"This strong performance firmly positions the company for its 2004 goal of more than 2.8 million subscribers by year's end."

Separately, XM announced today it will launch on April 5 a new political talk channel called America Right (XM Channel 166), formerly called Buzz XM. The channel will feature conservative superstars Bill Bennett, Michael Savage, Michael Reagan and Laura Ingraham among others.
