Fox Rejoins Sirius Line Up

By Digital Trends Staff Updated October 25, 2009

Sirius Satellite Radio and Fox News Radio today announced a new long term agreement to bring Fox’s news talk radio style programming back to the satellite radio provider’s line up of channels. The previous agreement had expired at end of 2005.

Under the terms of the new relationship, the two organizations said, Fox News rejoins the Sirius line up at channel 131. The Fox News Talk channel, which offers news, analysis, listener call-ins, and commentary from Fox News personalities such as Bill O’Reilly, Tony Snow, John Gibson and Alan Colmes, among others, will air on channel 145.

“We are very pleased to have reached an agreement with Fox to bring back its news service to Sirius and to add what is a compelling talk channel,” said Scott Greenstein, Sirius President of Entertainment and Sports, in a statement. “Our goal was to negotiate a new agreement that would be in the best interest of our subscribers and shareholders, and the new agreement fulfills that objective.”

Nakamichi’s wild Dragon 11.4.6 Dolby Atmos soundbar goes up for preorder this week

Nakamichi Dragon soundbar with subwoofers and Omni Motion Reference surrounds.

Nakamichi's epic Dragon 11.4.6 Dolby Atmos soundbar, which debuted at CES 2023, is about to go up for preorder starting at 9 a.m. PT on April 26. But instead of the usual preorder process, Nakamichi has decided to make the first Dragons off the line limited editions. Officially, it will be called the Nakamichi Dragon 11.4.6 Home Surround Sound System 75th Anniversary World Premiere Edition, and only 500 will be made.

Nakamichi has set the price at $3,499. That includes free shipping, but apparently only to U.S. residents. In a footnote on the preorder site, it says that Nakamichi initially planned to offer international shipping too, but had to reevaluate those plans after it discovered the logistics company it's using (eBay’s Global Shipping Program, for some reason) has a maximum weight and dollar value threshold, which the Dragon exceeds by almost $1,000. I guess some dragons don't fly.

There’s no catch, sign up to Sling Freestream to watch live TV content for free

This content was produced in partnership with Sling TV.

It is honestly one of the better ways to modernize your traditional programming, meaning you can ditch the conventional cable TV subscription and opt for Sling TV's plans with a whole lot more flexibility. For example, if you're going on a road trip you can always pick up watching, right from where you left off, on a mobile device, tablet, or laptop.

Now, thanks to a new service called Sling Freestream you'll be able to watch live TV, shows, movies, and much more totally free -- no credit card necessary. At this point, you're probably wondering what's the catch? Well, there is no catch, it's free, always will be free, and you can start watching right now, or later if you prefer. We'll dig into some of the finer details below, like what channels are available and what content to expect, but for now, you can head over to Freestream to begin watching any time you're ready.

Sling Freestream is Sling's relatively new, ad-supported TV service that allows you to watch content for free, no credit card necessary. Through the service, you can access over 210 free live TV channels, including AMC Thrillers, MTV Pluto, Buzzr, Fail Army, The Grapevine, iFC Films, and much much more. Plus, you can stream over 40,000 on-demand movies and shows with fan favorites like The Walking Dead, Hell's Kitchen, or Bob Odenkirk's latest Lucky Hank. Odenkirk plays the freewheeling lawyer Saul Goodman in Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad.

Denon snaps up Nura, says new personalized-sound earbuds arriving this year

NuraTrue Pro.

In something of a surprise move, Denon -- a brand best known for its AV receivers -- has acquired Nura, the Australian maker of headphones and earbuds that tune themselves to a wearer's personal hearing capabilities. Denon intends to incorporate Nura's technology into its next set of wireless earbuds, which it says will be available in mid-2023. The news comes less than a year after the equally surprising news that Denon's owner, Sound United, had been acquired by Masimo, a global medical technology company. The terms of the Nura acquisition were not released.
