WorldSpace Sets Up Gift Program for Military

Now you can send your favorite soldier a satellite radio. WorldSpace is playing up the potential appeal of its new subscription services (see story above) to U.S. military personnel outside of the United States.
Families and friends of troops can purchase and send receivers and subscriptions as gifts by visiting the company’s Web site.
Wilson Baker Jr., the company’s senior vice president of the government sales unit, said in a statement, “As a former member of the military, I know how important a connection to home can be for so many. Familiar songs and voices can go a long way for morale as well as immediate connection to breaking world news.”
He said the company has been working with military exchanges to offer receivers for sale to members of the military.
