NEW YORK - October 20, 2005 - SIRIUS Satellite Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI) today announced that Oxygen Network's resident "sexpert," Sue Johanson, will bring her hit television show, Talk Sex with Sue Johanson, one of Oxygen's most top-rated shows, to SIRIUS Stars, channel 103 Sunday nights from 9 pm to 1 am ET starting October 23, 2005.

The program bolsters SIRIUS' expanding programming lineup for women, which includes Martha Stewart Living Radio, Cosmopolitan (Magazine) Radio, Richard Simmons and now Sue Johanson.  Her huge fan base will now be able to learn and laugh with her while they are in their cars and all over the country with SIRIUS Satellite Radio.

 "Sue is a luminary in the world of sex therapy. Her talk show has the perfect balance of humor and intelligence which will be a great resource for our listeners," said Scott Greenstein, SIRIUS President of Entertainment and Sports. "The addition of Talk Sex is a testament to SIRIUS' commitment of providing our female audience with the best talent and programming in all of radio."

"I am thrilled that Americans have an additional opportunity to experience Talk Sex. I first started in radio 20 years ago and now I feel I have come full circle by joining the SIRIUS family," says Sue Johanson. "SIRIUS is innovative and recognizes the need for straight-talking radio. I love what I do and look forward to continuing the show with Oxygen and SIRIUS."

As a registered nurse and venerable leader in sex education and counseling, Johanson's mix of humor and candid, practical advice about love and sex has made Talk Sex one of Oxygen's most popular programs.
