MediaBuyerPlanner: Sirius Satellite Radio plans to launch an online radio subscription service, dubbed Sirius Internet Radio Plus, for a subscription price of $12.95 per month for the base package.
The service will allow users to hear music played at CD quality – including music channels and select talk channels – at 48kps (the current free Sirius internet radio service offers streaming audio at a mere 32kps), according to Orbitcast.
Existing subscribers can upgrade to SIR Plus for an additional $2.99 a month. No additional channels will be available through the service, which is simply an upgrade in sound quality.
