Doctor Radio is a groundbreaking concept: a 24/7 radio channel
featuring dozens of expert clinicians and researchers hosting live call-in
shows from its studio at the Medical Center. It's real doctors helping real
people. Doctor Radio will provide expert information, news, and fascinating
stories from the world of health and medicine delivered firsthand by the
New York University medical professionals on the front lines of advancing
medicine, discussed conversationally and interactively with SIRIUS
listeners.

Doctor Radio will delve into topics that matter to millions of
Americans, including general health and wellness; child psychiatry; sexual
health; plastic surgery; cancer; pediatrics; heart health; men's and
women's health; sports injuries; dermatology; autism and ADHD; and
emergency medicine. SIRIUS' Doctor Radio hosts from NYU Langone Medical
Center include renowned psychiatrists, heart surgeons, emergency care
specialists, cardiologists, a police surgeon, as well as physicians who
specialize in issues specific to men, women and children.

SIRIUS and NYU have built a state-of-the-art broadcasting studio in the
lobby of the Manhattan-based NYU Langone Medical Center to be the broadcast
home of Doctor Radio, bringing listeners right into the middle of the
medical world. Doctors are minutes from the O.R., the E.R., and seeing
patients, and can often be seen performing their radio shows in scrubs.

Going even further into the world of medicine, in the coming weeks, as
part of a special series called "Sounds of the Hospital," Doctor Radio will
take listeners inside the operating room during open heart surgery. The
series will also feature a night in Bellevue Hospital's emergency
department, one of the busiest in New York City, as well as allow people to
listen in and learn from a family in crisis at the NYU Child Study Center.

"Doctor Radio offers listeners a rare level of contact and
communication with New York University School of Medicine physicians and
scientists," said Robert I. Grossman, M.D., Saul J. Farber Dean and CEO of
NYU Langone Medical Center. "We are so pleased to partner with SIRIUS on
Doctor Radio. We will greatly expand the reach and impact of our academic
medical center, and the medical information people have access to, as
SIRIUS helps us connect daily to millions of diverse listeners across the
country."

"Doctor Radio is a revolutionary concept: leading-edge medicine paired
with leading-edge media," said Scott Greenstein, SIRIUS' President, Sports
and Entertainment. "Top physicians are just a phone call away, able to
deliver immediate and insightful medical information and knowledge relevant
to our listeners, their families and friends who may never otherwise get
this unique access to the highest echelon of doctors."

Below is a selection of weekly programs listeners will hear on Doctor
