SATELLITE RADIO WITH TERRESTRIAL REPEATERS

   Satellite radio broadcaster CD Radio Inc. has begun the deployment of 
its terrestrial repeater network in San Francisco. System testing and 
demonstration of the network is expected to begin in the middle of October.

   Last year, CD Radio was granted one of two U.S. satellite radio 
broadcast licenses. The company is building a satellite-to-car 100 channel 
radio system for the broadcast of music and other programming to motorists 
throughout the U.S.
   As part of its system, CD Radio is installing terrestrial repeaters to 
provide coverage in urban cores where its satellite signals cannot be 
received. Construction of the repeater network will be completed over the 
course of the next 12 months, the company said.
   The majority of CD Radio's planned programming formats are generally 
unavailable on conventional U.S. radio stations. Music channels will be 
commercial-free, unlike conventional stations which interrupt their 
broadcasts with up to 18 minutes of commercials during every hour of music 
programming. [The company forget to mention in their press release that 
their service will not be freely available.]
