Sirius Satellite Radio is finally streaming CNN through their online internet radio service to subscribers. Of course Sirius also broadcasts CNN on their regular satellite radio service as well (ch 132). Regular Sirius subscribers, as well as Sirius Internet Radio (SIR) subscribers get to receive the CNN channel online. While Sirius airs CNN Headline News on its satellite radio service (ch 133) and CNN en Espanol on channel 182, neither CNN Headline News or CNN en Espanol are available online yet.
Still this is great news as news channels are severely lacking on the online offering of both satellite radio services.

Still waiting for XM to put their talk channels online...I'm sure there are some kind of legal issues involved, but it sure would be nice.

Alot of it has to do with the distribution agreements, and whether the channels already have streaming online radio stations of their own. Sirius/XM can't be seen as competition to something that already drives direct revenue. That's why you don't see MLB or NFL offered online.
But yes, I agree - the more channels online, the better in my opinion.
