About
Satellite radio is an alternative to terrestrial radio, in the same way that cable or satellite TV are alternatives to broadcast television. Even if you do have satellite radio, there are often times when you want to listen to local radio. Satellite radio is primarily subscription driven and the costs of access equipment are large at present. Satellite radio is just one of an increasing array of audio entertainment choices available to Americans. Rather, the transaction offers a number of potential benefits to consumers, and increases competition. Satellite radio is also a popular option for installation in cars.
