SkyWaves Research Report Releases New Satellite Radio
28 Sep 2004
SkyWaves Research Report, an Ann Arbor, Mich.-based research
publication covering the satellite radio industry, reported Monday
that satellite radio subscriptions are poised for spectacular
growth as the holiday selling season approaches. In its fall
edition, SkyWaves Research released findings of its quarterly
channel checks and sales estimates, and it published its annual
analysis of current and future relationships between satellite
radio broadcasters and automobile manufacturers. Taken together,
these studies portray an industry that will report vigorous growth
in quarterly and year-end subscribers -- and is likely to enjoy
long-term growth that is still underestimated by many observers.
"Our studies illustrate the enormous potential for accelerating
subscriber gains," said Steve Black, a SkyWaves Research writer.
"Among other things, we see three to four million new vehicles
equipped with satellite radios annually and continually, beginning
in the 2006 model year." Based on its extensive channel checks and
additional analysis, SkyWaves Research estimated that XM Satellite
Radio (NASDAQ: XMSR) would reach a year-end total of 3.32 million
to 3.37 million subscribers, substantially above the company's
conservative guidance. SkyWaves Research also estimated that Sirius
Satellite Radio would reach a year-end total of 955,000 to 980,000
subscribers, and that it could reach its year-end goal of 1 million
subscribers. The conclusions, plus third-quarter subscriber trends
and forecasts, were included in the latest, 52-page edition of
SkyWaves Research, which brings its readers important information,
in-depth analysis and interviews that are not available elsewhere.
This edition also features a breakthrough report and analysis of
the data-delivery capabilities of satellite radio broadcasters,
which represent an underappreciated additional source of revenue.
"It is time to stop thinking about satellite radio as a music
delivery service," Black said. "It is time to start thinking about
it as a service that delivers data in the form of ones and zeros,
some of which happen to produce music." At the same time, SkyWaves
Research is proud to announce an expanded lineup of services to its
subscribers. This includes the recent introduction of the SkyWaves
Research Weekly News Summary (a weekly roundup of satellite radio
developments and commentary, emailed to subscribers each Friday
evening) and an ambitious program of Flash Emails that feature
instant updates and breaking news. A preview of the latest
quarterly report is available at this website link,
