SIRIUS, one of the two major satellite radio providers, announced at the here at the CES Show, that it has selected Microsoft’s Windows Media Video 9 for use in it’s mobile video platform.

With services planned to begin in the second half of 2006, Sirius, it is geared to compete with other in-car video systems including DVD, VHS, and other satellite based services. Sirius plans to devote 2-3 channels of premium video content designed primarily for children. Sirius’ automotive partners are eager proponents of the service because of the strong demand for rear seat video entertainment.
