American Indian Radio on Satellite (AIROS) is a Native American radio service. AIROS has recently decided to change their name to the AIROS Radio Network for branding purposes because few AIROS programs are on the new and popular satellite channels like Sirius and XM Satellite Radio. AIROS was founded in 1992 and plans to continue its service to Indian Country into the foreseeable future. AIROS is well known in Indian communities for providing authentic Native American music, news, entertainment, interviews and discussions of the current issues in Indian Country and the world. It serves an international distributor of Native American programming through the Public Radio Satellite System. AIROS provides a 24X7 live stream as well as being broadcast on most of the 33 Native American stations across the country. The AIROS audience is unique because of its diversity due mainly to the locations of Native Americans across the country and throughout the world. Radio provides a means for reaching this widespread audience that is not met by any other form of media. AIROS is a service of Native American Public Telecommunications, a non-profit organization whose mission is to support the creation, promotion and distribution of Native American public media.
