NEW YORK (Oct. 6) - Top-ranked shock jock Howard Stern says he is leaving Infinity Broadcasting Corp. to join Sirius satellite radio, beginning in January 2006, where he'll get the national audience he has coveted.

Stern announced Wednesday that he has signed a five-year, multimillion dollar contract with Sirius, a national distributor of commericial-free music and sport programming. Stern will be heard in every market across the country, according to a joint statement from Stern and Sirius.

Stern's show corners the radio market among males 18-49 years of age and ranks No. 1 in many of the 46 major markets where his show is broadcast.

"It has been my dream to have the top-rated show in radio since I was five years old," Stern said in a statement. "Sirius - the future of radio -will take this dream to a whole new level as I bring my fans my show my way. It will be the best radio they will ever hear."

Sirius CEO Joseph P. Clayton said, "Signing Howard Stern is, without a doubt, the most exciting and transformational event in the history of radio.

Sirius is getting serious on their programming. They have the NFL package and some great stations. My friend has it and they seem to have better programming than XM.......although I'm not ready to give up my XM yet.;)

O & A on XM and now Stern on Sirius. Radio taking a new direction.....
The stock (Sirius) was so active this morning.
It was up over a buck (over 30%) on early pre trading....
Has since leveled off but the volume on it so far is almost 10X what it usually trades in a day.

I've said for a long time that Satellite Radio is the future.
XM and Sirius are virtually the same except that Sirius has a much better sports package.

I expect XM to follow with the same.........I hope.:(

Stern Should Go Out To Pasture !!

INDEED "YR".....certainly NOT a mere coincidence.

[Delirious Nomad]

Sirius was is "serious" trouble.
With XM getting O&A, they HAD to do something bold.

Not sure it will do them much good, but it is their stab at getting them out of a hole.

Time will tell.....

Yeah...I think that, too.
Even though Satellite Radio is already the future, Stern will try to take credit for it's success somewhere down the line.
:rolleyes:

Stern will be well past his prime in 15 months. O & A were the first to go to satellite and they're with a great company, THAT'S the future of radio.
