XM Sees No Delay in Service

The delayed launch of a satellite for XM Satellite Radio will take place at the end of February.
It had been set for this week, but its countdown was halted when a “possible minor out-of-specification condition” was detected on the bird.
The company said the condition turned out to be within specifications and that the satellite is in “excellent health.”
Also as a result of the rescheduling of XM’s first satellite, the launch of its second is now planned for mid-April. XM still plans to roll out its service to listeners this summer.
At a trade show in Las Vegas this week, the company unveiled 24 models of XM-ready radios produced by six manufacturers.
