		XM is transforming radio, an industry that has seen little technological change since FM, almost 40 years ago. XM’s programming features 100 coast-to-coast digital channels: 71 music channels, more than 30 of them commercial-free, from hip hop to opera, classical to country, bluegrass to blues; and 29 channels of sports, talk, children’s and entertainment. For the first time on radio XM brings to the car the same diverse selection of news sources available in the home on cable and DIRECTV. (PRNewsFoto) WASHINGTON, DC USA 10/28/2004
