LAS VEGAS, and NEW YORK - Jan. 8, 2004

(PRNewswire - FirstCall) - SIRIUS Satellite Radio (NASDAQ:SIRI) , known for delivering the very best in commercial-free music and premium sports programming to cars and homes across the country, and Pana-Pacific, a division of the The Brix Group, today announced that a boombox for the popular SIRIUS STREAMER from Pana-Pacific will be available this month at commercial truck dealers and truck stops across the country. The portable boombox is designed to operate with the STREAMER, the transportable SIRIUS receiver from Pana-Pacific, which connects with any existing in-dash radio or home stereo.

Truckers can now take SIRIUS' 60 commercial-free music streams and more than 40 streams of news, entertainment and sports, including NFL, NBA and NHL play-by-pay, everywhere they go.

STREAMER is the only satellite radio receiver that was designed, from start to finish, to provide a complete solution for the unique requirements of the commercial truck driver. The portable STREAMER boombox will retail for $99.95 and will be primarily sold at original equipment manufacturer (OEM) truck dealers and truck stops.

"STREAMER has been very popular with professional truckers seeking a satellite radio product that fits their demanding lifestyle, and the boombox now allows them to bring SIRIUS' premium entertainment, including the SIRIUS Trucking Network, commercial-free music and sports with them wherever they go," said Thomas Steckbeck, Vice President, Non-Automotive OEM and Specialty Markets, SIRIUS. "We believe that the boombox accessory is another valuable addition for those long haulers thirsting for entertainment they can't get anywhere else."

"The combination of STREAMER and SIRIUS is unbeatable for the professional trucker," said John Trenberth, President of Pana-Pacific. "With the boombox, we can offer our customers the flexibility of the STREAMER anywhere, anytime."

Featuring the satellite radio industry's largest display, STREAMER shows the SIRIUS stream name, number, category, artist, song title and time simultaneously. Other special features include a satellite-updated alarm clock with sleep timer, auto shut down and Song Seek, which alerts users when their favorite songs are playing on SIRIUS music streams.

STREAMER moves easily from the truck, home, car or boat with adapter kits. Drivers will appreciate the Professional Vehicle Kit, featuring a quick release mount and wireless FM-transmitter for easy installation and removal without the need for dashboard surgery.

Pana-Pacific is based in Fresno, California and is a leading supplier to the OEM commercial and off-road vehicle market.
