A very cool new feature for satellite radio fans is now available!

Sprint PCS / NEXTEL subscribers can now pay just $ 6.95 to get Sirius Music on their multimedia technology phones. Twenty channels of commercial-free music are available, and Sprint PCS Vision subscribers can now enjoy 20 channels of original, commercial-free SIRIUS music that play an incredible variety of music. There’s even a channel dedicated to headlining artist interviews and offering exclusive content, like guest performances.

Sirius has censored some music stations because of this agreement with Sprint, although they are not required by law, they have chosen to do so. However, there are quite a few regulations that Sprint must adhere to regarding its service. Unfortunately, this has affected Sirius Satellite Radio listeners.
