Howard Stern is doing a photo shoot today for the cover of Newsweek in an upcoming issue. Howard 100 News will be there with behind the scenes goodies - tune in at 6PM today for all the action.

Also, Howard will be making the rounds as the countdown nears the end. He'll be on 60 minutes this Sunday December 4th, and making an appearance on Saturday Night Live on December 17th (the day after he goes off the air in terrestrial).

UPDATE: The NY Post reports that Stern talked to Katie Couric last week in a pre-taped interview for the "Today" show set to air next Monday. In it he discusses his 2001 divorce with Alison Berns.

There's a great article in the Wall Street Journal today that profiles Howard Stern's Video On-Demand Executive Producer Doug Goodstein.

Gives some great insight into the steps needed to put together all the content for this new program.

A very nice read, go check it out.

This is just blogging gold people. Anytime you see the words: Oral, Strippers, Lesbians, Midgets, and Shaving Ryan's Privates (a personal favorite) in a job posting, you just have to write about it. The Howard Stern Channel on Sirius is looking to fill a Production opening available, so get in there and send in your demo if you've got the skills.

This article by the Hollywood Reporter has additional details on Howard Stern's In Demand deal. Definitely a good read if you didn't catch it over the holiday weekend.

An interesting thing to note is that In Demand won't be covering the Sirius Satellite Radio programming until March 2006. During now and April 1st the cost will be $9.95, until the Sirius programming goes "live" - then the price gets bumped to $13.95. I guess I'll have to officially fall on my sword about my theory that Stern's In Demand deal might canabalize Sirius Satellite Radio subscriptions - they're different markets, with VoD being more of a suplimental product than a replacement - and I'd now bet that Sirius is getting a rev-share deal out of it. Win-win.

UPDATE: You're looking at an old post from November 2005. If you want to see video of Stern's latest appearance on Letterman, then just go here.

Get Sirius Info has some great pics and even some audio of Howard Stern on David Letterman last night. He didn't unveil any new satellite radio receivers, but he did talk about his move to Sirius and had the numbers 1-9-06 on his sweatshirt. GSI also throws out the question as to whether the logo on Howard's arm is the new Howard 100 Channel logo (expected to be talked about last night).

Very cool stuff indeed, go visit Get Sirius Info and listen to the audio clips if you missed it.

UPDATE: If you're looking for a BitTorrent of last night's Letterman show, you can grab it here. 

The Toronto Sun's recent article, Stern can't beam here on radio, explains exactly why Howard Stern won't be carried Sirius Canada when he makes the jump to partner company Sirius Satellite Radio in January. Apparently when Howard had debuted in Canada back in 1997, he said "the French should bend over for me the way they did for Hitler," and that didn't make the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council very happy. As a result of this fallout, it's inevitable that the CRTC would force Sirius Canada to remove Stern from the airwaves.

Thanks David! 

I completely agree with this Audio Graphics article - Infinity needs to cut their losses and take Howard off the air if they hope to not make a media frenzy out of this. He's totally gaming them like he did the FCC, and suspending him for a day will only make the matter worse. Doesn't their PR dept know this? Infinity, no matter what, is going to be losing out in this deal - it's now just a matter of managing that loss.

HowardStern.com (as well as MarksFriggin) reports that Infinity has issued a one-day suspension to Howard Stern for talking about Sirius Satellite Radio too much on the air. Supposedly the Stern was notified by K-rock General Manager Tom Chiusano after today's show that he was being suspended for Tuesday.

Howard 100 News is also saying that Stern is not willing to give Infinity any 'Best of Stern' tapes to play tomorrow morning while he's suspended.

UPDATE: Billboard Radio Monitor and FMQB have a little more on this, as does Crain's New York Business.

Sirius CEO Mel Karmazin said he wants to buy ?a whole bunch? of advertising on Howard Stern?s terrestrial radio show, but Infinity stations ?haven?t accepted it yet.? Infinity responded, “it’s up to the individual station.”

With Infinity buying up all of Ad Age magazine’s ads - all 24 pages worth - to promote their “Free FM” crap, I see no reason why any of the Infinity stations would balk at a little extra ad revenue. Afterall, with “Free FM” you get a whole lot of “free commercials” don’t you?

UPDATE: Apparently Mel was just kidding. Jim Collins, VP of Corp Communications at Sirius said, ?he was just joshing. It was a joke.?
