SIRIUS Number One In Retail Market Share In September
- Satellite Radio Broadcaster Captured 56% of Retail Sales According to The NPD Group
- SIRIUS Reaffirms Guidance of Three Million Subscribers by Year-End
10-19-2005
NEW YORK, Oct. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SIRIUS Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI - News) today announced that it captured 56% of satellite radio sales at retail in September, the highest monthly share to date for the satellite radio broadcaster, according to figures released by The NPD Group*.
Over 82,000 SIRIUS tuners were sold in September 2005, a 93% increase over September 2004 SIRIUS tuner sales, and a 52% increase over August 2005 SIRIUS tuner sales.
"This increase in retail market share is extraordinarily positive for SIRIUS, especially given that we are now about to enter the busiest time of the year for us at retail," said Mel Karmazin, CEO of SIRIUS. "We have the strongest programming in all of radio, with great commercial free music, the NFL, Martha Stewart starting soon and Howard Stern coming in January of 2006, and we have innovative and competitively priced new products that are now reaching store shelves. This is an unbeatable combination that should translate into a strong fourth quarter for us."
SIRIUS also reaffirmed that it expects to have 3 million subscribers by the end of this year.
