XM Says FCC Seeks More Information About Radio Emissions

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on August 11, 2006 - 1:03pm.
Washington - More than three months after first learning that some of its radios were not in compliance with federal emissions standards, XM Satellite Radio, a provider of satellite radio service to more than 7 million subscribers, said on Friday that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has requested additional information about several of the devices. The company said that the FCC is seeking "the chronology and circumstances leading to the non-compliance, and actions and remedies undertaken to correct the situation." XM said that it will respond promptly, and has implemented a program to bring its radios into compliance. Yesterday, rival Sirius Satellite Radio -- which was also notified by the FCC of emissions violations by some of its radios -- said that at least one manufacturer had re-started production of the radios in question after alterations had passed FCC approval.
