Satellite radio originated from the need for a more reliable and expansive broadcasting medium beyond traditional AM and FM radio. The concept gained traction in the 1990s, leading to the launch of the first satellite radio services, such as Sirius Satellite Radio and XM Satellite Radio, in the early 2000s. These services utilized satellites to transmit signals directly to receivers, allowing for nationwide coverage and a diverse array of channels. The technology has since evolved, providing listeners with commercial-free music, Talk Shows, and various specialized content.
