Cowen Slams Goldman on Radio Stocks Analysis [View article]
SatRad will be a great option in case of natural disasters. XM SERVED AS A CRITICAL SOURCE OF INFORMATION BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER HURRICANE KATRINA.One form of communications that continued to operate without interruption during the storm was satellite technology. Satellites are located thousands of miles above the Earth and are thus able to operate even when disasters occur on the ground. With that in mind, when Hurricanes Ivan and Jeanne hit Florida in September 2004,XM launched a new channel -- XM Emergency Alert, Channel 247.On this channel, listeners can receive key survival information such as evacuation routes, shelter locations, and updated weather emergency information for impacted areas.During Hurricane Katrina, XM also established an additional public safety channel, Red Cross Radio, XM Channel 248. This channel provided information pertinent to Red Cross workers in the Gulf Coast region, as well as Red Cross aid stations in Houston and other cities, as they assisted in the relief effort. Again, as with XM Channel 247, Red Cross Radio was available to anyone with an XM receiver without the need to pay a subscription fee. These words were copied and pasted here from a Letter to the FCC from John Archer Vice President, Operations XM Satellite Radio Inc.
