Abstract
A method and system for communicating satellite digital radio program information for multiple satellite channels is provided. The method includes the steps of providing multiple satellite signals, and providing multiple data frames in each of the satellite signals. The method also includes the steps of providing frame synchronization symbols in each of the data frames, such that the frame synchronization symbols occurring in the satellite signals do not overlap in time with each other. The method also includes the steps of providing multiple data slots within each of the data frames, and providing satellite program information in at least one of the data slots in each data frame. The multiple data slots are positioned within each data frame relative to the frame synchronization symbol of that data frame, such that the data slots containing satellite program information in the multiple satellite signals do not overlap in time with each other.
