WEBWIRE

Washington D.C., March 29, 2006 -- XM Satellite Radio and In Style are partnering to bring inspiring celebrity fashion, beauty and lifestyle content of the magazine to the more than six million XM subscribers across the country. New short form programming entitled, “In Style Magazine - Inspire Your Style” recently began airing on “Take Five,” (XM channel 155), XM’s talk and lifestyle channel for women.

“We are so excited to be able to bring the pages of our magazine to life for the millions of XM listeners,” said Charla Lawhon, managing editor, In Style. “Our goal is to provide quick inspiration and information to the XM Satellite Radio audience.”

Two to four original ’Inspire Your Style’ segments air each weekday throughout the day on Take Five, as well as other talk and news channels across the XM programming platform. Drawing from In Style’s award-winning pages, service topics are also provided from the brand’s special Weddings, Home and Makeover issues, hardcover books and InStyle.com website. In addition, listeners will soon hear In Style editors as frequent guests on original XM-produced programs such as, “Broadminded,” one of Take Five’s signature talk programs airing weekdays from 5-7 p.m. ET.

“Both In Style and XM Satellite Radio share a mission to create innovative and informative entertainment content for women, and XM’s Take Five channel is a perfect place to bring to life the fresh editorial offered in the pages of In Style Magazine,” says Amy Reyer, director of women’s programming, XM Satellite Radio. “Thanks to our partnership with In Style, we at XM will have even more unique and engaging programming to share with our rapidly expanding female audience.”
