Forgetting about any fancy monikers, here's the news bits for October 11, 2006:
- Howard Stern is the most searched talk personality online, according to Lycos. I don't doubt that Stern is popular online, I just doubt any search data based on Lycos results. [Press Release]
- Sirius Canada asks the CRTC for a license change. They'd rather pay Canadian talent in advance rather than 5% annually. [Digital Home Canada]
- Arbitron sues The Media Audio and Ipsos over patent infringement. Arbitron says they've been developing the PPM for 15 years, and they "will work aggresively" to protect it. [FMQB]
- The Fool thinks XM got it right with its fall marketing push. I tend to agree, all the elements are there, I just would like to see more of the "wow factor." [Motley Fool]

Who the hell uses Lycos for anything? I just hit lycos.com and their geocoding placed me on the opposite side of the country, somewhere my ISP doesn't even exist.
