Stern to Join Sirius Satellite Radio
"NEW YORK (AP) - Top-ranked shock jock Howard Stern said Wednesday that he will abandon his syndicated morning radio show to join Sirius satellite radio in 15 months, freeing him from government regulators and allowing him to ``bring my fans my show my way.''
``I've decided what my future is,'' Stern told his millions of listeners in announcing his five-year, multimillion-dollar contract. ``It's not this kind of radio any more.''
Stern, who battled for years with the FCC and conservative critics over his salacious show's content, will move to the national distributor of commercial-free music and sport programming when his contract with Infinity Broadcasting expires in 15 months. The deal will allow him to reach every market in the country.
