In a move that will surely help increase their subscriber base, Sirius Satellite Radio issued a press release today stating that Sirius will be available as a factory-installed option on the 2006 BMW 3-Series starting in the Summer of 2005.

Available for an MSRP of $595, the factory-installed option includes a one-year pre-paid subscription to the service.

Currently available as a factory-installed option on the 2005 5-Series, 6-Series and 7-Series models; Sirius Satellite Radio is only available as a dealer-installed option on the remaining BMW model lineup.

Forbes.com reports that Office Depot is set to resell Sirius Satellite Radios through their 900 U.S. stores.

Calling the move a complement to its existing small-business offerings Office Depot also said it will carry a palm-sized Sirius radio and related accessories.

Shade 45, set to debut next Thursday, October 28th, is Sirius Satellite Radio's latest offering by none other than rapper Eminem.

The new, uncensored hip-hop radio channel created by Eminem, Shady Records, and Interscope Records will feature a full lineup of on-air hosts and DJs, including Eminem's DJ: Green Lantern.

Paul Rosenberg, Eminem's manager and VP of Shady Records, commented, "This is a great kickoff for Shade 45. Giving subscribers the chance to hear everything that's happening at the Shady National Convention as it takes place is exactly the reason we partnered with Sirius. It's uncensored, exclusive, and different from anything else out there."

Sirius Satellite Radio just issued a press release stating that the World Series matchup between Boston Red Sox and St. Louis Cardinals will air on ESPN Radio, Channel 120.

Unfortunatly, this isn't necessarily exclusive content as XM Satellite Radio also has the 2004 World Series on ESPN Channel 140.
