History
Sirius first launched on July 1, 2002 and
originally known as CD Satellite Radio. XM Radio was founded
in 1988 as American Mobile Radio Corporation. Satellite service
was officially launched on September 25, 2001.
Sirius made big waves with the hiring of controversial radio host Howard Stern, who left his free radio show to broadcast exclusively on Sirius on January 9, 2006. Stern received a huge deal to join Sirius including 34 million shares of company stock and total compensation of at least $500 million over five years. Stern is credited with bringing a huge audience to Sirius satellite radio.
Sirius completed a merger with XM Radio in 2008.
