In 2006, we launched a marine weather service, featuring on-demand access to detailed information ranging from weather and wave heights to sea surface temperatures, for recreational boaters. The service integrates data information directly into certain marine electronics products. This marine weather service covers the 48 contiguous states and waters extending hundreds of miles into the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean. 10 SIRIUS Via Mobile Phones. In September 2005, Sprint began offering a SIRIUS music service to its subscribers through a built-in media player on Sprint PCS Vision SM Multimedia Phones for $6.95 per month, a portion of which we receive.

Subscribers to SIR are included in our subscriber counts. DISH Network. We offer our music channels to subscribers as part of certain programming packages of the DISH Network satellite television service. Video.
