This is the first time I've seen this in print, although I've seen rumours (some of
which I'd started myself) relating to Canada's adopting rules for satellite radio
broadcasting (e.g. Sirius and XM).

From the CBC website:

If licensed by the CRTC, the CBC-Standard-Sirius application will immediately offer
Canadian subscribers across the country approximately 100 digital audio channels,
including more than 60 music, information, sports and other channels from the three
partners. A number of CBC/Radio-Canada stations will also be added to the Sirius
lineup in the U.S., which already includes offerings from BBC World, National Public
Radio and Public Radio International.

With the use of the word "immediately", it appears that Sirius will be using the same
birds for Canadian operation. Doesn't surprise me. But as I say, this is the first
time I've seen it in print.
