Sirius Satellite Tops 700,000 Subscriber Mark |
||
NEW YORK, Oct. 20/Satnews Daily/ — Sirius (NASDAQ:SIRI) said it has surpassed 700,000 subscribers, and remains on track to achieve one million subscribers by the end of the year.
Sirius said it passed the 700,000 mark on October 18, helped by its best month ever on record in September with over 69,000 subscribers.
"Sirius acquired over 69,000 subscribers in September, beating our previous record for monthly subscriber growth," said Joseph P. Clayton, Sirius CEO.
He said the new subscriber mark is the result of the launch of more factory programs with its 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.
The other day, Sirius and Ford 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.
