SIRIUS will devote multiple channels to the Papal Visit, presenting
live event coverage and broadcasts, plus historic recordings

SIRIUS Satellite Radio announced today that it will
offer listeners nationwide unprecedented access when His Holiness Pope
Benedict XVI embarks on his first pastoral visit to the United States
from April 15-20, 2008.

SIRIUS’ The Catholic Channel (channel 159) will be the flagship for
coverage of the first visit to the U.S. by a Pope since 1999, providing
hourly updates with the latest news and information on the Pope’s
activities during his visit, live coverage of all the major events, and
more. SIRIUS, in addition to The Catholic Channel coverage, will
dedicate multiple channels to the Pope’s visit, to provide listeners
with simultaneous access to Papal events, commentary, and rare archival
recordings of Masses and speeches from historic Papal visits — which
will include, among others, Pope John Paul II’s 1995 address to the
United Nations General Assembly.
