The Federal Communications Commission (or FCC) has been asked to hold off on new policies related to satellite radio in the immediate future. Issues regarding Sirius XM Radio’s HD broadcasts and more are all likely to be pushed aside for now as a result of the order.

Senator Jay Rockefeller and Representative Henry Waxman recently requested that FCC Chairman, Kevin Martin postpone actions regarding satellite radio until the new presidential administration (under Obama) is instituted in the New Year.

Martin’s position on forcing HD compliant satellite receivers and clearing up terrestrial radio interference complaints will now have to be dealt with months from now, a wait that is sure to be difficult for many Sirius XM fans.
