Stern Getting Sirius?
Is Howard Stern getting serious, I mean, Sirius? I'm told that Stern visited the offices of Sirius, the satellite radio company, late last week and talked about moving his show onto their system. This would be a brilliant answer to Stern's current problems since he was bounced from six of Clear Channel's major stations for "indecency" on Feb. 25.
His show, thankfully, still runs on stations that belong to Infinity Broadcasting, Stern's syndicate. But Stern has voiced worry that even Infinity will eventually bow to FCC fines and terminate him. Satellite radio is not covered by the FCC or its regulations.
This would be quite a leap forward for Sirius, which prides itself on innovative programming. For example, it recently added a whole channel hosted and produced by Steve Van Zandt, of Bruce Springsteen and "Sopranos" fame, to its roster. Van Zandt's channel is based on his syndicated "Underground Garage" show.
Several times last week Stern talked about satellite radio during his show, but didn't mention that he'd actually had meetings with either system. (He said he'd "talked" to them.) Sirius would get an immediate jump-start of very calculable proportions if Stern joined because his legions of fans would have to get the Sirius system installed in their cars — which is easier than you think. (You can subscribe to it on the Internet, also.)
Because I've rented cars from Hertz in Los Angeles three times in the last month, I've had the experience of listening to Sirius myself, by coincidence. After being held hostage by regular radio for the last 20 years, all I can say is satellite is a breath of fresh air, and Sirius — with stations playing all kinds of music from R&B to Christian to country, and lots of talk (including from Fox News Channel) — is a hit on the verge of breaking big. If Stern takes this turn, he'll be remembered for launching an entire medium. Interesting, no?
