Question

Does Sirius Satellite Radio have to identify themselves with a legal id every hour like other radio stations?

Answer 1

No they don't because the same rules that apply to regular ground transmitters don't apply to satellite radio.  The FCC does govern them, so to the answerer above, this is incorrect.  They are required to have SDARS licenses to operate and those come from the FCC.  The FCC does regulate them, but not as much as regular radio.

Answer 2

nope...Satelite radio is not governed by the FCC
