 Sirius Radio Information - Sirius Satellite Radio   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Sirius Satellite Radio is an all digital satellite radio provider, currently broadcasting over 120 steaming satellite radio channels of music, news, talk and audio entertainment from coast to coast in the United States.
Satellite radio in the United States was born in 1992 when the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) allocated a spectrum in the "S" band (2.3 GHz) for nationwide broadcasting of satellite-based Digital Audio Radio Service (DARS).
The 3 satellites slowly orbit the Earth approximately 100 degrees apart and employ a "hand-off" method, meaning that only 2 of the 3 satellites are active at any given time to avoid interference as Sirius is only allocated 2 different frequencies.

 Digital Audio Radio Satellite   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
These include introduction of a new radio service to the public, a national distribution of radio programming to all areas, including underserved and unserved areas and population groups, the creation of jobs and the promotion of technological development in the satellite and receiver industries, and the improvement of U.S. competitiveness in the international economy.
Satellite DARS may also be able to foster niche programming because it can aggregate small, nationally dispersed listener groups that local radio could not profitably serve.
Coordination between satellite DARS and Fixed Service systems (FS) is required because the power levels at which the applicants propose to operate their systems to achieve sufficient quality service in a mobile environment are higher than the thresholds levels which have triggered on-going bilateral coordination with adjacent countries.

 [No title]
Although the radio broadcasting service has some of its own special characteristics, such as one way communication, overall there is a great deal of combined applicability as far as engineering techniques are concerned between it and the mobile satellite service.
A key item in much of the CD Radio pioneer's preference documentation is its planned use of satellite space diversity--that is, two satellite platforms separated in this case by 30 degrees in geostationary orbit broadcasting the same program to all points in its coverage area.
Thus, no matter what probability increment is added to a single satellite system's urban and suburban reception availability by introducing a second satellite with diversity geometry, it still will not eliminate enough of the gaps in coverage within the planned broadcast coverage contour from the satellite(s).

 Fanfare FM - DAB Digital Radio News
The concept of 'digital radio' (DAR) while it may be in the back of every broadcasting executive's mind right now, is certainly not in evidence anywhere else, such as 'on-air' personnel singing the "I can't wait to sound like a CD" song.
While the proliferation in digital transmission technology will no doubt develop a software solution for decoding of digital signals arriving on different wave bands, it's the frequency at which the signal is being transmitted that will, no doubt, draw the most concern for reception reliability.
Because digital technology has only been used recently in the recording industry, many compact disk recordings are made from from tapes and transcriptions, all of which were recorded originally in analog.

 Local Emergency Radio Service Preservation Act of 2004
(5) Because radio receivers are universally available and frequently battery-powered or located in automobiles, the Federal Communications Commission's Media Security and Reliability Council concluded that `radio broadcasters are likely to be the last line of defense for communicating with the public under extremely adverse conditions that could result in the event of a local disaster'.
(7) Because radio programming is supported by advertising, the ability of local stations to continue to provide local news and other services and to ensure communications during emergencies could be jeopardized by a diversion of the listening audience away from local radio programming.
