Howard Stern on Sirius Canada Next Year - Report

Wednesday, 14 December 2005

Will Howard Stern be included on the Sirius Canada line-up? As of right now it's a no, but Digital Talk Central reports they have reliable information that Stern will be on the newly launched Canadian satellite radio provider next year.

Howard Stern, the self-proclaimed "King of All Media" may be on top of the game when it comes to US satellite radio, but in Canada, he's been placed on the bench.

When Sirius Canada announced its channel line-up for the Canadian launch, they also had some bad news, well, bad news if you happen to be a Stern fan. Sirius currently has 100 channels available Canada, but Howard Stern will not be beamed into Canada on the Sirius Canada service.

The move to exclude Stern on the Canadian network will likely cause dedicated Canadian Howard Stern fans to purchase US subscriptions and receivers. That's not a "Good Thing" for the Canadian service when the main event with all its hype is blocked. However, Digital Talk Central has an industry scoop.

According to well placed sources in the industry talking with Digital Talk Central on the condition of annonyminity, we can report that Howard Stern is expected to be included on the Sirius Canada service in the spring of 2006.

So, what's the full meal deal?

First of all, we'd like to make it clear that this is just a rumour (advice from our legal team) and this "exclusive" rumour has not been confirmed by Sirius Canada.
