fell over," Shirley said. "As both parents and grandparents, it takes a lot to shock us, but SIRIUS managed to do it."

With their winnings, Shirley and William plan to purchase a new car or two (equipped with SIRIUS, of course). The Joneses could use their prize money to scoot around the country with SIRIUS as a factory or dealer option in the 2005 New Beetle or in the 2005 all-new Jetta. Or, they can choose from six Mazda vehicles that will feature SIRIUS as a dealer-installed option including the Mazda Tribute, Mazda MPV, Miata, RX-8, MAZDA3, and MAZDA6. Other automotive brands offering SIRIUS in select new car models include BMW, MINI, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep(R), Nissan, Infiniti, Audi, Ford and Lincoln-Mercury.

The Joneses also plan to assist a family member, and make a number of smart investments so that they can enjoy a long, comfortable retirement.

And with their new SIRIUS radios, the couple will be able to wake up every weekday morning to "The Wall Street Journal This Morning," which covers the morning``s top business and money news, technology, careers and more. And they``ll hear hourly market reports and news from experts at The Wall Street Journal Report and Dow Jones Money Report, not to mention business news from CNBC, CNN and Fox News. All this so SIRIUS can help the Jones`` put their winnings in all the right places.

* Each winner will receive an annuity of $1 million to be paid as $50,000 a year for 20 years. About SIRIUS

Weather information will come from The Weather Channel, the nation`s premier provider of weather information.

"SIRIUS FIRST TRAFFIC sets itself apart from other national traffic reporting services because it has `eyes` on problem traffic areas, right where they are happening," said Jay Clark, Executive Vice President of Programming, SIRIUS. "Unlike other services, which attempt to monitor road conditions from as far as 2,500 miles away, SIRIUS FIRST TRAFFIC uses veteran on-the-scene reporters who know their roadways and can even suggest little-known shortcuts and re-routes."

By the end of March 2004, traffic and weather for Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco-San Jose, Boston, Dallas-Ft.

SIRIUS FIRST TRAFFIC will be provided to SIRIUS customers at no additional cost over the basic monthly subscription of $12.95 per month (an annual subscription lowers the monthly cost to about $10). This value-packed subscription also includes programming that you will only find on SIRIUS, including play-by-play from the NBA, NHL and NFL, two channels of NPR, and BBC World Service News. SIRIUS radio systems that can be used in both the car and home are available for $149 at electronics retailers including Best Buy, Circuit City and other retailers across America.

Sirius Satellite: Immer mehr Programme


Sirius Satellite, ein Anbieter von satellitenübertragenen Radioprogrammen, hat heute die Ausstrahlung lokaler Wetter- und Verkehrsmeldungen angekündigt und damit den Zorn der regionalen Radioverbände auf sich gezogen. Diese fürchten angesichts der steigenden Abonnentenzahlen für Anbieter wie Sirius oder XM Satellite Radio um die Beliebtheit ihrer Programme.

So argumentierte die Vereinigung örtlicher Radiobetreiber NAB heute, lokale Meldungen müssten den dortigen Sendern vorbehalten bleiben, während die großen Anbieter für überregionale Meldungen zuständig seien. Auch für die Errichtung von Übertragungsantennen für die Satelliten-Radioanbieter hat die NAB bereits Boykottaufrufe veröffentlicht.

Sirius Satellite hat außerdem bekannt gegeben, demnächst auch Videoprogramme für Kinder auszustrahlen. Immer mehr Automobile in den USA seien im Rücksitzbereich mit einem entsprechenden Empfangsgerät ausgestattet.

Die Aktie von Sirius Satellite Radio verbilligte sich heute um 2,67 Prozent auf 2,92 Dollar; XM Satellite Radio verloren 0,77 Prozent auf 24,44 Dollar.

Seit ich vor einem halben Jahr bei Kursen von ca. 1,60$ eingestiegen bin, hat sich der Kurs mehr als verdoppelt ... und das bei einem Wert, der ja auch absolut Substanz hat und ständig mit neuen Nachrichten herauskommt. Auch heute gibt´s wieder was zu berichten, nämlich das Heraufsetzen eines Kursziels von 3,75 auf 4,25 Dollar, hier die Meldung ...

SIRIUS Satellite Radio Provides the Ultimate Choice: Three Full-Time Channels of Liberal and Conservative Talk Programming


NEW YORK, April 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- This election year, citizens with liberal, progressive and conservative viewpoints -- no matter where they are in America -- can find a home on one of three politically-charged radio channels.

SIRIUS Satellite Radio , known for delivering the very best in commercial-free music and premium sports programming to cars and homes across the country, today announced that it will add Air America Radio to its lineup of programming that already includes the first radio channel dedicated to liberal viewpoints, SIRIUS LEFT. The two channels complement SIRIUS RIGHT, the talk radio channel dedicated to conservative viewpoints, which today announced the additions of such hard-hitting national stars as Michael Savage, Laura Ingraham and Tony Snow.

SIRIUS LEFT begins its second year as America``s first voice for liberals by adding seasoned radio hosts including Fox News Channel personality Alan Colmes, nationally-known liberal Midwesterner Ed Schultz, fiery New Yorker Lynn Samuels, San Francisco radio legend Alex Bennett and SIRIUS originals The Young Turks.

SIRIUS RIGHT promises the fiery, unyielding opinions of national talk sensation Michael Savage; the biting conservative views of Laura Ingraham; and the unmatched knowledge and insights of Fox News Commentator Tony Snow and accomplished talk show hosts Rusty Humphries and Michael Reagan.

Air America Radio will feature on-air personalities who represent today``s top political and popular satirists, commentators and activists. Comedian and best-selling author Al Franken, whose books include Lies, and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right and Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot, will host a weekday show called The O``Franken Factor.

"This new lineup is the Tiffany of conservative and liberal talk radio," said Jay Clark, Executive Vice President of Programming, SIRIUS. "These hosts are intelligent, humorous and sharp-tongued. They don``t hold back on their opinions, and they know how to bring the best out of their callers. While we are not in the business of telling people where to stand, we make it our business to ensure every viewpoint is represented."

Jones Radio Networks`` Ed Schultz, the award-winning liberal talker who has generated boxcar ratings for over seventeen years in the Midwest, says of his place in the SIRIUS LEFT lineup, "I``ve always been the lone lefty - and the No. 1 program - on right-leaning stations. To be ``all-left`` is all right with me. I``m sure we``ll have a lot of listeners from SIRIUS RIGHT click over to hear what Big Eddie has to say."

"To be able to do a talk radio show is an unbelievable blessing," Tony Snow said. "There is a way to talk about all the issues and have a sense of confidence rather than a sense of fear, anger, or rage. I``m certainly going to be making my political views known, and from time to time I``ll get into fights with people, but the idea here is to have fun with it."

"We are delighted that SIRIUS Satellite Radio will bring our important message directly into the cars, homes and minds of Americans," said Mark Walsh, CEO of Progress Media. "There is a great audience of Americans who want to hear compelling and funny talk voices expressing viewpoints long absent from the radio airwaves. Now they``ll get to hear the full Air America Radio line-up on SIRIUS."

Full programming schedules and a complete list of hosts will be posted to http://www.sirius.com/.

Mercedes-Benz Announces Availability of Sirius Satellite Radio
Monday April 19, 11:06 am ET
SIRIUS Satellite Radio Provides an Enhanced Audio Experience


MONTVALE, N.J. and NEW YORK, April 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mercedes-Benz USA and SIRIUS Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI - News) are pleased to announce availability of the premier satellite radio service as a dealer installed option for most model year 2004 and newer Mercedes-Benz vehicles at authorized dealerships in the contiguous United States.


SIRIUS Satellite Radio offers multiple benefits over conventional FM and AM radio. Any one of the SIRIUS satellite radio channels can be tuned in from coast to coast, enabling the listener to drive across the country without having to change the station. Additionally, SIRIUS does not rely on advertising dollars to support its music, allowing customers to enjoy the wide variety of content without commercial interruptions.

The equipment required to receive SIRIUS satellite radio is specifically engineered for each Mercedes-Benz model, and is fully integrated into the Mercedes-Benz audio system. This allows the customer to enjoy pure digital sound, and to view content information from SIRIUS -- such as title and artist name of the music that is being played -- live on the head-unit display. In addition, the Mercedes-Benz supplied equipment is fully backed by the Mercedes-Benz new car limited warranty, which covers the equipment for up to 4 years. If the customer chooses to have SIRIUS installed after initial delivery, the Mercedes-Benz warranty covers the equipment for the remainder of the new car limited warranty, or one year, whichever is greater.

SIRIUS satellite radio is available as a dealer installed option on most 2004 and newer Mercedes-Benz vehicles (with the exception of `04 SLK-Class and C-Class Coupe, and early production model year `04 M-Class). SIRIUS satellite radio can be installed by authorized Mercedes-Benz dealerships for $679 plus installation, which includes a one year paid subscription plus two bonus months of free service for a total of 14 months of service. SIRIUS installation can also be included in a customer`s lease, making satellite radio even more affordable.

"Mercedes-Benz is very excited about the introduction of SIRIUS satellite radio and the ability to provide our customers with a premium audio experience," said Michelle Cervantez, Mercedes-Benz Vice-President of Marketing.

"SIRIUS and Mercedes-Benz are all about enhancing the driving experience," said Doug Wilsterman, Senior Vice President, Automotive OEM, for SIRIUS. "Like many others on the road today, Mercedes-Benz drivers will now be able to experience for themselves the pleasures of 100% commercial-free music, news, entertainment and unequalled sports coverage, including NBA, NHL and NFL play- by-play games."

NEW YORK, April 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SIRIUS Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI - News), known for delivering the very best in commercial-free music and premium sports programming to cars and homes across the country, today announced first quarter 2004 financial and operating results.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19991118/NYTH125 )
As of March 31, 2004, SIRIUS had 351,663 subscribers. This represents a net subscriber addition of 90,602 during the quarter, a 138% increase over the net subscriber additions reported by the company at March 31, 2003.

During the first quarter of 2004, SIRIUS announced several new distribution and programming agreements, which are expected to make SIRIUS available through over 20,000 locations and solidify the company`s position as the leader in commercial-free music and sports offerings. SIRIUS continued to experience significant gains in the retail aftermarket channel, fueled by strong post-holiday activations, increased product availability, and strengthening consumer awareness. During the quarter, SIRIUS added more than 65,500 subscribers from the retail aftermarket channel, 154% more than were activated in the first quarter of 2003. SIRIUS products, including five different Plug-&-Play receivers and two transportable boom-boxes, are currently available nationwide.

"On the heels of an excellent holiday selling season, we had a very strong first quarter at retail, increasing our share of satellite radio retail aftermarket sales to approximately 41% at the end of February, according to market information company The NPD Group.

"With 94% reporting strong satisfaction, our customers are telling us that SIRIUS is a service they can`t live without. These high satisfaction ratings coupled with our increased awareness and availability bode very well for SIRIUS` future."

Recently, exclusive automotive partner DaimlerChrysler announced an extensive factory installation program for SIRIUS beginning with eleven Model Year 2005 vehicle lines.

SIRIUS is already offered today as a factory or dealer installed option on 50 different vehicle models from DaimlerChrysler, Ford, BMW, Nissan, Infiniti and Audi. In 2004, SIRIUS expects to be available on over 80 vehicle models from these partners, with 50 of these being factory installation programs.

FIRST QUARTER 2004 VERSUS FIRST QUARTER 2003

For the first quarter of 2004, SIRIUS recognized total revenue of $9.3 million, compared to $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2003. SIRIUS reported a loss from operations of $(119.5) million for the first quarter of 2004, compared to a loss from operations of $(99.1) million for the first quarter of 2003. Adjusted loss from operations for the quarter was $(78.0) million compared to adjusted loss from operations of $(74.5) million for the first quarter of 2003 (refer to reconciliation table of loss from operations to adjusted loss from operations).

SIRIUS reported a net loss applicable to common stockholders of $(146.4) million, or $(0.12) per share, for the first quarter of 2004, compared with net income applicable to common stockholders of $51.9 million, or $0.16 per share, for the first quarter of 2003. Included in net income applicable to common stockholders for the first quarter of 2003 was a $256.5 million gain in connection with the elimination of approximately 91% of the company`s then outstanding debt and a deemed dividend of $79.5 million associated with the elimination of 100% of its convertible preferred stock.

For the first quarter of 2004, average monthly revenue per subscriber, or ARPU, was $9.92. Excluding the effects of mail-in rebate programs, ARPU for the first quarter of 2004 was $11.06.

SIRIUS maintains a strong cash position, ending the first quarter with $707 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. During the first quarter of 2004, SIRIUS raised $300 million of gross proceeds through an offering of 21/2% Convertible Notes. Further, during the quarter, holders of the company`s 31/2% Convertible Notes converted to 56.4 million shares of common stock, eliminating $69 million of SIRIUS` long-term debt.

Cash flow from operating activities for the quarter was $(71.9) million compared to cash flow from operating activities of $(71.1) million for the first quarter of 2003.

(Selected financial information follows).
SIRIUS defines adjusted loss from operations as loss from operations before depreciation expense, non-cash stock compensation expense, and expense for equity securities granted to third parties. Adjusted loss from operations is not a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. SIRIUS believes adjusted loss from operations is useful to investors because it represents operating expenses of the company excluding the effects of non-cash items. Because adjusted loss from operations is not a measurement determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, adjusted loss from operations as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

UPDATE - Sirius posts loss and adds clients, but stock dips
Wednesday April 21, 11:03 am ET


(recasts throughout, adds analyst comment)
NEW YORK, April 21 (Reuters) - Satellite radio operator Sirius Satellite Radio (NasdaqNM:SIRI - News) posted a first-quarter loss on Wednesday, but said its subscriber base grew 35 percent in the quarter, showing continued growth in the fledgling industry.



Still that subscriber growth wasn`t enough for some investors who sent the company`s shares down 5 percent in morning trading.

Sirius added 90,902 subscribers in the quarter, which met some analyst forecasts, but fell short of others who believed the company could well exceed 100,000 new subscribers in the wake of competitor XM Satellite Radio`s robust first-quarter gains.

"Given the size of XM`s blowout quarter, investors will likely be disappointed that Sirius did not have a similar upside to original estimates," said Kit Spring, analyst at Stifel, Nicolaus & Co.

"It was above my estimate of 82,000, but below the whisper number which was above 100,000," Spring said.

New York-based Sirius posted a net loss of $142 million, or 12 cents a share, compared to a net profit of $51.9 million or 16 cents a share in the same period last year.

The figure from the year-earlier quarter included a $256.5 million gain in connection with the elimination of debt and a deemed dividend of $79.5 million associated with the elimination of all its convertible preferred stock.

Analysts expected a loss of 10 cents a share in the current-year quarter, according to Reuters Research, a unit of Reuters Group, Plc.

Sirius total subscriber roles grew to 351,663, with average revenue per subscriber of $9.92 per month, the company said.

Sirius confirmed they would meet their estimate of 1 million subscribers in 2004, but some had expected Sirius to start stronger in pursuit of that goal.

SG Cowen analyst Tom Watts predicted 123,000 additions for the quarter, but said in a research note that a "blow-out" result of 160,000 additions "would not be totally unexpected."

Competitor XM Satellite Radio, which has operated a full year longer than Sirius, added 320,000 subscribers in the last quarter.

Sirius recognized total revenues of $9.3 million, short of an analyst estimate of $12.3 million, according to Reuters Research. In the same year-earlier quarter Sirius brought in $1.6 million in revenues.

Sirius shares fell 21 cents to $3.59 in early trading on the Nasdaq exchange.

Damit wurden die durchschnittlichen Schätzungen der Analysten, die von einem Nettoverlust von 10 cents je Aktie ausgegangen waren, verfehlt.

Sirius Satellite Radio Retail Market Share Increases In March
Friday April 30, 8:30 am ET
Data From The NPD Group Shows Sirius` Market Share at Retail Rose to 44 Percent in March


NEW YORK, April 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SIRIUS Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI - News), known for delivering the very best in commercial-free music and premium sports programming to cars, homes and boats across the country, today announced that its retail market share rose to 44 percent in March, according to data compiled by market information company The NPD Group.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19991118/NYTH125 )
According to the data, during March over 32,000 SIRIUS satellite radios were sold in mobile electronics retail stores, a 110 percent increase in sales from the same month last year, and a 38 percent increase over sales figures for February of this year.

"We continue to be very pleased with our progress in the retail marketplace," said Joseph P. Clayton, President and CEO of SIRIUS. "More people are hearing about the benefits of satellite radio, and more are choosing SIRIUS because of our premium programming. In addition to our 100 percent commercial-free music, we offer a vast selection of news, information and entertainment, including the best play-by-play sports coverage in satellite radio with the NBA, NHL and NFL. This comprehensive SIRIUS entertainment programming is making a strong impression on consumers around the country, and is a very positive indicator of our expected growth this year."

SIRIUS continues to make inroads into the automotive market with more factory and dealer installation programs from its exclusive partners, DaimlerChrysler, Ford, BMW, Lincoln-Mercury, Mazda and Mercedes-Benz, and other car manufacturers such as Audi, Infiniti, Nissan and Volkswagen.

Earlier this month, DaimlerChrysler announced that SIRIUS would be available as a factory-installed option on eleven 2005 model year vehicle lines this year.

SIRIUS also continues to benefit from its strong cash position, having ended the first quarter of 2004 with over $700 million in cash and very low debt.

Beginning in late May, SIRIUS music will be available to a majority of the nine million subscribers of EchoStar`s DISH Network satellite television service.

Wal-Mart will also be getting SIRIUS in May, when they will be offering a SIRIUS portable Plug & Play product and Boombox.

Later this summer, SIRIUS will be available in the seven thousand RadioShack stores across the country, in time for the beginning of the NFL season, which will be broadcast on SIRIUS, as part of its far-reaching agreement with the NFL.

SIRIUS Satellite Radio Now Available as Factory Installed Option on All-New 2005 Chrysler 300 and Dodge Magnum Vehicles
Monday May 3, 10:59 am ET
New lower MSRP of $195 Includes One-Year Subscription


NEW YORK, May 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SIRIUS Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI - News), known for delivering the very best in commercial-free music and premium broadcast entertainment to cars and homes across the country, today announced that the Chrysler Group`s all-new 2005 Chrysler 300 and Dodge Magnum, will feature SIRIUS Satellite Radio as a factory-installed option, with an included one-year subscription, for $195 Manufacturer`s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP).
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19991118/NYTH125 )
"This is very exciting for SIRIUS, and marks the first of our 2005 model year factory launches with Chrysler Group," said Doug Wilsterman, Senior Vice President of OEM Automotive for SIRIUS. "We are extremely pleased to participate in Chrysler Group`s 2005 model year product offensive, and we believe that customers will recognize Chrysler`s $195 pricing of the SIRIUS option as an industry standard and compelling value proposition."

The Chrysler 300`s striking new proportions combine classic American design and power with proven DaimlerChrysler technology. Marking the brand`s return to a rear-wheel-drive, V-8 powered automobile for the first time in more than a decade, the Chrysler 300 pays homage, albeit in a very contemporary way, to the first "letter series" Chrysler 300s, which combined performance and prestige like no other vehicle at the time.

The Dodge Magnum is the new shape of American muscle, celebrating what American muscle cars were in the past, but with a design and packaging configuration that charges into the future. This category of vehicle offers the right formula of proportions, packaging, performance and appearance that set them far apart from the competition.

"The Chrysler Group is pleased to offer such a competitively priced entertainment package that will enhance our customers driving experience," said Jack Withrow, Director of Vehicle Entertainment and Communications for the Chrysler Group.

All Chrysler 300 and Dodge Magnum customers will be able to order SIRIUS as a factory-installed option for $195, including a one-year subscription with access to SIRIUS` over 60 commercial-free music channels and more than 50 news, sports, entertainment, traffic and weather channels. As an additional benefit offered exclusively to Chrysler customers, there is no activation fee to initiate the service after vehicle delivery. Customers also may stream SIRIUS music programming over a high-speed internet connection at their homes or offices at no additional charge.

Consumers selecting the SIRIUS Satellite Radio option in their Chrysler 300 or Dodge Magnum will receive a small, mouse-like antenna mounted to the roof of the vehicle. Station selection with the radio is easy, using the same familiar method as selecting an AM or FM station. Consumers will be able to scan channels or select pre-set buttons for their favorite channels. Consumers will also be able to search both by music category and channel, which will be displayed on the radio screen.

[seinfeld]

Hi Candlebougie ... schön daß Du hier die Stellung gehalten hast ...

Viel Neues gab es ja in der Zwischenzeit nicht zu berichten und der Kurs ging auch Richtung Süden, aber das traf ja wohl für die meisten Aktien in den letzten 14 Tagen zu.

Hier noch ´ne Meldung vom 6. Mai:

NEW YORK, May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SIRIUS Satellite Radio , known for delivering the very best in commercial-free music and premium sports programming to cars and homes across the country, today announced that it has appointed Scott Greenstein as President, Entertainment and Sports, and James E. Meyer as President, Operations and Sales. Both executives will report to Joseph P. Clayton, Chief Executive Officer of SIRIUS.

Greenstein, who brings entertainment industry experience to SIRIUS, has been a consultant to the company on the recent NFL and Penske agreements, as well as other entertainment and sports transactions. He will oversee all programming, marketing and corporate marketing for the nationwide satellite radio broadcaster. Meyer, who also has served as a consultant to SIRIUS, will be responsible for overseeing and directing all operations and sales, including its automotive OEM business, retail markets, product management, strategic partners, engineering functions, and geographical expansion.

"One of the major challenges for a company like SIRIUS in today``s complex and ever-changing environment is to bring together entertainment and technology for the benefit of consumers. Scott Greenstein and Jim Meyer bring a breadth of knowledge, core competencies, and experience that will help us meet this challenge, and take us to the next level of our development," said Joseph P. Clayton, Chief Executive Officer of SIRIUS. "With his extensive background and numerous accomplishments in the entertainment field, Scott will bring a new dimension to our programming and corporate marketing strategies, and will help develop future content that will continue to set us apart from the competition. Jim``s experience in consumer electronics sales, marketing, product management, manufacturing, content and engineering makes him uniquely qualified for this sales and operations position. They will play vital roles in enhancing stockholder value and helping to secure the long-term success of SIRIUS."

"The promise of SIRIUS goes well beyond commercial-free radio. Satellite technology, as many television viewers already know, affords audiences great access, flexibility and precision in programming their own personal entertainment preferences," said Greenstein. "I am fortunate to be in the position of putting SIRIUS programming in front of consumers, empowering them to select their own diverse choices from the best in music, sports, news, and information, and re-igniting America``s love affair with radio."

Scott Greenstein was named Chairman of USA Films, a motion picture production, marketing and distribution company, in 1999 where he oversaw all aspects of the company``s film activities and supervised its home entertainment business through USA Home Entertainment, which handled home video/DVD distribution for the NFL, NHL, NBA, and MLB. USA Films was a division of USA Networks, Inc., now known as InterActive Corp. Under Greenstein, USA Films`` first in-house supervised production to be released was Steven Soderbergh``s "Traffic," which earned many accolades and multiple nominations, including Best Picture nominations for the Golden Globe Awards and the Academy Awards. Traffic won four Academy Awards, including Best Director and Best Supporting Actor, and two Golden Globe Awards. The film earned $124 million domestically, becoming USA``s highest-grossing release. Other USA Films include: Gosford Park, Being John Malkovich, Nurse Betty, Monsoon Wedding and Far From Heaven.

Greenstein also served as Co-President of October Films, where he was instrumental in acquiring, marketing and releasing such critically acclaimed films such as "The Apostle," and the Academy Award-winning documentary, "The Last Days," which was executive produced by Steven Spielberg. Prior to joining October Films, Greenstein was Senior Vice President of Motion Pictures, Music, New Media and Publishing at Miramax Films where he executive produced Anthony Minghella``s "The English Patient," which won nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director.

Greenstein also served in senior management positions at Viacom International.

Prior to joining SIRIUS, James Meyer was President of Aegis Ventures, a general management consulting company. Before Aegis, Meyer held a number of senior management position in consumer electronics including, Senior Executive Vice President, Digital Media Solutions for Thomson, a worldwide leader in consumer electronics. In this position, he had full responsibility for Thomson``s Digital Media Solutions Business Unit, a global business serving the entertainment, broadcast and content industries, including such clients as Disney, Warner Brothers, Dreamworks, Microsoft, Direct TV, ABC and BBC.

He also served as Thomson``s Chief Operating Officer for the Americas and as Senior Vice President of Product Management, along with other senior management positions at Thomson, General Electric and RCA during his 25 years in consumer electronics. Meyer also serves on the boards of Gemstar-TV Guide, Mikohn Gaming Corporation, Escient Solutions and Equant.

"I believe that the potential of satellite radio -- and SIRIUS -- is enormous," said Meyer. "The combination of a strong management team, dedicated partners, innovative products and unequalled programming makes SIRIUS an easy choice for consumers, and I am excited to be part of something that will be historic in the annals of consumer electronics."

With over 60 channels of commercial-free music, we believe that SIRIUS has the depth and variety of programming to satisfy our customers."

In addition to providing DISH Network subscribers with music programming, participating DISH Network retailers around the country will have the ability to offer consumers a DISH Network-branded SIRIUS Satellite Radio receiver. The transportable DISH Network Satellite Radio Receiver SR200 can easily be installed in a car, truck, boat or RV, and can be inserted into a portable speaker "boombox" for trips to the beach or a picnic. The DISH SR200, plus car kit and antenna, will be available through DISH Network retailers at a MSRP price of $149.95. Boombox pricing will be announced at a later date.

NEW YORK, May 31 (New Ratings) - Analysts at Stifel Nicolaus maintain their "market outperform" rating on Sirius Satellite Radio (SIRI.NAS). The target price is set to $4.25.

Sirius Satellite Radio is a provider of satellite radio services in the United States.

According to Stifel Nicolaus’ research note dated May 12 and published on May 28, Sirius Satellite Radio announced that it has reached the 400k subscriber mark. The company`s new subscriber additions in April and May were lower than the March levels, the analysts say. The analysts expect the company to either meet or marginally miss the subscription estimate for Q2.

Sirius Satellite Radio`s share price is likely to witness downside pressure in the near term, give the company’s current sales trends, according to Stifel Nicolaus. However, the analysts believe that the company would benefit from the expected robust growth in the industry by the end of this decade. Given Sirius Satellite Radio`s market leadership in providing premium contents, the company’s stock is expected to perform well in the forthcoming quarters, the analysts add.

The EPS estimates for 2004 and 2005 are -$0.42 and -$0.34, respectively.

Stifel Nicolaus maintains its "market outperform" rating on Sirius Satellite Radio.

Viacom Moves Could Presage Radio Deals
Tuesday June 1, 10:09 pm ET
By Sue Zeidler


LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Major changes may be in store for the radio industry after Viacom Inc. Chief Executive Sumner Redstone`s announcement on Tuesday that he was considering various options for Infinity Radio, analysts said.
(...)
During months of high-profile disputes between Redstone and Karmazin, Howard Stern had threatened to leave Infinity if Karmazin, his long-time champion, walked out. But on Tuesday, Stern said he was bound by his contract. Analysts estimate Infinity takes in as much as $100 million in revenue from the Stern show.

One consultant on Tuesday cited rumors Viacom or Karmazin might make a run for a Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. as a way to keep such lucrative talent away from regulatory pressures.

"I`ve been hearing something may be going on with Sirius. With all the potential FCC handcuffs, broadcasters need to find a less restricted medium for its talent and there may be a play by Infinity to buy Sirius," said the consultant.

Sirius declined to comment.



Gleich zwei Gerüchte auf einmal: Howard Stern verlässt Infinity und Infinity kauft Sirius.... Na ja.

Angeblich soll außerdem schon fest stehen, dass Opie&Anthony (2 ShockJocks) einen Vertrag bei Sirius unterschrieben haben....

[seinfeld]

Ich liebe Gerüchte

[candlebougie]

zum thema gerüchte:

Sirius wird wohl nicht bei Toyota landen können.
Man beachte diesen Kommentar von XM bei der Deutsche Bank Securities Media Conference (Webcast: http://www.corporate-ir.net/ireye/confLobby.zhtml?ticker=XMS… ):

" We continue to wait for their announcement for them to go factory install for which we are working with them on the engineering status."

Ich würde ja an deiner Stelle so wie ich langsam zu XM umschwenken....

Okay, die aktuellen Nachrichten sprechen sicherlich eher
für XM, aber ich bleibe bei Sirius weiter am Ball



XM Satellite steigen nach Analysten-Kommentar

Die Titel von XM Satellite Radio konnten sich nach einem positiven Kommentar von J.P. Morgan heute deutlich verbessern.

Die Investmentbank hatte nach Gesprächen mit Führungskräften der beiden Radio-Programmanbieter XM und Sirius Satellite ausgeführt, dass XM dem Konkurrenten wieder einmal um Nasenlänge voraus sei. So sei es wahrscheinlich, dass XM bis Weihnachten einen tragbaren Satellitenradio anbieten könne, während Sirius bis ins kommende Jahr wohl nichts ähnliches anzubieten habe. Der Analyst legte weiter dar, dass man bei XM bis 2006 mit einem Kundenzuwachs von 40 Prozent rechnen dürfe, sofern man nur ein zehntel der Stückzahlen absetzen könne wie mit Apples mit seinem iPod.

XM Satellite Radio verbesserten sich heute an der Nasdaq um 6,02 Prozent auf 26,95 Dollar, Sirius Satellite konnten dagegen nur um 0,33 Prozent auf 3,08 Dollar zulegen.

SIRIUS Satellite Radio Begins Shipping `ORBITER` Plug and Play Receiver to RadioShack Stores

NEW YORK and FORT WORTH, Texas, June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SIRIUS Satellite Radio and RadioShack Corporation today announced the ORBITER Model SR4000 plug and play satellite radio receiver is now being shipped to RadioShack stores across the country. Orbiter will be the only satellite radio receiver offered by RadioShack, the nation``s most trusted consumer electronics specialty retailer, when it introduces Sirius satellite products and services at nearly 6,000 neighborhood stores in July.

"We are excited about the opportunity to offer our customers the very best satellite radio content and hardware available," said Don Carroll, senior vice president and chief marketing officer for RadioShack. "By partnering with SIRIUS, RadioShack is continuing to deliver on its reputation for introducing customers to innovative, leading-edge products while making it easy for them to buy and activate subscription-based services."

According to Carroll, RadioShack aligned with SIRIUS because of its stature as the premium satellite radio provider known for delivering the best in commercial-free music and sports programming. SIRIUS features more than 110 channels of music, news, sports, entertainment, and traffic, including over 60 channels of 100-percent commercial-free music, live play-by-play coverage of the NHL and, beginning this fall, the entire NFL season. Through July 17, 2004, the SIRIUS`` subscription rate is $9.99 a month with an annual subscription paid in advance.

"We value the opportunity to partner with RadioShack and to tap into their vast store retail network and 35,000 knowledgeable sales associates," said Bob Law, senior vice president, Retail Operations, SIRIUS. "Now, millions of RadioShack customers will be able to experience for themselves the pleasures of SIRIUS Satellite Radio``s 100-percent commercial-free music, strong news line-up and unequalled sports coverage, including the NFL."

The ORBITER receiver, which includes an infrared remote, is a transportable SIRIUS satellite radio that can be easily moved from a car to a truck, home, RV or boat. The receiver, which has an MSRP of $99.95, is compatible with mobile and home docking stations and a boombox. The mobile docking station (SM4000) and home docking station (SH4000) have an MSRP of $49.95 each. The optional boombox, allowing listeners to take SIRIUS everywhere they go, has an MSRP of $99.95.

The mobile and home docking kits and boombox provide customers the flexibility to install the unit in a variety of locations using just one SIRIUS subscription. Each kit includes an antenna and RCA audio connections. The mobile docking station features a wireless FM transmitter, which easily transmits the SIRIUS signal to an existing car radio. The boombox operates on AC power or batteries. The ORBITER receiver, mobile and home docking stations and boombox will be available at RadioShack stores, http://www.radioshack.com/ or by calling 1-888-MY SIRIUS.

Features of the ORBITER receiver include 30 presets, music title and artist scan, multiple search and display modes, three different font/display styles, adjustable audio output level and a clock. A 6-line display features channel number, channel name, category, artist name, song title and time. The receiver also includes the very popular "S-Seek," which prompts users when one of their pre-selected favorite songs is playing anywhere on SIRIUS and lets them switch to it at the touch of a button. Finally, ORBITER features Program Alert, which prompts listeners when favorite programs are playing on other channels.

Eminem, Shady Records, Interscope and SIRIUS Satellite Radio to Launch Exclusive Radio Channel
Monday July 12, 7:01 am ET
Groundbreaking Channel to be Executive Produced by Eminem and Record Executives Jimmy Iovine and Paul Rosenberg


NEW YORK, July 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SIRIUS (Nasdaq: SIRI - News), the premium satellite radio provider known for delivering the very best in commercial-free music and sports programming to cars and homes across the country, today announced a partnership with multi-platinum recording artist Eminem, Shady Records and Interscope Records to create a cutting-edge hip-hop music and lifestyle channel exclusively for SIRIUS Satellite Radio.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19991118/NYTH125 )
The new channel will feature music from across the hip-hop landscape along with programming specially created by leading artists and DJs. A weekly show by Eminem`s DJ Green Lantern will spotlight the freshest mixes, while specialty shows hosted by Eminem and acts from the Shady Records roster will offer fans the opportunity to talk directly to their favorite artists. The channel is on tap to debut this fall and will be included with every SIRIUS subscription at no extra charge.

Eminem, Interscope Records Chairman Jimmy Iovine and Shady Records Vice President/Eminem manager Paul Rosenberg will serve as co-executive producers of the channel.

Eminem has been described as "the biggest star in the music world" by The Wall Street Journal and "the most compelling music icon of his generation" by the San Francisco Chronicle. Under Eminem and Rosenberg, Shady Records has quickly grown into one of the leading labels in urban music, featuring gold and platinum artists including 50 Cent, D-12, Obie Trice and Stat Quo, as well as the multi-platinum soundtrack to the film 8 Mile.

"Once upon a time not too long ago, the feds wanted all my music off the air," Eminem said. "Now we`ll be on SIRIUS 24 hours a day, playing the best hip-hop ... not just from Shady Records, but from everywhere. We`ll deliver an uncut hip-hop radio station like never before. I can`t wait to start dropping new material, exclusive tracks and uncensored hip-hop featuring me and everyone else, freely saying whatever the hell we want."

"Few artists in the history of music have had the kind of performance, songwriting and producing impact that Eminem has," said Scott Greenstein, SIRIUS President of Entertainment and Sports. "This is a perfect example of artistic and commercial forces coming together to create something truly unique, and we`re proud to launch yet another innovative new channel for SIRIUS subscribers."

Paul Rosenberg, Eminem`s manager and VP of Shady Records, remarked: "Our partnership with SIRIUS gives us the unique opportunity for nationwide exposure of our new and existing artist roster. While our channel will not be solely limited to Shady artists, we plan on delivering exclusive, obscure and/or hard to find music from our acts. Also, the channel will give fans further access into our world with live show broadcasts, unique remote interviews and on-air artist segments. We are thrilled to be the first nationwide label-driven 24-hour music radio station."

"Eminem and Paul Rosenberg have the insight to see the value in building a direct connection to their audience," said Iovine. "These guys are two of the most innovative people in our industry and what they develop with SIRIUS will influence the future of our business and the way artists and labels connect with their fans. This is the new music business at work, and once again, Shady is at the forefront."

[seinfeld]

Na, dann kann ja nichts mehr schiefgehen

Candlebougie, was meinst Du?? Wo siehst Du den Boden für Sirius??
Geht es noch auf 2,50 bis 2,60 USD runter??
Charttechnisch muß man das wohl in Betracht ziehen ...

Gruß Seinfeld

[candlebougie]

hmm, kommt wohl ganz auf die markstimmmung an - die news in den letzten tagen und wochen waren zugegebenermaßen gar nicht schlecht, und trotzdem fällt der kurs.

wahrscheinlich spielt die angst vor den zahlen anfang august eine rolle - SIRIUS hat die 500.000er Marke vielleicht noch nicht erreicht ....

sollte es auf 2.50 zugehen, werde ich meine postion auch wieder aufstocken. SIRI ist dann zwar immer noch nicht billig, hat aber dann wieder kursphantasie

ende des dritten Quartals sollte man aber wirklich in beiden werten investiert sein - einfach aufgrund der "weihnachtsgeschäft"-phantasie!!!

Huch ... jetzt geht´s aber bedenklich runter

Das Du aber langsam wieder einsteigst, macht mir dann doch wieder ein bißchen Mut

... und das Hoffen auf bessere Zahlen übermorgen ...

... andererseits ... vielleicht wissen da ja schon einige wieder mehr

Gruß Seinfeld

[seinfeld]

Candlebougie, rechnest Du mit soooo schlechten Zahlen wie sie der Kurs suggeriert???

Lieber erst die Zahlen abwarten bevor man sich zu einem Einstieg/Nachkauf durchringt???

Fragen über Fragen

Muß zugeben, daß ich das erste Mal bei Sirius etwas unsicher werde

[candlebougie]

es ist schlecht abzuschätzen,wie die zahlen ausfallen werden.

- die nutzerzahlen sind ja quasi schon bekannt (ca 465k)

- beim ergebnis kommt es darauf an, wieviele rabatte etc. SIRIUS pro neukunden aufwenden musste


ich kann mir persönlich nicht vorstellen, dass der kurs deutlich unter 2$ fällt - der markt erwartet schlechte news, die jetzt schon eingepreist werden - es macht wohl keinen unterschied, ob du jetzt oder erst nach den zahlen kaufst (DANACH bist natürlich auf der sichereren Seite)

für den weiteren kursverlauf ist für mich entscheidend, ob es SIRIUS gelingt, weitere OEMs an Bord zu holen (mit "factory-installs"-optionen) - bei XM machen diese annährend 50% der neukunden aus.

gleichzeitig muss das management ihre SAC und CPGA-Werte runterfahren.... derzeit astronomisch hoch (SAC über 200 Dollar pro neuabonnent).

da ich zumindest bei den OEMs einigermaßen zuversichtlich bin, steige ich langsam wieder ein... die position bleibt aber trotzdem weit unter der meiner in

[candlebougie]

hmm, gar nicht schlecht, der heutige tag

Es geht doch ... geschlossen auf Tageshoch

Gibt´s morgen bei den Zahlen doch eine positive Überraschung

Cash flow from operating activities for the quarter was $(64.8) million compared to cash flow from operating activities of $(64.6) million for the second quarter of 2003.

(Selected financial information follows).
SIRIUS defines adjusted loss from operations as loss from operations before depreciation expense, non-cash stock compensation expense, and expense for equity securities granted to third parties. Adjusted loss from operations is not a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. SIRIUS believes adjusted loss from operations is useful to investors because it represents operating expenses of the company excluding the effects of non-cash items. Because adjusted loss from operations is not a measurement determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, adjusted loss from operations as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

SIRIUS defines average monthly revenue per subscriber, or ARPU, as the total earned subscription revenue and activation revenue during the period, over the daily weighted average number of subscribers for the period. ARPU is not a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

SIRIUS defines subscriber acquisition costs, or SAC, as costs of incentives for the purchase, installation, and activation of SIRIUS radios, as well as subsidies paid to radio and chipset manufacturers, automakers and retailers and the negative margin on equipment sales. SAC is not a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

FinanzNachrichten.de, 21.07.2004 16:43:00

Sirius Satellite Radio verzeichnet höheren Verlust


Die Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. hat am Mittwoch erklärt, dass sich der Verlust im zweiten Quartal ausgedehnt hat. Dies ist auf höhere Marketingausgaben und andere Kosten für die Kundengewinnung zurückzuführen.

Unternehmensangaben zufolge hat der Fehlbetrag bei 136,8 Mio. Dollar bzw. 11 Cents je Aktie gelegen. Im Vorjahr hatte er noch 111,8 Mio. Dollar bzw. 12 Cents je Aktie betragen. Die Verringerung des Stückverlusts kam durch einen 33-prozentigen Anstieg der Aktienzahl zustande. Analysten waren von einem Fehlbetrag von 10 Cents ausgegangen und erwarten, dass er im nächsten Quartal den gleichen Wert aufweisen wird.

Der Umsatz wurde um 537,7 Prozent von 2,07 Mio. Dollar auf 13,2 Mio. Dollar gesteigert und stimmt damit mit den Marktprognosen überein. Im nächsten Quartal wird er bei 18,37 Mio. Dollar gesehen. Außerdem hat das Unternehmen mitgeteilt, dass man die Teilnehmerzahl um 37 Prozent auf 480.341 erhöhen konnte.

Aktuell wird die Aktie an der NYSE mit einem Plus von 4,6 Prozent bei 2,73 Euro gehandelt.

Digital Music Takes on Radio

By Dave Marino-Nachison
July 22, 2004

A piece in yesterday`s New York Post frames the current state of the music business in a useful way: John Mainelli`s article paints a picture of a marketplace that is not, as is often said, a battle between new (digital) and entrenched (recorded) media interests but rather between portable digital and entrenched radio interests. This hasn`t been the media`s main music tune of the last few years, but it`s an important one nonetheless.

Though there isn`t a ton of meat in the article, it raises an interesting point: Mainelli ties the proliferation of portable hard-drive DJ machines such as Apple`s (Nasdaq: AAPL) iPod and others from the likes of Dell (Nasdaq: DELL), Sony (NYSE: SNE), and Creative Labs as having a substantial impact in "The Case of the Falling Radio Listener Numbers." (The news that Clear Channel (NYSE: CCU) is cutting ad airtime is as clear a sign as any that industry execs are concerned.)

Whatever mobile digital music`s actual numerical impact, it`s not hard to see there`s something to this theory. Radio -- in recent decades, anyway -- has been an easy way for listeners to take their personal musical tastes with them wherever they go. The iPod and other machines, however -- with their massive hard drives and song libraries in the thousands -- are now increasingly moving in on that turf. They`ve eliminated commercials. And they`re cutting into DJ airtime, which depending on your opinion of DJs is either a very good or a very bad thing. (Well, it can`t be good for the DJs.)

And falling somewhere in the middle of all this is the satellite radio provided by XM (Nasdaq: XMSR) and Sirius (Nasdaq: SIRI), which cuts out ads, offers DJs commentary and talk content and, in my opinion, is a quality product for car and home -- though I`m not sure I needed to hear Stars` cover of "This Charming Man" or Air`s "Surfing on a Rocket" so many times in my rental car this past weekend.

It wasn`t too many years ago that the Web seemed to hold substantial promise as a distribution medium for traditional broadcasters. And I`m a fan of several online radio stations, so I`m certain there`s value there. But I`m even more certain that even as the "new" music business shows signs of stabilization -- the peace accords the record labels have struck with the digital distributors come to mind -- we`ve yet to see things truly shake out, leaving investors to ponder a continually uncertain future.

In the end, it seems unlikely that any service that can`t or won`t serve customers on customer terms has a limited long-term future. The onus is currently on radio broadcasters to get creative.

Two-Time Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady and Emmy-Winning Broadcaster John Madden `Call the Plays` for SIRIUS Satellite Radio NFL Ad Campaign
Monday August 2, 8:30 am ET
Campaign Breaks August 2 to Promote NFL Sunday Drive, SIRIUS` Comprehensive Play-by-Play Package


NEW YORK, Aug. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Super Bowl MVP quarterback Tom Brady of the New England Patriots is teaming up with 14-time EMMY Award- winning football analyst John Madden in a new ad campaign for SIRIUS Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI - News), the Official Satellite Radio Partner of the NFL. The campaign will officially debut on August 2.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19991118/NYTH125 )
The SIRIUS NFL Sunday Drive campaign, including television, radio and print ads will run on a variety of NFL and sports media all the way through the post-season. The humorous television spot, titled "Breaking News," features Brady in his car showing off his SIRIUS receiver to Madden. Brady`s real-life wide receivers, Deion Branch, Troy Brown and David Givens appear in the spot, bewildered at Madden`s "breaking news" that a SIRIUS Satellite Radio is Brady`s "new favorite receiver."

The ad campaign promotes SIRIUS NFL Sunday Drive, the new programming package that lets subscribers choose from a full slate of live radio game broadcasts from around the NFL each Sunday. SIRIUS NFL Sunday Drive complements SIRIUS NFL Radio -- the only 24/7/365 channel dedicated exclusively to pro football -- launching on August 2.

"This campaign will highlight SIRIUS` unique ability to broadcast the entire NFL every week through SIRIUS NFL Sunday Drive, as well as show the ease and flexibility of satellite radio." said Mary Pat Ryan, Executive Vice President of Marketing, SIRIUS. "And, what better way to communicate those messages than by using two of the most well-known and respected guys in the NFL, with Tom Brady and John Madden."

Scott Greenstein, SIRIUS President of Entertainment and Sports said, "In order to provide our customers with a unique listening experience, our mission at SIRIUS is to connect the best brands with the most compelling radio content. In the sports world, there is no better brand than the NFL, and the NFL on SIRIUS will be the most unique football programming available on radio. We`re honored to have Tom Brady and John Madden representing the marketing of this exciting new content on SIRIUS."

SIRIUS NFL Sunday Drive SIRIUS customers will receive at no additional cost over the monthly subscription price of $12.95, or less when purchased on an annual plan. SIRIUS systems that can be used in both the car and home are available for $149 at electronics retailers across America including Best Buy, Circuit City, and RadioShack.

Olympic Athlete Kerri Walsh to Provide Reports From Athens for SIRIUS Satellite Radio
Friday August 13, 10:00 am ET
Beach Volleyball Champion Joins Tony Hawk and Kelly Slater as Third Celebrity Athlete on SIRIUS Faction Sports & Music Channel


NEW YORK, Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SIRIUS (Nasdaq: SIRI - News), the premium satellite radio provider, known for delivering the very best in commercial-free music and sports programming to cars and homes across the country, announced today that champion beach volleyball player Kerri Walsh, who is competing for the U.S. in the 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens, Greece, will provide exclusive reports from the games for SIRIUS Satellite Radio.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19991118/NYTH125 )
The "behind-the-scenes" reports will be heard on commercial-free SIRIUS music channel Faction. Following the Olympics, Walsh will become a regular on Faction, joining star athletes Tony Hawk and Kelly Slater, who have their own shows on the innovative music channel created especially for action sports enthusiasts.

Walsh rocketed to the No. 1 ranking in the world in competition on the 2003 AVP and FIVB tours and now seeks Olympic gold in Athens with her partner, Misty May. Walsh and May set a world record this year with their 89th consecutive match victory and were the 2003 World Champions. Walsh was named the AVP`s Most Valuable Player and Best Offensive Player in 2003.

In a July, 2004 New York Times article, beach volleyball legend Karch Kiraly stated that Walsh is considered by many to be the finest female player in beach volleyball history - even more impressive considering that Walsh has competed in outdoor volleyball for just three years. Walsh is also recognized by many Americans from the VISA television spots she appeared in which first aired during the 2004 Super Bowl.

"Rather than keeping a diary or blog like other athletes, I have the unique opportunity to share my Olympic experiences on SIRIUS Faction," said Walsh. "The competition, life in the Olympic village and everything else going on in Athens ... it`s all very exciting and it will only be on SIRIUS!"

Scott Greenstein, SIRIUS President of Entertainment and Sports said, "In a very short period, Kerri Walsh has emerged as the top female volleyball player and Olympic contender, inspiring young women who strive to become action and outdoor athletes. Kerri`s Olympic reporting will be consistent with Faction`s unique vision for delivering great music and lifestyle programming for action sports fans. We look forward to Kerri bringing the same spirit to Faction this fall."

Over the next few months, SIRIUS will announce additional star athletes who will join Faction`s on-air team.

SkyWaves Research Report Releases New Satellite Radio Growth Estimates
Monday September 27, 8:00 am ET


ANN ARBOR, MI--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep 27, 2004 -- SkyWaves Research Report, an Ann Arbor, Mich.-based research publication covering the satellite radio industry, reported Monday that satellite radio subscriptions are poised for spectacular growth as the holiday selling season approaches.


In its fall edition, SkyWaves Research released findings of its quarterly channel checks and sales estimates, and it published its annual analysis of current and future relationships between satellite radio broadcasters and automobile manufacturers. Taken together, these studies portray an industry that will report vigorous growth in quarterly and year-end subscribers -- and is likely to enjoy long-term growth that is still underestimated by many observers.

"Our studies illustrate the enormous potential for accelerating subscriber gains," said Steve Black, a SkyWaves Research writer. "Among other things, we see three to four million new vehicles equipped with satellite radios annually and continually, beginning in the 2006 model year."

Based on its extensive channel checks and additional analysis, SkyWaves Research estimated that XM Satellite Radio (NasdaqNM:XMSR - News) would reach a year-end total of 3.32 million to 3.37 million subscribers, substantially above the company`s conservative guidance. SkyWaves Research also estimated that Sirius Satellite Radio would reach a year-end total of 955,000 to 980,000 subscribers, and that it could reach its year-end goal of 1 million subscribers .

The conclusions, plus third-quarter subscriber trends and forecasts, were included in the latest, 52-page edition of SkyWaves Research, which brings its readers important information, in-depth analysis and interviews that are not available elsewhere.

This edition also features a breakthrough report and analysis of the data-delivery capabilities of satellite radio broadcasters, which represent an underappreciated additional source of revenue. "It is time to stop thinking about satellite radio as a music delivery service," Black said. "It is time to start thinking about it as a service that delivers data in the form of ones and zeros, some of which happen to produce music."

At the same time, SkyWaves Research is proud to announce an expanded lineup of services to its subscribers. This includes the recent introduction of the SkyWaves Research Weekly News Summary (a weekly roundup of satellite radio developments and commentary, emailed to subscribers each Friday evening) and an ambitious program of Flash Emails that feature instant updates and breaking news.

A preview of the latest quarterly report is available at this website link, http://www.skywavesresearch.com/pages/6/index.htm

Full details can be acquired through this website link, http://www.skywavesresearch.com/pages/4/index.htm

BOA comments:

• Restatement of 1 million subs for the end of 2004 (with help of Christmas)
• 25 NCAA teams v. 23 Teams (mentioned by Frear)
• Sirius having another record quarter in terms of subscription activations
• 7 additional OEM programs to be announced
• Ford has a list of MY ’06 cars and trucks to announce (Sirius knows what’s on the list, but is waiting on Ford to announce)

Sirius Stock Higher on Products, Upgrade
Wednesday September 29, 6:01 pm ET
By Joe Bel Bruno, AP Business Writer


NEW YORK (AP) -- Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. closed up 14 percent Wednesday following an analyst upgrade, news of a new Sirius satellite radio by Sanyo in Wal-Mart stores, and plans to launch new products.

The company`s shares rose after Bear Stearns upgraded the stock to "Outperform" from "Peer Perform" and issued an optimistic report about pending new products from the company. The second-largest U.S. satellite radio provider plans to introduce eight receivers at a New York City event that it hopes will generate enough sales to push subscribers past 1 million. The company recently said it had more than 600,000 subscribers.

The investment bank said the receivers might be the technological break the firm needs to shore-up its rivalry against XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. -- even if it remains No. 2. XM currently has more than 2.1 million subscribers in the United States.

"Satellite radio has been one of the shining stars over the last 12 months and doesn`t show any signs of slowing down," said Bear Stearns analyst Robert Peck in the report. "We think investors should think of Sirius as Pepsi in this duopoly and not Betamax."

Even as the secondary brand, Peck said he sees the company capturing 40 percent of the market and coexisting much like PepsiCo Inc. does with Coca-Cola Co.

Included in the company`s new technology is its Sirius Sportster model that will retail for $150 -- a price Sirius executives hope will increase its subscribers.

The company also got a boost after Sanyo said it would sell its Sirius receiver at Wal-Mart Stores Inc. that will retail for $149.99. The product is the first plug and play system that will include home and car kits in the same package, Sirius said.

The report from Bear Stearns said the company doesn`t really need to top XM. Technology making Sirius` programming more accessible should keep the company viable in the long-haul.

Sirius has been adding more sports coverage to its menu of programs, including live broadcasts of college football games. The company also signed a seven-year contract with the National Football League, paying $188 million in cash and some $23 million in stock to get exclusive rights to broadcast games.

Shares of Sirius rose 4 cents to $3.06 in after-hours trading after closing up 37 cents at $3.02, off its 52-week high of $4.20 from January. Bear Stearns said it believes the company`s shares should be trading at about $4.40 next year.

XM Satellite Radio shares finished at $30.30, up 16 cents, or less than 1 percent on the Nasdaq.

"SIRIUS takes pride in providing assistance to those in need following the recent hurricanes," said Joseph P. Clayton, Chief Executive Officer, SIRIUS. "Residents in many parts of the South have been devastated by the hurricanes, and we feel it is important to help those without power stay in touch with the latest news and information when local news sources are not available."

"During the last three storms, cable television went out every time. But, now with the SIRIUS radios we will be able to have updates for victims that are calling, as well as information for the shelters," said Eric Holm, Polk and Highland Red Cross Chapter Response Director.

SIRIUS will ship satellite receivers and boomboxes to Red Cross locations in Southwest Florida, Tampa Bay, Panama City, Pensacola and Polk County, Florida.

Howard Stern and SIRIUS Announce the Most Important Deal in Radio History
Wednesday October 6, 8:37 am ET
Radio Innovator Signs Five-Year Agreement to Broadcast on SIRIUS Beginning in 2006
Landmark Deal for SIRIUS and Satellite Radio Industry, With Significant Potential to Accelerate Growth for SIRIUS


NEW YORK, Oct. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- "King of All Media" Howard Stern and SIRIUS (Nasdaq: SIRI - News) announced today an epic agreement whereby Stern will move to SIRIUS beginning January 1, 2006. SIRIUS is the premium satellite radio provider known for delivering the very best in commercial-free music and sports programming to cars and homes across the country.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19991118/NYTH125 )
The world-renowned Stern is credited with revolutionizing the talk radio format. He is the No. 1 national radio host among males 18-49 years of age and ranks No. 1 in many of the 46 major markets where his show is broadcast, including New York and Los Angeles.

"It has been my dream to have the top-rated show in radio since I was five years old," said Stern. "SIRIUS -- the future of radio -- will take this dream to a whole new level as I bring my fans my show my way. It will be the best radio they will ever hear."

Known for his extremely loyal fan base and for his unequalled ability to migrate fans to other media, Stern has embarked on numerous highly successful ventures over the years while maintaining dominant ratings in his demographic. Stern has written two best-selling books -- Private Parts, which was Simon & Schuster`s fastest-selling book ever, and Miss America, the fastest-selling book in publishing history. He later starred in the highly successful motion picture adaptation of Private Parts, orchestrated the fastest-selling soundtrack in motion picture history and starred in the most watched entertainment pay-per-view special of all time. "The Howard Stern Show" is E! Entertainment Television`s most successful show.

"Signing Howard Stern is, without a doubt, the most exciting and transformational event in the history of radio," said Joseph P. Clayton, CEO of SIRIUS. "He is an entertainment force of unprecedented recognition and popularity in the broadcast world, who is capable of changing the face of satellite radio and generating huge numbers of subscribers for SIRIUS."

"Howard is an incredible creative and comedic icon, and we are thrilled that he chose SIRIUS to broadcast what everyone believes will be the most exciting part of his career," said Scott Greenstein, SIRIUS President of Entertainment and Sports. "There is absolutely no one like Howard Stern, and I`m excited that, for the first time, his show will be heard across the entire country as it was always meant to be heard."

Greenstein negotiated the five-year, multi-million dollar agreement with Don Buchwald, who represents Stern.

Buchwald said: "An important new industry is being developed and Howard wants to be its leader. He is truly excited to be working with SIRIUS, which will not only provide a new and innovative platform for his broadcast talents, but will draw on his skills as a businessman. SIRIUS has offered Howard and his fans a great opportunity to be a part of something truly remarkable, and we look forward to a spectacular future."

Through SIRIUS` nationwide broadcast system, Stern will be heard in every market across the country. Moreover, Stern`s tremendous popularity among males 18-49 matches perfectly with SIRIUS` target demographic.

SIRIUS estimates that Stern only would need to generate approximately one million subscribers in order to cover the costs of the deal. Total production and operating costs for the Stern show, including compensation of the show cast and staff, overhead, construction costs for a dedicated studio, and a budget for the development of additional programming and marketing concepts, is estimated to be approximately $100 million per year.

"When you look at his enormous existing fan base, all we need is for Howard to bring in a small fraction of his weekly audience for this agreement to pay for itself," said Clayton. "Anyone who knows Howard, and who understands how loyal his fan base is, will not have a hard time seeing the incredible potential for growth that he will represent for SIRIUS. We are absolutely delighted that he will be joining our company, and we look forward to expanding the scope and diversity of SIRIUS programming with him."

Additional information regarding the agreement is available in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by SIRIUS with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

SIRIUS will host a conference call today at 9:15 am ET to brief analysts on the agreement. The audio portion of the call will be webcast at http://www.sirius.com.



weiteres Drittel werde ich wohl heute verkaufen

[Darkwave]

Auch wenn ich mich hier zum ersten mal melde, habe ich SIRI schon mehrfach gehalten, leider immer unglücklich verkauft, zuletzt in die steigenden Kurse hinein bei 3,20. Was jetzt passiert, ist ja der schlichte Wahnsinn. Da wird ein Deal mit einem Radiomoderator veröffentlicht, der einen Vertrag ab 01.01.2006 bei SIRI unterschrieben hat. Dazu kommen dann noch 100 Millionen $, die der gesamte Deal an Kosten verschlingt. Aber die werden ja schon durch 1 Million neue Subscriber gedeckt werden, die SIRI ja schon in diesem Jahr insgesamt erreichen will. Aber es sollte doch keine Problem sein, jedes Jahr mind. 1 Million neue Kunden zu gewinnen, oder? Auch wenn XMSR schon jetzt über 2,5 Millionen Subscriber verfügt, sollte das nicht weiter stören, denn XMSR schwächeld ja gerade, und wird deshalb vom Markt auch nur in etwa mit der SIRI Market Cap bewertet.
Versteht mich nicht falsch, ich gönne jedem seine Gewinne, aber für mich wird hier maßlos übertrieben. Maßlosigkeit ist überhaupt ein gutes Wort im Zusammenhang mit SIRI, aber das diese Aktie nicht normal ist, weiß wohl jeder, und es steht ja auch am Anfang dieses Threads.
Jedenfalls halte ich eine Korrektur für überfällig. Das 52-Week High erweist sich noch als unüberwindlich, darüber wäre die Bahn sicher frei, aber die Anleger werden schnell wieder zur Rationalität zurückkehren. Zwar zählt an der Börse generell nur das Morgen, aber deshalb gleich ein Kurssprung um 15% (in der Spitze sogar über 20%) zu rechtfertigen, weil in 14 Monaten mit einem Schub an neuen Subscribern zu rechnen sein wird - ist für mich vom Verstand her nicht zu begreifen.
Die Latte liegt höher denn je, ich bin gespannt, ob SIRI es darüber schaffen wird.

[seinfeld]

Heyyyy, schön auch mal wieder ein neues Gesicht zu sehen ...

... es gibt aber auch ´ne neue Empfehlung ...

Die Analysten von Fulcrum(???) setzen SIRI auf "BUY" mit einem Kursziel von 4,75 Dollar!!!

Mal schauen ... wenn Candlebougie sich langsam aber sicher von unserer Aktie trennt, sollte man wohl nicht mehr all zu lange warten Ähnliches zu tun ... schließlich habe ich auch schon mal zu lange gewartet

Gruß Seinfeld

[candlebougie]

hola. nett, ein neuen Anleger hier begrüßen zu dürfen!

Jetzt habe ich nur noch das letzten Drittel...

die Kosten für Howard Stern sind wirklich heftig - 100 Millionen pro Jahr!! Das heißt, SIRIUS muss pro Jahr eine Millionen Kunden gewinnen, nur um die Kosten für diesen Moderator zu tragen...

Allerdings hebt sich SIRIUS damit von XM ab, was unbedingt notwendig ist, um gegen XM zu bestehen. Aus meiner Sicht ein guter Deal, der allerdings, wie auch im Conference Call heute morgen angeklungen ist, eine Kapitalerhöhung nach sich ziehen wird. SIRIUS´ Cashpolster wird mit diesem Deal deutlich zusammenschmilzen.

aus meiner Sicht sind Kurse über 4,4-4,5$ unbedingt zum Verkauf zu nutzen....

...allerdings "juckt es mich in den Fingern" über Weihnachten und bis zur CES-Messe in den SATRAD-Werten investiert zu bleiben.... mal sehen

[seinfeld]

Tja, so langsam muß man den Markt sehr genau im Auge behalten ... es konnen jetzt auch sehr schnell Gewinnmitnahmen einsetzen und den Kurs wieder drücken ... aber irgendwie hoffe ich ja doch auf eine dauerhafte 4 vor dem Komma ... hmm, mal schauen

Sirius Satellite wirbt Top-Moderator an

Der Radio-Kanalanbieter Sirius Satellite hat heute bekannt gegeben, mit dem Moderator Howard Stern eine der bekanntesten Persönlichkeiten in der US-Radioszene gewonnen zu haben. Sterns Show war zuvor beim weitaus größeren Sender Infinity Broadcasting zu hören gewesen. Da Sirius Satellite bisher lediglich über 600.000 Abonnenten verfügt, wird die Show künftig auch nur eine weit geringere Reichweite haben. Branchenkenner gehen davon aus, dass Sirius für die Radio-Show jährlich rund 100 Millionen Dollar auf den Tisch blättern muss. Allein dafür bräuchte das Unternehmen weitere 1 Million Abonnenten.

Bei J.P. Morgan nimmt man für diese Art satellitenübertragenes Bezahl-Radio aber eine positive Grundhaltung ein. Die Investmentbank geht davon aus, dass Sirius Satellite und seine Konkurrenten bis 2010 rund 30 Prozent der US-Haushalte abdecken könnten.

Danke, das ihr mich so freundlich belgrüßt habt.

Wirklich komisch, das sich so wenig Anleger für diese heiße Aktie interessieren.

Heute immerhin fast 1/3 aller austehenden Aktien gehandelt. So viele Aktien von SIRI wurden Intraday noch nie gehandelt!!! Wobei noch zu beachten ist, das sich etwa 20% der Aktien bei Institutionellen befinden. After hour schon wieder über 3,90 $. Werde wohl mit einem Ausbruch über 4 $ spekulieren und den Wahnsinn kurzfristig mitmachen.

Ich weiß aber absolut nicht, wie man jetzt auf solche Kursziele kommen kann. Denn viel geändert hat sich doch nicht, zumindest in der kurzfristigen Perspekive. Selbst als 12-Monatskursziel halte ich das für ambitioniert. Allerdings wird das dem Kurs weiter Auftrieb geben.

Auf welcher Seite kann ich denn schnell sehen, wie hoch das aktuelle Short-Ratio ist? finance.yahoo.com hat nur ältere Daten. Wäre bestimmt ganz interessant zu sehen, wieviele Shortpositionen es jetzt in SIRI gibt. Kann mir gut vorstellen, das einige auf fallende Kurse spekulieren.

Associated Press
Update 1: Satellite Radio Pins Hopes on Women, Cars
10.08.2004, 08:45 PM

Shock jock Howard Stern`s move to Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. begins an association between a man who was happy to describe, in detail, Paris Hilton`s sex tape and the industrial giants of the auto industry.

Shocked? Don`t be. After all, every car show has its company-sponsored cleavage.

The audience for satellite radio is "the car-buying male public," said Scott Greenstein, president of entertainment and sports for Sirius radio.

Sirius and its larger competitor, XM Satellite Radio Inc., know they need men to embrace them if their business plans are to work, and the auto industry is more than happy to help.

Even though Sirius has lost more than $1 billion in the last five years and XM has lost $1.5 billion since 1992, they`ve attracted investments from most of the large auto makers.

Daimler-Chrysler Corp. has invested $100 million in Sirius. Honda Motor Co. has put about $50 million into XM while General Motors Corp. has invested $120 million and given XM a $250 million line of credit.

And that`s not all. There are other incentives: GM and Honda pay for the first three months XM subscriptions in some model cars, said Chance Patterson, an XM spokesman.

The Acura TL, Cadillac Escalade and Chevrolet Cobalt advertise XM radio availability. "You go to a dealership and XM has a visible presence there," Patterson said. "Most dealers have an XM kiosk with a radio and a lineup."

"How important is the car industry? Critical," he said. "Half of our subscribers come from the new car market."

Men are "the group most likely to be buying cars," said Sirius spokesman Jim Collins. "This is the group listening to all the sports programming, the group likely to spend a lot of time in their automobiles. That`s why the Stern agreement is so important and a watershed for us. It mirrors our target audience."

Stern, who said Wednesday that he would move to Sirius in 2005 as part of a $500 million deal, is such a natural fit for satellite radio that XM executives said they had negotiated with him too. Apparently, they decided his price was too high.

XM, the dominant player in satellite radio with 2.5 million subscribers to Sirius` 600,000, launched a show Monday by equally salacious shock jocks Opie and Anthony.

Satellite radio doesn`t lease the public airwaves, as traditional radio does, so it isn`t subject to the decency scrutiny and hefty fines from the Federal Communications Commission the shock jocks face on traditional radio.

XM charges listeners extra to hear The Playboy Channel, whose programs include "Judge Julie`s unique brand of justice on Sex Court."

Sirius hasn`t been shy, either.

In an ad the Advertising Women of New York voted "most sexist ad of the year," Sirius showed buxom "Baywatch" sex symbol Pamela Anderson washing a car by sliding across it in short-shorts and a wet tank top and buffing the chrome with her bottom.

Auto makers are betting satellite radio`s mix of content and marketing will convince customers to buy dedicated satellite radios, which usually cost $100 or more, and pay $9.95 to $12.95 a month to listen to them. There are stereo models for the home, wireless kits that can adapt a traditional radio to satellite and portable radios that can move from a car to a boombox mount.

Still, the 1 million GM cars sold with XM radios since the company started installing them three years ago are a fraction of the 17 million vehicles sold in the United States last year. XM predicts GM and Honda will make another 1.5 million cars this year equipped with XM radios.

Sirius, which entered the car market later than XM, is far behind. Only 112,000 cars had Sirius radios at the end of June.

Sales of satellite radios were heavily skewed toward male techno whizzes and audiophiles when the radios first rolled out, said Scott Tappan, the sales and marketing manager for XM Satellite Radio and GM subsidiary OnStar Corp. Now, "It`s still generally male, but we are seeing a whole lot more females."

To give listeners a chance to test drive the radios, Sirius has an agreement with the Hertz Corp. and XM has a deal with Avis Rent a Car, Inc. Avis has seen an increase in demand for its premium and luxury cars since XM radios became standard equipment in those categories, said Susan McGowan, an Avis spokeswoman. The company even includes references to XM in its national advertising campaign.

She said men love the NASCAR broadcasts, and 21 channels of regional weather and traffic and an emergency channel, which "had all kinds of road closures and evacuation information that wasn`t available elsewhere" during the Florida hurricanes.

Both XM and Sirius have more than 100 channels, and both offer channels focused exclusively on love songs, 60s music and classic soul.

But there`s also lots of testosterone-tinged programming, especially on underdog Sirius, which has spent millions on deals to air the National Football League, National Basketball Association and National Hockey League games.

It has a garage rock channel produced by Bruce Springsteen`s E Street Band guitarist "Little Steven" Van Zandt and is launching another produced by rap star Eminem and Jimmy Iovine, chairman of Interscope Records. Sportswriter Mitch Albom, football commentator John Madden and the men of the Orange County Chopper custom bike shop all have shows.

Then there`s the "Wiseguy Show," promoted as a celebration of "life, the arts and meatballs."

Das Gap zwischen ca. 3,25 und 3,70 Dollar scheint noch geschlossen werden zu müssen, bevor es dann wieder nordwärts gehen kann ... Quartalszahlen folgen am 27.

Viacom Getting Sirius?

By Rick Aristotle Munarriz (TMF Edible)
October 12, 2004

Is Howard Stern`s rowdy radio show becoming the next hot spot for stock trading tips? Last week he beat Sirius Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI) to the punch by announcing that the two would team up come 2006 to produce three channels of no-holds-barred content before Sirius could issue a press release to make it official.

Yet now some investors are dissecting comments that Stern made later, suggesting that his deal with Sirius didn`t necessarily mean an end to his relationship with his friends at Viacom (NYSE: VIA).

That birthed two juicy rumors. The first was that former Viacom COO Mel Karmazin would be joining Sirius. That makes sense. He left Viacom four months ago, and while his name has been tossed around as a possible successor to Michael Eisner at Disney (NYSE: DIS), only Karmazin knows whether he is truly interested in the Mickey Mouse gig or whether he`s willing to wait until next year for Disney`s board to arrive at a decision.

The second rumor is a bit more radical. However, it was more widespread and had even the New York Post wondering whether Viacom would just flat-out acquire Sirius.

A merger would make sense on the most basic of levels. Viacom stands to lose the most with Stern`s departure. It`s not just that the show is highly rated in its syndicated markets; it`s more dire than that. If Stern`s switch to Sirius causes a migration away from free radio, Viacom`s Infinity Broadcasting will be dealt a brutal blow.

Sirius and XM Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: XMSR) spent billions to get their protected satellite streaming services off the ground, so if a company wants a financial stake in this promising sector, it pretty much boils down to scooping up one or the other. However, each company is already valued in the billions, and that lucrative potential, plus recent investor enthusiasm, means it would probably cost billions more to close a deal.

So why is no one bringing up a third option? Come 2006, Sirius and Stern will need more than word-of-mouth to promote the show to those who have yet to subscribe. That`s where Viacom`s many cable properties like Spike TV, MTV, and Comedy Central make sense to keep Stern visible beyond the realm of satellite radio. What kind of deal is possible? Will it involve Viacom taking some of the money it made in unloading Blockbuster (NYSE: BBI) -- a cash cow with a bleak future -- and funneling it into a minority stake in Sirius, a cash drain with a bright future?

Perhaps. But Viacom swallowing Sirius whole? I don`t think that Viacom can afford to be that hungry -- or that Sirius is that anxious to be served on a plate.

Will Viacom join Sirius in cashing in on Howard Stern`s success? Will satellite radio really have an impact on traditional radio? With 1.2 billion shares, is a reverse split in Sirius` future? All this and more in the Sirius discussion board. Only on Fool.com.

Longtime Fool contributor Rick Munarriz likes the move by Sirius in landing Stern and doesn`t feel that it is overpaying for his services. He owns shares in Viacom and Disney.

Ford to offer Sirius in cars, trucks - NYTimes
Mon Oct 18, 2004 01:10 AM ET
NEW YORK, Oct 18 (Reuters) - Ford Motor Co. (F.N: Quote, Profile, Research) plans to announce that it will offer Sirius Satellite Radio (SIRI.O: Quote, Profile, Research) in more cars and trucks, the New York Times reported on Monday.
The company will also begin installing the satellite radio systems at its factories for the first time, it said.

Sirius is currently available in nine Ford models, but Ford will offer Sirius as a dealer-installed option in four more vehicles before the end of the year, it said.

Ford is the last of the Big Three automakers to offer satellite radio as a factory-installed option, and falls behind both Chrysler (DCXGn.DE: Quote, Profile, Research) and General Motors (GM.N: Quote, Profile, Research) in the number of vehicles with the service available, the newspaper reported.

Ford hopes to have Sirius available as a factory-installed option in up to 20 vehicle lines by the 2007 model year, the Times added.

While Sirius is sold in both Ford and Chrysler vehicles, XM Satellite Radio (XMSR.O: Quote, Profile, Research) has signed a 12-year contract with General Motors, the nation`s largest automobile maker, the article stated.

It added that General Motors -- which includes Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick, Cadillac and Saturn -- estimates that XM will be installed in two million of its cars by the end of the year.

Earlier this month, Sirius struck a $500 million deal with controversial radio host Howard Stern, a deal that both increased its profile and led analysts to speculate that the move would help Sirius convince more automakers to offer its subscription radios as an option in their vehicles.

Neither Sirius nor Ford could be reached for comment early Monday.

Ford Expands SIRIUS Satellite Radio Offering
Monday October 18, 8:30 am ET
* Ford will offer SIRIUS Satellite Radio as a factory-installed option targeted for up to 20 Ford and Lincoln Mercury vehicle lines for 2006 and 2007 model years.
* Additionally, Ford expands SIRIUS as a dealer-installed option this fall.


DETROIT and NEW YORK, Oct. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ford Motor Company today announced that it is expanding its availability of SIRIUS Satellite Radio as a dealer-installed option, and is targeting up to 20 vehicle lines for factory installations over the next two years.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19991118/NYTH125 )
SIRIUS (Nasdaq: SIRI - News) is known for delivering premium content, including commercial-free music, as well as sports, news, information and entertainment to cars and homes across the country, and is rapidly expanding its programming lineup.

Ford, Mercury and Lincoln now offer SIRIUS Satellite Radio as a dealer-installed option on nine models. Beginning this fall, this offering will be expanded to four additional models -- Ford Escape, Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and the all-new Mercury Mariner. The feature is currently available on the Ford Explorer, Sport Trac, Expedition and Thunderbird, the Mercury Mountaineer, the Lincoln LS, Aviator, Navigator and Town Car.

Over the next two model years -- 2006 and 2007 -- Ford and Lincoln Mercury plan to offer SIRIUS as a factory-installed option on up to 20 vehicle lines.

"With longer commutes and heavier traffic volume, people are spending more time than ever in their vehicles," said Phil Martens, Ford group vice president, Product Creation.

"Soon, more Ford, Lincoln and Mercury customers will have the opportunity to further enhance their time in the vehicle with SIRIUS Satellite Radio," he said.

SIRIUS provides listeners with over 120 channels of premium programming, including 65 commercial-free music channels and over 55 channels of news, traffic, weather, comedy, original entertainment and comprehensive sports coverage. In addition to broadcasting all NFL games live, plus a full schedule of college football games, beginning in January of 2006, SIRIUS will also be the only place to listen to famous radio personality Howard Stern.

"Ford is more than an innovative brand. Its name is a part of automotive and American history," said Joseph P. Clayton, CEO of SIRIUS. "Naturally, we are thrilled to see that Ford is adding more SIRIUS availability to its great lineup of quality vehicles, and that they are moving forward to offer SIRIUS as a factory-installed option."

According to Clayton, demand for satellite radio -- and SIRIUS -- is increasing, and the company expects to reach one million subscribers by the end of 2004.

The recent introduction of live NFL games and college football, as well as relationships with the NHL, Maxim magazine, Eminem and the announcement that Howard Stern will be joining SIRIUS in 2006, are yet other examples of the company`s innovative content strategy to differentiate itself from the competition.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19991118/NYTH125 )
SIRIUS passed the 700,000 mark on October 18, helped by its best month ever on record in September with over 69,000 subscribers.

This fall also marked the debut of SIRIUS NFL Sunday Drive, the programming package that allows subscribers nationwide to hear every NFL game each week, and SIRIUS College Sports Radio, featuring play-by-play coverage of college football and basketball of over 25 top programs from around the country. SIRIUS is also home to 65 channels of 100% commercial-free music as well as over 55 channels of news, sports, weather, traffic information, original entertainment and call-in talk shows, all for the great value of $12.95 a month, with no added premiums, and discounts for advance payments of one-year or more.

"SIRIUS acquired over 69,000 subscribers in September, beating our previous record for monthly subscriber growth," said Joseph P. Clayton, CEO of SIRIUS. "This is indicative of the traction we are seeing in the retail marketplace, and the launch of more factory programs with our automotive partners, as well as the buzz that SIRIUS is generating from exciting programming initiatives such as NFL, college sports, Eminem`s `Shade 45`, Maxim Radio and, beginning in 2006, Howard Stern."

SIRIUS also launched a whole new line of smaller, feature-rich satellite radios -- such as the `Sportster` -- boomboxes and accessories this fall, which the company says is being well-received by consumers. Plus, SIRIUS also began a new advertising campaign featuring the NFL and commercial-free music programming to support all of its recent initiatives.

SIRIUS and Ford recently announced that Ford will offer SIRIUS as a dealer-installed option in four additional models for a total of 13, and plans to offer SIRIUS as a factory-installed option on up to 20 vehicles over the next two model years.

SIRIUS continues to have the strongest balance sheet in satellite radio, with cash of approximately $800 million.

Gurus also tuned into Sirius Satellite Radio (nasdaq: SIRI - news - people ), making an about-face on their previous strategy of gradually decreasing their position. Sirius surged after announcing on Oct. 6 that Howard Stern had signed a five-year contract to broadcast with the company, beginning in 2006. That day, shares were up as much as 29% (as high as $4.29), before settling back to $3.87. Top pickers have added 31% to their holdings since the announcement at an average price of $3.95. The stock`s trading at almost 150 times its last 12 months of sales, but that hasn`t scared investors away.

Six-Time Tour de France Champion to Host Own Show on SIRIUS Faction

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19991118/NYTH125 )
Few athletes on the world stage can rival Lance Armstrong`s accomplishments. Over the summer he won an unprecedented sixth Tour de France, with all six earned following his successful battle with cancer. Armstrong has been awarded virtually every sporting honor including Best Male Athlete at the 2003 ESPY awards; Sports Illustrated labeled him "one of the greatest athletes of all time." As founder of the Lance Armstrong Foundation, he has helped to fight cancer through education programs, government advocacy, public health initiatives, research and survivorship initiatives. The foundation has sold more than 18 million yellow LIVESTRONG bracelets at a dollar apiece.

"Lance Armstrong is arguably the greatest, most inspirational athlete and humanitarian in the sporting world," said Scott Greenstein, President of Entertainment and Sports, SIRIUS. "His accomplishments both as a cyclist, a two-time best-selling author and as founder of the Lance Armstrong Foundation are unparalleled. But Lance also likes to have fun - he takes advantage of all that his hometown of Austin, Texas has to offer in the form of great music. Lance will bring his life`s experiences, interests and lifestyle to the SIRIUS microphone every week."

"SIRIUS has already gathered an amazing group of sports heroes for the Faction channel, and I`m honored to be included among them," said Armstrong. "Each week, I`ll share some of my experiences, speak with listeners, bring on special guests, and most importantly play some of my favorite music."

SIRIUS Faction also features Tony Hawk`s Demolition Radio, hosted by the legendary skateboarder; world champion surfer Kelly Slater`s Radio KA-OS; Sixty Minute Set with Kerri Walsh, hosted by the Olympic Gold Medalist, and upcoming programs featuring Viva La Bam host Bam Margera and beach volleyball icon Sinjin Smith.

Armstrong`s yet-to-be-titled show will launch later this year and will be heard exclusively on SIRIUS.

SIRIUS Introduces Interior Glass Mounted Satellite Radio Antenna for Vehicles
Tuesday October 26, 12:28 pm ET
Design Offers Aesthetic Advantage Over Exterior Mounted Satellite Radio Antennas


NEW YORK, Oct. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SIRIUS (Nasdaq: SIRI - News), the premium satellite radio provider known for delivering the very best in commercial-free music and sports programming to cars and homes across the country, today announced the introduction of the world`s first interior glass mounted satellite radio antenna.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19991118/NYTH125 )
The SIRIUS Interior Glass Mounted Antenna, or SIGMA, was developed by SIRIUS and its antenna partner RecepTec, to provide a distinct aesthetic advantage over exterior mounted satellite radio antennas currently in use. SIGMA is mounted in the shaded sun band of a vehicle`s front windshield, has no exposed wiring and is unobtrusive. In addition to its aesthetic advantage, SIGMA will:

* Reduce costs due to the elimination of antenna pre-wiring and
associated factory installation costs

* Allow faster and more efficient factory and dealer installations

* Reduce warranty costs -- windshield protection eliminates problems
common to exterior mounted antennas such as water leakage, wind noise
or detachment due to harsh long term environmental conditions and car
wash damage


The SIGMA uses current OEM validated technology that has already been approved by SIRIUS` car manufacturing partners. SIGMA is made possible by the unique highly inclined elliptical orbits of SIRIUS` three satellites, resulting in superior line of sight reception to vehicles.

"This is the next step in the evolution of satellite radio antennas," said Doug Wilsterman, Senior Vice President of Automotive OEM for SIRIUS. "We believe that the unique design and ease of installation will make the SIGMA very popular with consumers."

SIGMA offers auto manufacturers the flexibility to completely integrate satellite radio inside a vehicle`s passenger cabin without disrupting the harmony of a vehicle`s interior or exterior styling.

Zahlen sind ok...

bin mal gespannt, was in 4Q04 mehr Auswirkungen hat - XM´s bessere Hardware oder SIRIS Deal mit Howard Stern...

[seinfeld]

Earlier this month the company lost a major radio talent when shock jock Howard Stern signed a five-year year deal with Sirius Satellite Radio Inc., the smaller of two rival radio satellite broadcasters.

While the loss of Stern alone won`t have a major impact on Viacom`s bottom line, it dealt another psychological blow to the radio industry, which has become unpopular with investors because of its sluggish growth prospects.

In a conference call with investors, Viacom`s co-president and co-chief operating officer Les Moonves acknowledged that "clearly radio has had a rough year," but "we still think it`s a great business."

Moonves said the company had come to feel that many of the stations were "starved" for programming and marketing spending, and that the company was focusing on turning around nine key stations with extra spending as it evaluates strategies for reviving the business.

For the first nine months of the year, Viacom earned $976.7 million, or 56 cents per share, versus $1.8 billion, or $1.02 per share, in the same period a year earlier. Nine-month revenues rose 9 percent to $16.23 billion from $14.88 billion.

World Media Digest
Costs outpace growth for Sirius in 3rd qtr.
BEN FRITZ, 10.28.04, 4:49 PM ET

Daily Variety

Sirius proved in the third quarter that growing a satellite radio business can be expensive, as fast-growing costs more than outpaced significant expansion in subscribers and revenue.

Result was a 59% increase in company`s net loss to $169.4 million. Sirius said that resulted in part from its spending on content, most notably the launch of its NFL package. Satcaster`s overall content spending skyrocketed more than 150% to $18.9 million.

Sirius signed the NFL to a seven-year, $220 million programming deal last year. It also recently signed Howard Stern to a five-year, $500 million package and has recruited such personalities as Eminem and Tony Hawk to host shows.

Looking to broaden its reach and attract customers to its expensive new content, Sirius` sales and marketing spending increased 66% to $42.5 million.

That more than outpaced company`s 349% increase in revenue to $19.1 million. Total subscriber numbers hit 662,289 as of Sept. 30, a 41% spike during the quarter and its biggest nonholiday increase to date.

Company added that it hit the 700,000 sub mark by Oct. 18 and is on track to exceed 1 million subs by the end of the year. Rapid growth rate still puts it far behind competitor XM, which has more than 2 million subscribers.

Sirius recently raised more than $300 million to buffer its cash reserves, which are quickly dwindling from its quarterly nine-figure losses. Company ended the quarter, before the new infusion, with $523 million in cash and equivalents.

Share in Sirius closed down 3% at $3.89 on Wednesday.

BusinessWeek Online
Satellite Radio Shoots The Moon
Friday October 29, 3:58 pm ET
By Tom Lowry in New York, with Catherine Yang in Washington and bureau reports


The satellite radio wars are heating up. Every week seems to bring another attempt by XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. (NasdaqNM:XMSR - News) and Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. (NasdaqNM:SIRI - News) to outdo each other. On Oct. 6, Sirius announced it had lured shock jock Howard Stern from broadcast radio in an exclusive five-year, $500 million cash and stock deal that starts in 2006. Two weeks later, XM counterpunched, announcing a $650 million, 11-year deal to air Major League Baseball.

In a matter of a month, XM and Sirius have together committed more than $1 billion for programming, in an all-out effort to entice listeners to pay $10 to $13 a month for their services. That`s a lot of loot for a pair of companies that have yet to make a dime in profits. As if a reminder was necessary, on Oct. 27 Sirius reported that its third-quarter net loss widened by nearly 60% to $169.4 million.

Are the two satellite radio pioneers overreaching? While analysts don`t expect either company to generate profits until 2008 at the earliest, they argue that the combination of more compelling programming and the increasing ubiquity of the radios in new car models could help turn satellite radio into a viable media business. Investors seem to agree: XM`s stock price surged 70% over past 12 months, to $32.50, while Sirius, with a much smaller market cap, has more than doubled, to about $4. Satellite radio, says Anthony Valencia, a media analyst at L.A.-based TCW Group, one of XM`s top institutional investors, "is affordable, and with its content and choice, more people over time will subscribe to the service."

Can XM and Sirius survive long enough to lure a critical mass of subscribers? Both companies have taken on plenty of debt to finance the programming sorties. XM now has $710 million of debt on its books; Sirius $426 million. But both also have plenty of cash. Sirius has tapped the capital markets six times in the past 18 months and is now sitting on a cushion of more than $800 million; XM has a cash hoard of $377 million. And so far the burn rate seems sustainable: SG Cowen & Co. expects XM to go through about $200 million over the next two years. What`s more, analysts say, both companies have probably completed their most expensive programming deals.

Stern`S Fans

Getting the programming right will be key. That`s where Stern comes in. He draws about 12 million loyal listeners in more than 40 cities, and analysts believe Sirius will need to sign up just 1.7 million of those fans to break even on its investment by 2007. For its part, XM is betting on the MLB deal to draw folks who want to listen to games that aren`t available on local radio. XM, which expects to have 3 million subscribers by yearend, will need to lure 1.6 million more to break even over the 11-year term of the MLB deal, reckons Bear, Stearns & Co. (BSC) analyst Robert Peck.
Just as important will be persuading auto makers to make satellite radio standard. Right now XM has the edge, with radios in 103 models. General Motors Corp. (NYSE:GM - News), which owns 5.2% of the company, offers the radios as an option in 90% of its North American models. Honda Motor Co. (NYSE:HMC - News), which holds an 8.2% stake, has installed the technology in eight models. By contrast, Sirius will be in 50 DaimlerChrysler (NYSE: DCX - News), BMW, and Volkswagen models by yearend. Ford Motor (NYSE:F - News), meanwhile, expects to have Sirius radios in 20 models within two years. On high-end models, the technology is standard at no extra cost to the buyer, while on many vehicles satellite radio is part of a package that often includes a CD player and sunroof.

XM and Sirius believe that with 200 million cars and light trucks on U.S. roads and roughly 16 to 17 million new vehicles sold each year, the potential market for satellite radio is huge. And with 57% of the folks who buy satellite radio-equipped models signing up for the service, they could be right.

Howard Stern

Secretary of "defense." Colin Powell took to the airwaves Wednesday to address Howard Stern`s criticism of his son. The shock jock has long maintained the U.S. Federal Communications Commission has unfairly targeted him, as merely the most recognizable of many similarly potty-mouthed radio figures. After the FCC slapped a fine on Viacom`s (nyse: VIAb - news - people ) Infinity radio unit, which carries Stern`s show, the one-time self-described "king of all media" inked a deal with Sirius Satellite Radio (nasdaq: SIRI - news - people ). The space-borne carrier is beyond standard FCC regulations, so presumably Stern could resume endangering a defenseless America with the horrors of "cuss" words. But Stern apparently remains irked at the media agency, and Tuesday decided to take his ire public, in a mode familiar to his fans: He called into San Francisco radio host Ronn Owen`s morning show, where FCC Chairman Michael Powell was a guest. On the air, "Howard from New York" commenced to question Powell`s credentials. "How did you get your job? It is apparent to most of us in broadcasting that your father got you your job, and you kind of sit there and you`re the judge, you`re the arbiter, you`re the one who tells us what we can and can`t say on the air," Stern said. The FCC chief stood his ground, declaring, "You can look at my résumé if you want, Howard, I`m not ashamed of it, I think it justifies my existence." But Powell père heard the call to duty: On Wednesday, the U.S. secretary of state spoke on cable television`s CNBC news net, calling Stern`s patriarchical notion "nonsense." He added, "My son is an enormously qualified individual, and I think he has served--if I may so as a father and as a not so distant observer--with great distinction."

Sirius` NFL Deal Didn`t Tackle XM Satellite In Q3
11.05.04, 9:29 AM ET

Banc of America Securities sees slightly wider losses for XM Satellite Radio Holdings (nasdaq: XMSR - news - people ) but raised the target price. Banc of America said XM Satellite is showing "great execution as growth momentum continues" after the satellite radio company reported a narrower-than-expected loss in the third quarter. The research firm said XM Satellite is on track to top its 2004 subscriber guidance of 3.1 million. Banc of America raised the 12-month target price to $37 from $32, citing the company`s drive for higher near-term subscriber growth, and higher expenses but better operating cash flow. The firm, which rates XM Satellite at "buy," widened the 2004 expected loss to $3.08 per share from $3.07, and widened the 2005 expected loss to $2.76 from $2.73. General Motors (nyse: GM - news - people ) and Honda Motor (nyse: HMC - news - people ) continue to lead original equipment manufacturer (OEM) distribution with more than 51% of new subscribers in the third quarter being added from the OEM market and the remaining 49% added from the retail channel, Banc of America said. "XM Satellite maintained its lead in third-quarter net adds over rival Sirius Satellite Radio (nasdaq: SIRI - news - people ), not only in the OEM channel, but also in retail, a commendable performance especially in view of the NFL telecast by Sirius. These results in the retail market highlight our belief that the NFL deal did little to drive incremental subs for Sirius in the third quarter," the firm said. In its radio and television broadcasting coverage Banc of America`s top picks are XM Satellite and Clear Channel Communications (nyse: CCU - news - people ), rated at "buy" with a $40 price target. The firm`s least favorite is Sirius, rated at "neutral" with a $3.19 price target.

Kommt Howard Stern vielleicht doch schon eher ??

World Media Digest
Howard wants out of job now
JOHN MAINELLI, 11.11.04, 3:30 PM ET

NY Post

HOWARD Stern claiming he`s being "jerked around" and "threatened" by his bosses says he might start on satellite radio a lot sooner than Jan. 1, 2006.

"A buddy of mine who shall remain nameless says . . . Viacom is trying to get Sirius [Satellite Radio] to pay off my contract and then I would leave early `cause Sirius is anxious to get the show started," Stern told listeners yesterday.

The top-rated bad boy who shocked the radio world last month with the announcement he was quitting broadcast radio to take a big-money offer from satellite radio has been sounding uncharacteristically depressed of late.

He says he`s being peppered by "legal letters" and "threats" from Viacom lawyers.

And elsewhere around the country Stern airs in 46 cities his show is being heavily censored by Infinity, Viacom`s radio unit.

"Jimmy Kimmel wrote me [that] they`re trashing the show [in L.A.], cutting pieces out and putting in more commercials than ever," Stern said.

"I`m like, `Dude, I`m so outta here, let `em do whatever they want.`"

Stern even attacked the head of Infinity dubbing him "Joel `dangerously close to losing his position` Hollander" and claimed Hollander is "busy meeting with lawyers [to] see if I violated my contract in some way.

"Hey, I had a contract with you and I honored it," Stern said.

"You want to pay off, let me know," he said. "You don`t want to pay off, I`m here for the duration.

"But you don`t have to be d-heads about it."

Stern is worth as much as $100 million to Infinity, but the company recently made it clear that it considers him only a small part of the Viacom media empire.

Infinity and Sirius declined comment, although Sirius CEO Joe Clayton told analysts last month that a contract buyout "is indeed a possibility."

Shock Jock Stern
Seeks Early Exit
From Viacom Deal

By SARAH MCBRIDE and JOE FLINT
Staff Reporters of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
November 12, 2004; Page B6

It is beginning to look like shock jock Howard Stern`s transition from broadcast radio to an upstart satellite service will be anything but smooth, prompting Mr. Stern to explore whether he can make the leap earlier than expected.

With a little more than a year until Mr. Stern jumps to Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. from Viacom Inc.`s Infinity Broadcasting, the popular radio host has gone on the warpath against his current employer.

The issue is that Viacom has withdrawn its financial support from Mr. Stern`s legal fight against Clear Channel Communication Inc., which dropped his show earlier this year after the Federal Communications Commission began a crackdown on indecent broadcasts.

The about-face has infuriated Mr. Stern, who has lambasted Infinity management on the air during his past few shows, but without mentioning the legal issue at the root of the squabble. People close to Infinity say that because Mr. Stern was secretly negotiating with Sirius while enlisting the support of Infinity`s legal team in a suit against Clear Channel, Infinity no longer feels compelled to back him. Spokesmen for Infinity and Sirius declined to comment; Mr. Stern`s agent couldn`t be reached.

Mr. Stern is negotiating to get out of his contract with Infinity so he can join Sirius earlier than the 2006 date currently planned. Mr. Stern announced his planned move to Sirius last month, live on his show. Sirius likely would have to pay a steep price to land Mr. Stern early; he brings in some $80 million annually in advertising revenue and $50 million annually in cash flow to Infinity, according to people familiar with the matter.

Mr. Stern`s rants have led some close to the situation to believe that he is trying to goad Infinity into taking him off the air, which the company doesn`t want to do unless Sirius ponies up to buy out his contract.

At the end of June, Infinity and Mr. Stern filed a $10 million breach-of-contract suit against Clear Channel for dropping Mr. Stern`s show earlier in the year. In July, Clear Channel countersued for $3 million, alleging Mr. Stern broke his contract with the company by not conforming to federal decency standards.

Kursziel 6,50$

Sirius Satellite rallies on bullish CIBC initiation (SIRI, XMSR) By Michael Baron

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Shares of Sirius Satellite Radio (SIRI) got a boost of more than 5 percent to $4.06 in afternoon action after CIBC World Markets started coverage of the company with a "sector outperformer" rating. The move was part of a larger initiation of the satellite radio sector, which the firm rated at "overweight," saying it`s one of the few growth stories among subscriber/service businesses. CIBC set a $6.50 price target on Sirius, citing the estimated impact of Howard Stern`s eventual arrival at the company and a belief that the year-end target for 1 million subscribers is "easily achievable" and "likely beatable." Coverage of XM Satellite Radio (XMSR) was started a less bullish "sector performer" level by CIBC because of valuation concerns and question about an eventual deal with Toyota due to the recent developments at Sirius.


Schlußkurs sogar noch 4,17$ ... so langsam sollte ich mal über einen Teilverkauf nachdenken ... was meinst Du, Candlebougie


Schönes Wochenende wünscht Dir und allen anderen Seinfeld

[candlebougie]

einen teil könntest du jetzt sicher verkaufen - zur Sicherheit.

mein letztes Drittel verkaufe ich aber erst bei Kurse, die über den liegen bei denen ich mein zweites Drittel verkauft habe (4,24$)

vielleicht warte ich noch ein paar Wochen....

[Equinoxium]

Warum willst Du bei 4,25 $ verkaufen, wenn das Kursziel bei 6,50 $ liegt?

So, wie der Chartverlauf jetzt aussieht, spricht doch alles für einen längerfristigen Aufwärtstrend.

Im übrigen finde ich es sehr gut, dass hier immer aktuelle News im Threat eingestellt werden. Vielen Dank an die aufmerksamen User.

[candlebougie]

ich will bei Kursen über 4,25 verkaufen...

warum? Nun, SIRIUS ist inzwischen mit über 5 (!) Milliarden Dollar bewertet (völlig "diluted" noch ein paar Milliarden mehr) - das bei einem Quartalsumsatz von 19 Millionen und Verlusten von 170 Millionen.

Damit keine Missverständnisse aufkommen: Ich liebe die beiden Werte (XM und SIRI), aber man muss auch auf die fundamentalen Daten schauen und aufpassen, dass die Kurse nicht zuweit vorauslaufen.

6,5$ finde ich etwas lächerlich, bis zum Jahresende sind aber vielleicht Kurse über 5 drin - allerdings mit einem immer weiter steigeden Risiko.

...und außerdem habe, sollte SIRIUS Kurse von über 4,25 erreichen, in etwas über einem Monat 100% Gewinn gemacht - das reicht erst mal.

[seinfeld]

Candlebougie hat recht ... Sirius läuft jetzt doch auf sehr hohem Niveau und das Rückschlagpotential dürfte bald größer sein als weitere Chancen auf Kurssteigerungen. Die von CIBC prognostizierten 6,50$ sind ein 18-Monatsziel und sehr wagemutig, so weit hat sich noch kein anderer Analyst hervorgewagt. Mir macht auch die extrem hohe Marktkapitalisierung von inzwischen weit über 5 Mrd. Dollar Sorge, da sind schon sehr, sehr viele Vorschußlorbeeren eingepreist, die sich jetzt erst einmal bewahrheiten müssen.

Ich bin heute mit einer größeren Position (ca. 3/5) bei 4,42$ ausgestiegen. Mal schauen was noch geht ...

Ach ja, am Donnerstag tritt Howard Stern in der Late-Night-Show von David Letterman auf, wovon sich viele Anleger in den USA noch mehr Impulse erwarten ...

Gruß und noch einen schönen Abend, Seinfeld

[Equinoxium]

Hallo Candlebougie!

Bleibst Du Deinem Grundsatz treu?

Jetzt sind wir ja erstmal stabil über 4,25$. Rechnest Du jetzt wieder mit einem Rückschlag, oder werden wir bis Donnerstag weiter steigen?

Ich für meinen Teil sehe den Up-Trend ersteinmal bestätigt und bleibe long. Noch steckt Phantasie in der Aktie.

[candlebougie]

keine ahnung. bisher habe ich die letzte Position noch nicht verkauft.

vielleicht gibt es heute einen (leichten) Rückschlag, mal sehen. Ein wenig Luft sehe ich noch, aber wirklich nicht mehr so viel (kurzfristig).

[candlebougie]

ok, ich bin jetzt raus bei ungefähr 4,75 (habe die Order gerade reingestellt)

jetzt MUSS eine Korrektur kommen

Sirius Highs
By Rick Aristotle Munarriz (TMF Edible)
November 16, 2004

Yes, Sirius Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI) matters again. The stock closed yesterday at a level last seen 30 months ago. If you go by market cap, given the stock`s unfortunate habit of speed-printing new shares, the company has never been valued as high as it is right now at $5.5 billion. Yet if things pan out just right, the stock will be worth every penny.

I`ve already waxed positive on the stock more than a few times this year, and you are more than welcome to revisit the reasons for my optimism if you wish. While it`s true that David Gardner and the Rule Breakers team successfully shorted the stock at $6.90 back in January 2002 and profited from its slide all the way down to $0.93 a year later, I believe that the fundamentals have improved smartly since then.

The migration to satellite radio is real. Sirius and rival XM Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: XMSR) will be signing up a million new subscribers this quarter alone. Attractive deals with automakers are making satellite radio receivers a popular factory-installed option in more and more cars, and now the content is coming.

While Sirius is still behind XM on the subscriber count, it`s holding a strong hand for the future after landing the NFL and then Howard Stern. The Stern deal is what is truly promising as he will be heard exclusively on Sirius come 2006. If just 10% of his free radio listeners make the move to Sirius to tune into Stern`s rowdy morning show, it will be a profitable move for Sirius.

While a bullish initial stock rating from CIBC World Markets helped the stock last week, more than a few Sirius watchers will be tuning into David Letterman`s The Late Show come Thursday. Handcuffed by Viacom (NYSE: VIA) when it comes to pimping his deal with Sirius on his Viacom-owned radio show, Stern has already told his listeners that his stint on Letterman will be like an infomercial. The fact that Viacom also owns CBS will make this very interesting for more than just the potential for verbal fireworks.

If Stern ruffles enough feathers, it may be quite possible that Viacom and Sirius would negotiate an early buyout of the Stern show. It`s not what either party would want, as Sirius could use another year of milking the publicity to shore up its user base before committing to its $100 million annual contract with Stern, and Viacom would hate to lose a money maker who rules the critical morning drive radio market.

However, if free radio is going to become a casualty of the satellite radio revolution, there may be no better time like the present to get it started. If Stern`s mouth proves to be the equivalent of the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, history may write a new chapter come Thursday. As the early adopter columnist in our new Rule Breakers research newsletter, I couldn`t be more excited.

[seinfeld]

Mann, wird das heiss hier ...

Also ich habe meine Position bei Sirius heute bei
4,95$ glattgestellt ... die Situation scheint
mir einfach total überhitzt und die Aktie stark
überkauft zu sein ... werde natürlich weiter
beobachten, was sich so bei SIRI tut ... und bei
entsprechenden Kursen auch wieder einsteigen ...
oder aber ich höre mal auf Candlebougie und
schaue mir XM Satellite etwas genauer an

[candlebougie]

sehr gut!!

obwohl auch XM ziemlich gut gelaufen ist - siehe Chart in meinem XM-Thread.

ich denke, dass beide Werte (vor allem SIRI) nach einer Korrektur weiter steigen werden - im Angesicht des Weihnachtsgeschäfts und der CES-Messe. Läuft eigentlich jedes Jahr so.

mal sehen, wann wieder attraktivere Einstiegsmöglichkeiten auftreten.

[Equinoxium]

Schade!

Nun seit ihr ausgestiegen und damit scheinen auch die Disskusionen beendet zu sein. Ich hoffe nun zunächst auf höhere Kurse, bin ja schließlich erst später eingestiegen als ihr.

Bis in welche Bereiche könnte denn eine eventuelle Korrektur gehen bzw. wo würdet ihr denn wieder einsteigen?

[seinfeld]

Da kommt es schon, das erste Downgrade für Sirius ... war ja irgendwie zu erwarten ...

Also ich denke frühestens bei Kursen von 3,60 bis 3,70 Dollar wieder über einen Einstieg nach ... lieber noch tiefer ... hängt auch vom Euro-Dollar-Verhältnis ab. Ob es aber wirklich wieder in diese Tiefen geht, weiß ich natürlich auch nicht ...




A Stern Warning For Sirius Satellite
11.18.04, 10:00 AM ET

Banc of America Securities downgraded Sirius Satellite Radio (nasdaq: SIRI - news - people ) to "sell" from "neutral," mainly on valuation. The research firm however raised the 12-month price target to $3.68 from $3.19 to reflect slightly lower out-year subscriber acquisition costs, and slightly higher operating cash flow from increased deferred revenue collections. "We continue to believe Sirius is in a fast growing industry with tremendous potential. But our new price target of $3.68 implies a downside of 25.7% from the current stock price, necessitating a `sell` rating based upon the Banc of America ratings system," the firm said. Banc of America said the upside from an early switch by Howard Stern to Sirius "would be only slightly positive to overall firm value" and will be "expensive," potentially increasing cash costs per user by about 30% next year. The research firm`s analysis assumes Howard`s standard costs of $100 million would occur in 2005, plus it assumes a one-time $80 million cash settlement with Viacom (nyse: VIAb - news - people ) to buy out the last remaining year on the show. The firm said, "Upside for the stock from an early Stern move to Sirius Satellite Radio is limited, we believe, and more than priced in." Sirius is Banc of America`s least favorite pick in its radio and television broadcasting coverage. The firm`s top picks are Clear Channel Communications (nyse: CCU - news - people ) and XM Satellite Radio Holdings (nasdaq: XMSR - news - people ), both rated at "buy" with respective price targets of $40 and $37.

Mel Karmazin Named Chief Executive Officer of SIRIUS Satellite Radio; Joseph P. Clayton to Remain as Chairman of the Company
Thursday November 18, 4:44 pm ET


NEW YORK, Nov. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Board of Directors of SIRIUS Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI - News) has named Mel Karmazin as Chief Executive Officer. He succeeds Joseph P. Clayton, who will remain at SIRIUS as Chairman of the Board of Directors.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19991118/NYTH125 )
Mr. Clayton said, "The hiring of Mel Karmazin is the final piece in the turnaround of SIRIUS that began when I joined the company three years ago. My contract was ending on December 31, and I advised the Board of Directors that I was willing to stay on for a transitional period. When Mel left Viacom, we all felt we had a unique opportunity."

Mr. Clayton added, "I am very confident that Mel will accelerate the very positive momentum that we have established at SIRIUS in the past two years. Our recent announcement of the signing of Howard Stern, our exclusive relationship with the National Football League and the partnerships with automakers such as DaimlerChrysler, Ford and BMW are all indications that satellite radio has a central role in the future of broadcast media. We fully expect to achieve the subscriber projections we have given to Wall Street for this year."

Mr. Karmazin, who served as President and CEO of Viacom until earlier this year, said, "This is a perfect opportunity for me because I want to lead a growth company that can reshape the landscape of the radio business. I took Infinity Broadcasting and Westwood One to leadership positions in the industry and am confident that SIRIUS will become a market leader in short order. I will inherit a first-class management group led by co-presidents Scott Greenstein and James Meyer. I look forward to working closely with Joe Clayton and the strong team that he has assembled."

Mr. Greenstein said, "Mel Karmazin is a legend in the entertainment industry and can help us build the new medium of satellite radio." Mr. Meyer added, "I see increased enthusiasm in our retail channel and more confidence in our automotive partners. They can see what we are doing with the SIRIUS brand and service offering."

New Sirius chief Karmazin buys 1.5 mln shares

Mon Nov 22, 2004 03:50 PM ET

NEW YORK, Nov 22 (Reuters) - Mel Karmazin, the newly appointed chief executive of Sirius Satellite Radio Holdings (SIRI.O: Quote, Profile, Research) purchased 1.5 million shares of the No. 2 pay-radio company`s stock at $5.36 a share, sending its stock price rising 15 percent.
The radio industry veteran and former president of Viacom Inc. (VIAb.N: Quote, Profile, Research) (VIA.N: Quote, Profile, Research) , who left the company over differences with Viacom CEO Sumner Redstone, is now reunited with ribald radio host Howard Stern.

Karmazin told reporters on Friday he planned to purchase the shares as a testament of his faith in the nascent fee-based service and in the No. 2 satellite radio company.

He will be paid a base salary of $1.25 million a year and has been granted 3 million shares of retricted stock and options to purchase 30 million shares at $4.72 a share.

Shares of Sirius rose 77 cents to $5.94 on the Nasdaq.

SIRIUS Satellite Radio Passes 800,000 Subscriber Mark
Tuesday November 23, 8:38 am ET
* Company On Track to Reach One Million Subscribers by End of Year
* SIRIUS Begins Holiday Season With Innovative Products and Unequaled Programming, Including NFL, NBA, College Sports and Commercial-Free Music


NEW YORK, Nov. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SIRIUS (Nasdaq: SIRI - News), the premium satellite radio provider known for delivering the most compelling commercial-free music and sports programming to cars and homes across the country, today announced that it has surpassed 800,000 subscribers, and remains on track to achieve one million subscribers by the end of the year.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19991118/NYTH125 )
SIRIUS passed the 800,000 mark on November 22, and is well-positioned going into the busy holiday selling season. During this period, SIRIUS will have multiple portable "Plug & Play" products on sale, including the SIRIUS Sportster, a receiver with features for the sports enthusiast, and the XACT Communication XTR1 "Stream Jockey," a palm-sized unit that has its own integrated headphone connection and volume controls. Both receivers are compatible with optional boom boxes for portable use.

SIRIUS will also have "Plug & Play" receivers available from Audiovox, Blaupunkt, Clarion, DISH, JVC and Kenwood. The Orbiter SIRIUS satellite radio receiver will be available at all RadioShack stores, and the Streamer, manufactured by Brix, will be available at trucks stops and travel centers.

Throughout the football season, the company will feature SIRIUS NFL Sunday Drive, the programming package that allows subscribers nationwide to hear every NFL game each week, and SIRIUS College Sports Radio, featuring play-by- play coverage of college football and basketball from over 25 top programs around the country. SIRIUS is also home to 65 channels of 100% commercial-free music as well as over 55 channels of news, sports, weather, traffic information, original entertainment and call-in talk shows, all for the great value of $12.95 a month, with no added premiums, and discounts for advance payments of one-year or more.

"SIRIUS is on a roll," said Mel Karmazin, Chief Executive Officer of SIRIUS. "We are very excited about this upcoming holiday season, now that we have such a wide array of innovative products on retail shelves. When you combine these new models with our programming initiatives such as the NFL, NBA, college sports, Eminem`s `Shade 45`, Maxim Radio and, beginning in 2006, Howard Stern, you can easily see why we believe SIRIUS is the gift of choice for the holidays."

SIRIUS also began a new advertising campaign featuring the NFL and commercial-free music programming to support all of its recent initiatives, and more holiday-related advertisements are planned. Many retailers will feature the SIRIUS $30-Below rebate promotion, making the hardware even more affordable.

SIRIUS and Ford recently announced that Ford will offer SIRIUS as a dealer-installed option in four additional models for a total of 13, and plans to offer SIRIUS as a factory-installed option on up to 20 vehicles over the next two model years. DaimlerChrysler currently offers SIRIUS as a factory and dealer installed option, and Mercedes-Benz recently announced that it is offering SIRIUS as a factory installed option as well. BMW also offers SIRIUS as a factory and dealer installed option.

SIRIUS continues to have the strongest balance sheet in satellite radio, with cash of approximately $800 million.

SIRIUS radios for the car and home beginning at $149 are available at major national retailers such as Best Buy, Circuit City, Crutchfield, Office Depot, RadioShack, Sears, Target, Wal-Mart and over 20,000 retail locations around the country, including DISH Network outlets, as well as many truck stops and travel centers. SIRIUS radios are also available in select Ford, DaimlerChrysler, BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, Nissan and Infiniti automobiles.

hallo leute,
jetzt habe ich gerade meine alten beiträge aus 2002 und 2003 nochmal durchgelesen. Die Aktie kam von 8$ und ich bin bei 6,18 $ eingestiegen. Dann der Absturz bis auf 0,50 $. Ich hab irgendwie den ausstieg verpasst und das ding als totalverlust eigentlich abgeschrieben. Zum Nachkauf hat mir der mut gefehlt (die kapitalerhöhungen, der schuldenstand und das anfangs schwache mitgliederwachstum), aber ich hab siri liegen lassen. Und jetzt wieder 100% in 4 wochen! Die börse ist ein irrenhaus. Ob ich dabei bleibe? marktkapitalisierung 8 mrd $! Ich glaub` ich krieg kalte füße. Gibts bei euch jemand, der bei 0,60$ eingestiegen ist?

Sirius Satallite Radio - Völlig losgelöst
Die Aktien von Sirius Satellite Radio (SSR) verteuern sich an Nasdaq bis 17.00 Uhr um 0,71 Dollar oder 11,9 Prozent auf 6,68 Dollar. Noch im August hatte das Papier bei etwa 2 Dollar notiert.

Auslöser der jüngsten Kursrallye ist die Meldung, dass SSR mit seinen Programmen mittlerweile über 800.000 Kunden beliefert. Das Unternehmen betreibt etwa 100 Radioprogramme und verbreitet dazu die entsprechenden Live-Streams. Eigenen Angaben zufolge decke das Angebot praktisch sämtliche Musikrichtungen ab, hinzu kämen vor allem Sportreportagen. Stolz ist SSR insbesondere auf den Umstand, dass die "Musik-Channels" werbefreie Zone seien.

Das Unternehmen hat in den letzten Wochen eine Menge Aufmerksamkeit erregt und dadurch die Investoren angelockt. Neben der positiven Geschäftentwicklung hätten einige "warme Worte" bekannter Persönlichkeiten über Sirius in der Öffentlichkeit das Interesse geweckt, schreibt ein bekannter US-Börsendienst. Hinzu kam, dass ein früherer Top-Manager des Medienriesen Viacom den Chefsessel bei SSR übernommen hat. Der Konzern befindet sich nun zudem in Schlagdistanz zum Branchenführer XM Satellite.

Fundamental hat der heftige Kursanstieg die Bewertungsmaßstäbe zuletzt etwas verschoben: Bei geschätzten Umsatzerlösen von 205 Millionen Dollar 2005 beträgt die Marktkapitalisierung atemberaubende 8,44 Milliarden Dollar. Für 2004 rechnen 20 das Unternehmen begleitende Analysten im Schnitt mit einem Fehlbetrag von 0,50 Dollar pro Aktie. 2005 soll das Minus auf 0,45 Dollar sinken. Trotz der hohen Verluste müssen sich die Investoren keine Sorgen um eine mögliche Pleite machen - Sirius sitzt auf rund 500 Millionen Dollar an Barreserven.

Sirius Satellite lt.J.P.Morgan üppig bewertet

Sirius Satellite wird von J.P.Morgan von "overweight" auf "neutral" herabgestuft. Die Experten führen als Grund der Herabstufung die Bewertung des Satellitenradiobetreibers an. Die Aktie legte seit Ende Oktober über 60 Prozent zu. Nun würden die kurzfristigen Aussichten eines raschen Wachstums durch den Titel reflektiert. Der zuständige Analyst empfielt daher Gewinne mitzunehmen. Die Ansicht, dass der Satellitenradio-Sektor gute Chancen biete bleibe aufrecht. Bei XM Satellite Radio seien die Anleger gegenüber Sirius Satellite (Nachrichten) mit einem geringeren Risiko konfrontiert, zumal der Konkurrent über mehr Kunden verfüge und vermutlich bald einen freien Cash-Flow sowie auf Jahressicht die Marktführerschaft erreichen werde.

Better Opportunity In XM Satellite Than Sirius
11.24.04, 10:45 AM ET

J.P. Morgan downgraded Sirius Satellite Radio (nasdaq: SIRI - news - people ) to "neutral" from "overweight," saying the company is now much closer to reflecting its near-term rapid growth opportunity. "At a market cap of $10.0 billion and a firm value of $9.6 billion, Sirius`s equity value is only 9% below rival XM Satellite Radio Holdings (nasdaq: XMSR - news - people ) while its firm value discount is only 16%, despite having less than a third of XM`s sub base," J.P. Morgan said. "We see limited room for more narrowing of the value gap." The research firm said Sirius is experiencing faster growth from a smaller base than XM, due in part to recent content deals with Howard Stern and the National Football League. "We now believe Sirius` stock is susceptible to minor hiccups, making profit taking prudent," J.P. Morgan said. "We continue to see substantial opportunity in the satellite radio sector, but now believe the better risk/reward is at XM."

iPod+Sirius (wenn es denn stimmt) wird wohl kein richtiger iPod, sondern eher ein "Download-Service"

Du lädst die Songs die du hören möchtest mit iTunes runter und spielst sie auf dein tragbares Sirius-Gerät, falls du mal keine Empfang hast. (dieses Konzept hat ein Sirius-Sprecher mal in einem Interview erwähnt)

Für einen richtigen satellite-iPod sind meiner Ansicht nach die Chips noch zu groß, heiß und energiefressend (auch die nächsten Generation).

Sirius Announces Post Production and Dealer Installed Options in Toyota, Lexus and Scion Vehicles Beginning February 2005
Tuesday December 7, 12:10 am ET
Toyota to Offer SIRIUS Satellite Radio in Nine Models


NEW YORK, Dec. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SIRIUS Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI - News) today announced that Toyota will offer SIRIUS, as both a post production and dealer installed option, in nine models beginning in February 2005.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19991118/NYTH125 )
The Toyota models include: Camry, Solara (including Solara Convertible), Land Cruiser, Lexus LS 430, Lexus ES 330, Lexus LX 470, Scion xA, Scion xB and Scion tC. Toyota now joins the ranks of other automotive partners offering SIRIUS, including Audi, BMW, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, Infiniti, Jeep®, Lincoln-Mercury, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, MINI, Nissan, Porsche and Volkswagen, all offering SIRIUS.

"We are very excited that Toyota will be offering SIRIUS as both a post production and dealer installed option in their quality vehicle lineup," said Mel Karmazin, CEO of SIRIUS. "It goes without saying that Toyota is one of the most successful premier auto manufacturers in the world, offering vehicles of exceptional reliability and performance. We believe that SIRIUS, and its premium programming, will complement Toyota`s well-earned reputation, and will add to its ability to offer customers even more of an enhanced driving experience."

Roger Penske, Chairman and Chief Executive of United Auto Group, the second largest publicly-traded automotive retailer in the U.S., said: "This is terrific news for our many Toyota customers. At our Toyota and Lexus dealerships throughout the country, we are focused on giving customers the very best in service and premium content as a part of our partnership with SIRIUS Satellite Radio."

Greg Penske, President of Penske Automotive Group, owner of the largest Toyota dealership in the United States, said "Toyota`s announcement today is great news for both SIRIUS and Toyota customers. Penske Automotive Group and SIRIUS are 100% committed to making SIRIUS the satellite radio provider of choice for Toyota customers throughout the country."

The Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) will be $299, not including installation labor costs for dealer installed vehicles. Toyota, Lexus and Scion will also use the all-new SIRIUS Interior Glass Mounted Antenna (SIGMA) on nearly all vehicles, which will provide the most integrated antenna installation solution available in the industry to date.

The $500,000 DABAH Diary
Disciplined, Aggressive Buy And Hold Diary - 06DEC04


Summary Of Actions:

A SIRI Leveraged Account D margin remax-up was done at the closing price of 8.09 as a second day confirmation of the rupture of 7.50 occurred (the 2.50 incremental value since the last D max-up trigger). 79,841.71 shares were purchased for $645,919.42 and the faux trade will "settle" on Thursday.

D margin remaxs do not apply to the SIRI Unleveraged Account and so no equivalent action was taken there.

Additionally, since XMSR closed above 37.50 today, if Tuesday`s market confirms the 37.50 rupture (the 2.50 incremental change since the last D max-up trigger) a follow-on D margin max-up in XMSR will be done at the close in XMSR on Tuesday.

Eines muss ich SIRIUS lassen: Ihre PR-Abteilung ist "krass"

Alle Berichte in den Medien sprechen von "XM und SIRIUS-Radios werden in Toyota-Autos angeboten werden (...)"

dabei wird völlig außer acht gelassen, dass XM factory-installt werden wird und SIRIUS nur bei Penske (also Händlern) angeboten wird, die etwa 6% (!!!!!!!!!!) der verkauften Fahrzeuge ausmachen. Hier ein Lehman Brothers-Bericht, der als einziger darauf aufmerksam macht:

"Sirius will be available on select Toyota vehicles as dealer-installed option. Penske, which is understood to account for about 6% of Toyota`s unit sales in the U.S. has warrants in Sirius and could possibly aggressively market Sirius` service in its 15-20 dealerships. However, once XM is available as a factory-installed option, selling Sirius as a dealer-installed option may become more difficult. Stocks continue to be momentum driven and are factoring in substantial future success. "

Sirius Satellite Radio "sector outperform," target price raised

Friday, December 10, 2004 12:05:39 PM ET
CIBC World Markets


NEW YORK, December 10 (newratings.com) - Analysts at CIBC World Markets reiterate their "sector outperform" rating on Sirius Satellite Radio (SIRI.NAS). The target price has been raised from $6.50 to $9.00.

Sirius Satellite Radio: Sell

Smith Barney Citigroup stuft in der Wochenstudie "Portfolio Strategist" vom 9. Dezember die Aktie des US-Technologieunternehmens Sirius Satellite Radio (Nachrichten) von "Hold" auf "Sell" herab. Das Kursziel senken die Analysten auf 7 Dollar.

Technisch sei die Aktie ein "Buy". Mittelfristig erscheine die Aktie nach wie vor attraktiv, doch sie müsse nach einem wohlverdienten Rückschlag erst wieder Halt gewinnen. Unterstützungen lägen bei 6,38 und 4,50 Dollar. Wiederstände befänden sich bei 10 und 13 Dollar. Nach wie vor schätzen die Analysten das Unternehmen fundamental positiv ein, doch die Aktie notiere auf einem Niveau, das sich nur schwer rechtfertigen lasse. Smith Barney Citigroup sieht daher ein Abwärtspotenzial von 22 Prozent.

(AFX UK Focus) 2004-12-10 17:20 GMT:
CIBC still likes Sirius over XM Satellite

Article layout: raw
NEW YORK (AFX) - In the face of a sharp run-up over the past two months and two broker downgrades earlier this week, CIBC World Markets said Friday it was still "too early" to sell Sirius Satellite Radio.
Sirius lost some 20 percent of its value after Smith Barney and Bear Stearns downgraded the stock Wednesday on concerns the share price had gotten ahead of itself.


Prior to the downgrades, however, shares of the high-flying provider of satellite radio services had soared nearly 200 percent just from Oct. 1. But the stock bounced 37 cents, or 5.2 percent, to $7.54 Friday after CIBC analyst Jason Helfstein boosted his price target on the shares to $9 from $6.50, and told clients he still prefers Sirius over its chief competitor XM Satellite Radio Holdings . "Simply put, its higher monthly fee still makes Sirius more attractive, and we think advertisers will favor SIRI`s lineup of radio personality Howard Stern and the National Football League, among others, over XMSR`s Major League Baseball offering," Helfstein wrote in a research note. XMSR shares rose 1.6 percent to $38.73. Helfstein said he took a fresh look at his subscriber assumptions for both companies following the price swings in Sirius shares. Based on new models, he is now assuming 8.3 million, 14.5 million and 20.7 million combined satellite radio subscribers in 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively. He estimates the market split at 34 percent Sirius/63 percent XMSR in 2005; 42 percent Sirius/58 percent XMSR in 2006; and 45 percent Sirius/55 percent XMSR in 2007.
Helfstein bases the higher Sirius forecasts on Ford Motor Co.`s plans to offer Sirius as a factory install option in 2006 and 2007 on up to 20 models of its Ford, Mercury and Lincoln brands. He also believes Sirius could garner 25 percent of Toyota production after news that the company can now offer hardware to support Toyota models at dealers or through its post production centers.


The analyst also included the benefit of advertising revenue in his outlook for both companies. For Sirius, he sees significant value for certain advertisers to identify with the NFL channel or the Howard Stern show. He expects that with former Viacom chief Mel Karmazin taking over as the company`s CEO, "it is reasonable" for the company to pursue advertising and sponsorship opportunities. Based on the assumption that Sirius will increase its retail market share to 50 percent by year-end 2005, Helfstein lowered his XMSR 2005 retail estimate to 2 million gross adds from 2.25 million. He set a $41 price target for XMSR. "Even with multiple contraction, we think 20 percent annual appreciation is still achievable by both companies," Helfstein said.

Chrysler Group`s Customer Demand of SIRIUS Satellite Radio Soars
Monday December 20, 9:05 am ET
- Volumes of over 100,000 SIRIUS-equipped vehicles expected; on pace for over 500,000 Subscribers - Best value in the industry: MSRP of $195 with one year of SIRIUS service included

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Dec. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SIRIUS Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI - News) and the Chrysler Group today announced the completion of the launch of the 2005 model year lineup of Chrysler, Jeep® and Dodge vehicles.

ADVERTISEMENT

"Production rates for 2004 are on-par with our 100,000 unit goal," said Mike Kane, Director, Feature Innovation and Advanced Technology Strategy, Chrysler Group.

Availability on additional Chrysler Group models is anticipated, and total volumes of over 500,000 SIRIUS equipped-vehicles are expected over the next model year.

Starting with the launch of the award winning Chrysler 300 Series and Dodge Magnum in April, 2004, Chrysler Group further instituted factory installations on 13 high-volume vehicle lines for the 2005 model year:

Chrysler 300 Dodge Ram Pickup

Chrysler PT Cruiser Dodge Magnum

Chrysler Town and Country Dodge Dakota Pickup

Chrysler Pacifica Dodge Stratus

Chrysler Sebring Dodge Durango

Jeep Grand Cherokee Dodge Caravan

Jeep Liberty

"This broad and successful factory program is very exciting for SIRIUS, as we build our subscriber base through our exclusive partnership with DaimlerChrysler," said Doug Wilsterman, Senior Vice President of Automotive OEM for SIRIUS. "We are pleased to participate in the continuing offensive from the Chrysler Group."

The Chrysler Group offers the SIRIUS Satellite Radio factory-installed option on 2005 Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge vehicles for $195 MSRP, the best offer in the industry. This price includes a one-year subscription to the full SIRIUS service: 65 commercial-free music channels and 60 channels of news, sports, entertainment, traffic and weather. As an additional customer benefit to Chrysler customers, there is no activation fee to initiate the service after vehicle delivery. Customers may also stream SIRIUS music programming over a high-speed Internet connection at the home or office at no additional charge.

Consumers selecting the SIRIUS Satellite Radio option in their Chrysler, Jeep or Dodge vehicles receive a small, "mouse-like" antenna mounted to the roof of the vehicle. Station selection with the radio is easy, using the same familiar method as selecting an AM or FM station. Consumers can scan channels or select pre-set buttons for their favorite SIRIUS channels. Consumers will also be able to search both by music category and channel, which will be displayed on the radio screen.

"Gefährlich wird es dann, wenn diese Neigung in Leichtsinn umschlägt und Risk-Jockeys immer waghalsigere Rennen bestreiten. Wo diese Grenze verläuft, ist schwer zu erkennen. Wenn jedoch ein Unternehmen wie Sirius Satellite Radio aus den USA mit dem Faktor 140 bewertet ist - wohlgemerkt mit den für 2004 erwarteten Erlösen, Gewinne sind noch lange nicht in Sicht - sollten schon die Alarmglocken schrillen."

from Legg Mason

* For the last several days, the Legg Mason Media Research Team has been
conducting a nationwide telephone survey of major electronics stores to gauge
demand for satellite radio this holiday season. Of the Circuit City and Best
Stores we contacted, an impressive 75% of each told us that satellite radio
sales were coming in ahead of expectations.
* Although it is difficult to know exactly what amount of sales were expected,
we note that about 10% of the stores said that they were entirely sold out of
either XM or Sirius and an additional 5% claimed they were sold out of both.
* Based on our survey results, we believe that Sirius` market share at Best Buy
and Circuit City improved to the 45%-50% range.
* Based on our survey results, we believe that both XM and Sirius have a very
good chance of beating our 4Q04 net add estimates of 626K and 373K, which
result in ending subscribers of 3.14M and 1.04M, respectively (company
guidance is greater than 3.1M and 1M).

Satellite Radio Survey

For the last several days, the Legg Mason Media Research Team has been
conducting a nationwide telephone survey of major electronics stores to gauge
demand for satellite radio this holiday season. While overall retail sales may
not be upsiding estimates, satellite radio demand appears to be very strong. In
our survey, we contacted Circuit City, Best Buy, and RadioShack stores in the
top-25 markets. The primary takeaways are as follows.

Robust Overall Sales

* Of the Circuit City and Best Stores we contacted, an impressive 75% of each
told us that satellite radio sales were coming in ahead of expectations.
* Although it is difficult to know exactly what amount of sales were expected,
we note that about 10% of the stores said that they were entirely sold out of
either XM or Sirius and an additional 5% claimed they were sold out of both.
* Although product shortages mean that sales were left on the table, we believe
that significant supply was in the channel, indicating robust sales this
holiday season.


Market Share

* Of the Best Buy and Circuit City stores we surveyed, about half stated that
they were selling XM and Sirius about 50/50.
* Of the stores that stated one of the satellite radio providers was selling
better, about 55% stated XM and 45% stated Sirius.
* Taken together, these two pieces of data imply that Sirius` retail market
share at the two largest electronics retailers should be in the 45%-50% range
this quarter, which is up slightly from 3Q04.

Devices

* According to the stores we contacted, XM`s SkyFi2 and Sirius` Sportster are
the best-selling devices.
* Several stores also mentioned that the MyFi devices were selling well; one
enthusiastic Best Buy salesperson told us it was "selling insanely well."
* However, 76% of the Best Buy stores and 65% of the Circuit City stores were
sold out of the MyFi radios due to strong demand and the stores that did have
units in stock averaged only 2-3 per store; new shipment volumes and
frequency varied widely by store, but averaged about a half dozen per store
per week.
* Based on our survey results, we believe the MyFi radios have been selling
very well since their introduction in late November; however, limited
quantities may limit some upside sales potential this month.


RadioShack

* Because RadioShack exclusively offers Sirius satellite radio, we include a
separate analysis of our survey here.
* Of the RS stores we contacted, an impressive 94% stated that Sirius sales
were coming in ahead of expectations.
* Due to the strong demand and what we believe may have been supply shortages,
about 60% of RS stores we contacted stated that they were completely sold out
of Sirius radios and that some were keeping a waiting list.
* Importantly, we found the RadioShack salespeople much less knowledgeable
about the product than their counterparts at BB and CC, but attribute part of
that dynamic to the fact that Sirius has only been available at RS for a few
months.

Conclusion

Based on our survey results, we believe that both XM and Sirius have a very
good chance of beating our 4Q04 net add estimates of 626K and 373K, which
result in ending subscribers of 3.14M and 1.04M, respectively (company guidance
is greater than 3.1M and 1M). We also point out that Chrysler`s Group Director
of Feature Innovation and Advanced Technology Strategy recently stated that
more than half of all Jeep Liberty, Chrysler Pacifica, and Chrysler 300 buyers
were signing up for Sirius. While XM will not be announcing its 4Q04 subscriber
results until its presentation at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) on
January 7, Sirius has not disclosed the exact date it will release its results.
Importantly, under its new CEO Mel Karmazin, Sirius has discontinued its
practice of announcing subscribers when it generates 100,000 additional net
adds. As a result, no announcement has been made regarding the company crossing
the 900,000 milestone, which we believe occurred in early December. We believe
an announcement regarding reaching the 1M subscriber mark will likely be made
at Sirius` presentation on January 5 at CES, but could be made prior to that.

SIRIUS Satellite Radio Passes One Million Subscribers
Monday December 27, 8:00 am ET
* SIRIUS` Retail Market Share Continues to Increase
* Car Manufacturers` Programs Contributing to Rapid Growth


NEW YORK, Dec. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SIRIUS Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI - News) today announced that it has surpassed its year-end target of one million-subscribers.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19991118/NYTH125 )
Driven by robust holiday sales and helped by aggressive marketing, advertising, and an increase in consumer awareness, SIRIUS continues to see positive momentum across all channels. The company indicated that sales of its popular portable "Plug & Play" products, especially the SIRIUS Sportster, were contributing to the strong numbers, and that consumers continue to be attracted to the company`s diverse product offering and programming.

"We predicted that we would reach one million subscribers by year-end and we did it," said Mel Karmazin, Chief Executive Officer of SIRIUS. "It`s now clear that consumers are increasingly recognizing the appeal of our programming, including commercial-free music, plus news, weather, traffic, entertainment and the best sports offering in satellite radio."

Reflecting SIRIUS` growing popularity and high level of subscriber satisfaction, the respected auto information site -- Edmunds.com -- recently named SIRIUS as having the best overall programming in satellite radio.

"This recognition from Edmunds.com, combined with recent industry data showing an increase in SIRIUS` retail market share during the holiday season, clearly indicates that we are doing an excellent job of executing on our business plan," added Karmazin.

Besides the Sportster, SIRIUS has "Plug & Play" receivers available from Audiovox, Blaupunkt, Clarion, DISH, JVC, Kenwood, Sanyo and XACT Communication. The Orbiter SIRIUS satellite radio receiver is available at RadioShack stores, and the Streamer, manufactured by Brix, is available at trucks stops and travel centers.

Throughout the football season, the company features SIRIUS NFL Sunday Drive, the programming package that allows subscribers nationwide to hear every NFL game each week, and SIRIUS College Sports Radio, featuring play-by-play coverage of college football and basketball from over 26 top programs around the country. SIRIUS is also home to 65 channels of 100% commercial-free music as well as over 55 channels of news, sports, weather, traffic information, original entertainment and call-in talk shows, all for the great value of $12.95 a month, with no added premiums, and discounts for advance payments of one-year or more.

SIRIUS continues to move ahead with its automotive programs. Today SIRIUS can be found as a factory and/or dealer installed option in vehicles from Audi, BMW, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, Infiniti, Jeep®, Lincoln-Mercury, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, MINI, Nissan, Porsche, Volkswagen and Volvo, and beginning in February 2005, Toyota, Lexus and Scion. Ford recently announced that it will offer SIRIUS as a dealer-installed option in four additional models for a total of 13, and plans to offer SIRIUS as a factory-installed option on up to 21 vehicles over the next two model years.

SIRIUS radios for the car and home beginning at $149 are available at major national retailers such as Best Buy, Circuit City, Crutchfield, Office Depot, RadioShack, Sears, Target, Wal-Mart and over 25,000 retail locations around the country, including DISH Network outlets, as well as many truck stops and travel centers.

Sirius Satellite gegen XM Satellite eintauschen?

Die Banc of America hat heute ihre Verkaufsempfehlung für die Aktie von Sirius Satellite noch einmal bekräftigt. Zwar, so der zuständige Analyst, habe der Anbieter von Bezahl-Radioprogrammen mit dem Moderator Howard Stern einen echten amerikanischen Radiostar für sich verpflichten können. Am Markt sei über diesen Vertrag aber deutlich zuviel Aufhebens gemacht worden. Man dürfe nicht davon ausgehen, dass das Unternehmen in den nächsten Jahren die Gewinnzone erreichen werde.
Stattdessen wurde erneut der Kauf von Aktien des Konkurrenten XM Satellite Radio (Nachrichten) empfohlen. Das Unternehmen habe einige Kooperationen mit Automobilherstellern abgeschlossen, so dass die entsprechenden Receiver in vielen neuen Auto-Modellen gleich mitgeliefert werden können. Hier seien bei den Abonnenten deutliche Zuwachsraten zu erwarten. Obwohl Sirius nach Kunden derzeit deutlich kleiner ist als XM, sei ersteres Unternehmen am Markt mit 9,8 und letzteres nur mit 7,94 Milliarden Dollar bewertet.

Auch wenn ich ja nicht mehr investiert bin und eigentlich auf viel niedrigere Kurse hoffe, hier mal wieder eine positive Meldung:

24.01.2005 17:31:
Merrill Lynch schwärmen von Sirius Satellite

Analysten von Merrill Lynch (Nachrichten) haben ihre Kaufempfehlung für den Anbieter digitaler satellitengestützter Radiodienste Sirius Satellite Radio (Nachrichten) bestätigt und sehen nach wie vor auf Basis einer DCF-Analyste (discounted cash flow) einen fairen Wert der Aktie von $7.50. Eine Investition in die Sirius-Aktie sei basierend auf der Zahl der möglichen Ereignisse, die sich als Impulse für den Aktienkurs erweisen könnten, klar einer Investition in den Sirius-Konkurrenten XM Satellite Radio vorzuziehen. Sirius werde nach Meinung der Analysten von einer wachsenden Absatzzahl von Ford- und Chrysler-Automobilen, der Radioshow mit Howard Stern, neuen 3G-Konsumelektronikprodukten und einem wachsenden Vertrauen der Werbekunden profitieren. Sirius-CEO Mel Karmazin bringe seine jahrzehntelange Erfahrung im Mediensektor ins Unternehmen ein und behalte eine strikte Kostenkontrolle im Unternehmen aufrecht. Für Sirius werde neuer Content nun wichtiger als der reine Vertrieb und die Kundenakquise, so Merrill weiter. So seien die Beziehungen Karmazins im Mediensektor von Vorteil. Die Aktien von Sirius hätten relativ zur Bewertung von XM Satellite auf dem aktuellen Kursniveau von $6.01 ein Aufwärtspotential von 30%, was einem Kurs von ca. 7.80 entsprechen würde, so Merrill weiter.

Sirius Sat.: Keine Fusion mit XM Satellite

Mel Karmazin, CEO des Satellitenradio-Anbieters Sirius Satellite (Nachrichten), hat heute Gerüchte über einen Zusammenschluss mit dem Konkurrenten XM Satellite Radio (Nachrichten) zurückgewiesen. Wie Karmazin ausführte, gebe es keinerlei Kontakte zwischen ihm und der Führungsriege von XM Satellite. Die New York Times hatte zuvor berichtet, die beiden Unternehmen befänden sich in frühen Fusionsverhandlungen.
Karmazin widersprach auch Medien-Berichten, wonach sein Unternehmen den Star-Moderator Howard Stern vorzeitig aus seinem bestehenden Vertrag bei Viacom herauskaufen werde. Es bleibe vielmehr dabei, dass Stern dem Unternehmen erst ab Januar 2006 zur Verfügung stehe.

Sirius Satellite geben im Anschluss an ihr heutiges Zahlenwerk (Börse-Go berichtete) aktuell 1,44 Prozent auf 6,15 Dollar ab. XM Satellite Radio verbilligen sich um 0,43 Prozent auf 32,55 Dollar.

Sirius Satellite "sector perform," estimates reduced

Thursday, January 27, 2005 2:32:07 PM ET
RBC Capital Markets

NEW YORK, January 27 (newratings.com) - Analyst David Bank of RBC Capital Markets maintains his "sector perform" rating on Sirius Satellite (SIRI.NAS), while reducing his estimates for the company. The target price is set to $5.

In a research note published this morning, the analyst mentions that the company reported its 4Q04 EPS short of the estimates on account of higher-than-expected non-cash expenses and weaker-than-anticipated operating results. Sirius Satellite has, however, raised its subscriber target for year-end 2005 from 2.2 million to 2.5 million, RBC Capital Markets says. The EPS estimates for 2005 and 2006 have been reduced from -$0.45 to -$0.56 and from - $0.52 to -$0.57, respectively

Karmazin: Sirius CEO Scoffs At XM Merger, Stern Rescheduling Rumors

Flash: Reckless newspaper reports baseless rumor? Readers were wondering if the New York Post did it again. On Wednesday, the News Corp. (nyse: NWS - news - people ) tabloid reported that Sirius Satellite Radio (nasdaq: SIRI - news - people ) and XM Satellite Radio (nasdaq: XMSR - news - people ) were beginning the dance of merger negotiations. But the Post, every Gothamite`s guilty pleasure, has a colorful history of shooting from the hip: Last year, the newssheet, famed for its "Headless Body Found in Topless Bar" front page, became a darling of eBay (nasdaq: EBAY - news - people ) shoppers when it declared that presidential candidate John Kerry would pick Dick Gephardt as his running mate. (see: "Murdoch: News Corp. Paper Chided On `Gephardt` Gaffe") Sirius Chief Executive Mel Karmazin scoffed at the XM merger report. "I have not met with the chairman or CEO [of XM], so I have no idea where any of this came from," he said on a conference call Wednesday. Previously the president of Viacom (nyse: VIAb - news - people ), Karmazin also tried to quash scuttlebutt that Sirius has been in talks with the media giant about buying out the balance of Howard Stern`s contract. The blue-talk maestro has signed a deal with Sirius to start in January 2006, and rumors have run hot that the satellite broadcaster might try to bring him over sooner. "Because I worked at Viacom, I do have lots of conversations with them all the time," Karmazin said. Nonetheless, he underscored, "our plan right now is that Howard will start with us in January 2006." He did add that Sirius would like to start Stern earlier, if the opportunity should arise. Wednesday also saw Sirius report a wider fourth-quarter loss, citing pricey sports programming and costs from serving a soaring subscriber base. Programming and content expenses rose to $26 million from $8.5 million. Last year, the orbital-radio firm began broadcasting National Football League games under a seven-year, $220 million deal.

Insider-Fall bei Sirius Satellite?

Der US-Kolumnist Chaunce Hayden, der im vergangenen Jahr zu Gast bei einer Radio-Talkshow war, hat eine Vorladung der Börsenaufsicht SEC erhalten. Die Sendung mit dem populären Talkmaster Howard Stern war im vergangenen Herbst ausgestrahlt worden. Einige Wochen später gab Stern seinen Wechsel zu Sirius Satellite (Nachrichten) bekannt. Die Aktie des Anbieters von Abo-Radioprogrammen war daraufhin stark gestiegen. Hayden hatte Sterns Wechsel zu Sirius in seiner Kolumne prognostiziert.
Bei Sirius Satellite ließ man heute bekannt geben, man sehe keinen Zusammenhang zwischen diesem Vorfall und dem eigenen Unternehmen. An der Nasdaq verbilligt sich die Aktie aktuell dennoch um 3,41 Prozent auf 5,67 Dollar.

Howard Stern to get $220 million in Sirius stock
NEW YORK (AP) — Sirius Satellite Radio (SIRI) will give Howard Stern 34 million shares of stock — worth about $220 million at today`s prices — because the company has met agreed-upon targets for gaining new subscribers under its 2004 deal with the shock jock.

In a regulatory filing Thursday, Sirius said its subscriber count as of Dec. 31, 2005, exceeded the target it had agreed upon with Stern in October 2004, when it made a five-year deal with him.
AP
Stern

At the time, Sirius said its deal with Stern would be worth about $100 million per year beginning in 2006. The 34.4 million shares were worth about $110 million then, but the stock has roughly doubled since then.

Stern begins his new show on Sirius on Jan. 9, having left his longtime employer Infinity Broadcasting, which has been renamed CBS Radio, a unit of CBS Corp.

Last month the former president of an accounting firm that Stern used pleaded guilty to insider trading in Sirius shares before the news of Stern`s move to Sirius was made public. Gary D. Herwitz, 50, formerly of Mahoney Cohen & Co., faces up to 16 months in prison at his sentencing in March.

Sirius and its rival, the Washington, D.C.-based XM Satellite Radio Holdings, have been spending heavily to line up programming and lure in subscribers to the paid radio services, which work around the country and carry more than 100 channels of commercial-free music as well as talk programming.

Both services cost $12.95 per month and require special radio receivers.

New York-based Sirius didn`t say what subscriber target it had agreed to with Stern, but it also announced Thursday that it finished 2005 with more than 3.3 million subscribers, compared with 1.1 million at the end of 2004. XM said Wednesday that it now has more than 6 million subscribers.

Shares of Sirius rose 3 cents to close at $6.39 Thursday on the Nasdaq, while XM shares fell 55 cents, or 2%, to close at $27.29.

The Satellite Radio Race

By Rick Aristotle Munarriz (TMFBreakerRick)
January 6, 2006

The inevitable happened. Howard Stern. The NFL. It was too much for XM Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: XMSR) to take. For the first time ever, Sirius Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI) landed more new net subscribers than market leader XM. In dueling press releases, Sirius announced that it had picked up more than 1.1 million new satellite radio fans during the fourth quarter, while XM rounded up "nearly 900,000."

XM fell short of its goal to top the 6-million subscriber mark by the end of 2005, though it has since lapped that mark. It`s the first time that XM came up short on its headcount; in the past, it had to boost user projections.

I should point out that I predicted this would happen 12 months ago. I even nailed the quarter. OK, so in that article I was brilliantly wrong about the fate of other stocks like Apple Computer (Nasdaq: AAPL) and Krispy Kreme (NYSE: KKD). However, I said that "I believe Sirius will sign up more new users in this year`s final quarter than XM." It seemed pretty outlandish then, because Sirius had signed up just 440,000 new subscribers in the final quarter of 2004. That was well off the 700,000 listeners going with XM.

Yes, Stern has earned his keep for Sirius, and he`s still a few days away from taking to the satellite radio airwaves for the first time.

Now the real test becomes how the subscriptions play out as 2006 wears on. Sirius expects to have 6 million total subscribers by the end of the year, while XM is standing by a target of 9 million. In other words, both companies expect to attract 3 million new net subscribers apiece this year. It`s likely to be a tug-of-war all year long.

Sirius is positioned to come out ahead in the first quarter with Stern`s migration. XM has a good chance of regaining the lead in the second and third quarters once the baseball season rolls around. Then Sirius may wrestle the lead right back in the fourth quarter with the NFL.

Naturally, it couldn`t play itself out that easily. At this point, especially coming off its disappointing fourth-quarter subscription numbers, XM needs to announce the kind of industry-shaping content acquisition deal to get its name back out there. Stern has been a shrewd marketer for Sirius, even when he was still shackled to his old contract at Viacom (NYSE: VIA).

Three months ago, XM was recommended to subscribers of the Rule Breakers ultimate growth newsletter service. XM offered -- and still offers -- the cheaper market cap play in satellite radio, and it just happens to be the market leader. Then again, you have to lead by example. Satellite radio will be one of the most compelling growth industries over the next few years. Let`s hope that XM doesn`t squander its lead.

Shares of Sirius Satellite Radio (nasdaq: SIRI - news - people ) could see an uptick in trading volume, as the long-awaited debut of Howard Stern finally arrives on Monday morning. Bear Stearns maintained an "outperform" rating on the stock on Thursday, after Sirius reported fourth-quarter net adds of 1.14 million. "We think the impact of Howard Stern joining Sirius is likely to be seen in the first quarter of 2006." Caris & Company initiated coverage on both Sirius and rival XM Satellite Radio (nasdaq: XMSR - news - people ) with "above average" ratings on Dec. 20. "The main growth engine for revenue is subscribers, which could exceed expectations in our view," the firm said. Caris noted that XM has "first mover advantage" in satellite radio and leads Sirius in hardware development, with three portable devices compared with Sirius`s one device.
