Sirius adds NPR to Internet Radio Streams

Sirius and NPR announced earlier today that they have created a new channel, only available on Sirius Internet Radio, that collects select NPR programming and makes it available to SIR subscribers. http://www.sirius.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Sirius/Page&c=Channel&cid=1186052421026

Sirius describes the channel as follows…

NPR SIR-1 offers in-depth news, features, and entertainment produced and assembled by NPR for SIRIUS Internet Radio. Featuring public radio favorites like Talk of the Nation, Day to Day, Marketplace and the Diane Rehm Show as well as new productions from independent producers and public radio stations nationwide.

This is a great add for users of wi-fi enabled radios like the Stilletto (although early reports are some are having trouble getting it on the Stilletto).

Thanks to member, dlnester for the find!!

  4. One other point...this indicates a new willingness for Sirius to
    1) offer internet only programming. Maybe "retired" channels can end up here, like they do on XM, and
    2)pursue internet rights for non-in-house programming. Let hope it's a trend, not an anomoly! by RoadRunner

    That's great to hear. I remember when Alex Bennett and Lynn Samuels were the only shows carried on the Sirius Left stream. by Chob
  8. I'm wondering; does the Stiletto need a ZAP update to show this station on INTERNET PREMIUM? by YYZScubaDiver
  9. I was wondering the same thing as I'm not showing the NPR channel on my Stiletto. I tried shutting down and restarting but nothing.

    Is anyone else having this problem? by SiriusSD
  10. Im having the same problem anyone found a solution yet? by Chris245
  11. The Sirius page says nothing about the Stiletto getting NPR online... I hope a future addition, but it doesn't say you can get it now. by dlnester

    I got a raging bone after getting this news! by blyons200
  13. This overall is really good news. I hope they work on adding more programming throughout the next few month to build on the schedule, but it is great to see this arrive on the service. by unoriginal
  14. I wish that they would put a npr all news station on the satalite radio. by steelbreezzz
