It is radio, and it is over the airwaves, it's just that the transmitter is on a satellite in geostationary orbit rather than on a broadcast tower. It uses digital encoding, and a different frequency spectrum, but it's otherwise pretty similar to taditional radio. XM and Serius even use terrestrial broadcast tower repeaters in dense markets to boost their signal strength.
