Howard Stern not in Canada (Toronto Sun)

Howard Stern on Sirius 

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!

Sirius Backstage is reporting that no existing U.S. Sirius channels will get axed in place for the 10 additional Sirius Canada channels.

Many subscribers were concerned that the addition of Sirius Canada would take away channels from the rest of us, but according to information SBS has received, that isn't the case.

Woohoo!

Sirius Canada / Astral Deal

Sirius Canada and Astral Media RadioSome good info on the new relationship between Astral Media Radio and Sirius Canada, and the recently inked deal to provide two French/Canadian channels - Rock Velours and Energie2 (part of the 10 Canadian channels in the Sirius Canada lineup).

In light of Astral’s new relationship with Sirius, you can pretty much bet that CHUM-Astral will now cancel their co-venture.
