Sirius radio coming to Sprint phones

Sirius Star Mate

Well, XM has been in talks with cellphone carriers , but it looks like Sirius is the first to make an official announcement: they're partnering with Sprint to supply music channels to Sprint PCS customers. There aren't too many details at this point, with plans to be unveiled later in the year — all we really know is they're looking at channels "new hits, classic rock, hip-hop, country and blues." The cost of the channels will be included in Sprint's package to consumers, as opposed to being made available separately by Sirius. All of this marking another chapter in the push to get content flowing beyond merely the subscribers who want to pony up for the satellite receiver equipment.
