Sirius XM has launched a free application in the Apple App Store that will allow iPhone and iPod touch users to access the satellite radio company's some 120 audio channels. The satcaster also plans to make available its expanded Internet content, including some of its new and popular showcase channels, created just for Internet users.

"Getting Sirius XM's programming on your iPhone or iPod touch is now convenient and easy," said CEO Mel Karmazin. "The Sirius XM app allows new and existing subscribers to access great music, talk and sports almost anywhere they go. For millions of users, the best radio on radio is now the best audio content on their iPhone or iPod touch."

Users of iPhone and iPod touch with an Internet subscription will have access to exclusive sports and entertainment programming, including Oprah Radio, MLB Home Plate, Martha Stewart Living Radio, Sirius NFL Radio, NHL Home Ice, PGA TOUR, Opie & Anthony, Mad Dog Radio with Chris Russo and Playboy Radio.

Some select programming, including MLB play-by-play, NFL play-by-play, Sirius NASCAR Radio and Howard Stern, will not be available on the iPhone and iPod touch. Listeners will continue to be able to access that programming through the platforms they are currently offered on.

There is no additional charge for listening to Sirius XM's programming on the iPhone or iPod touch once a user becomes a Sirius XM Internet subscriber or subscribes to the company's premium online service in conjunction with their satellite radio subscription.
