Note: Author is not associated with Sirius or Howard Stern in any way and this article is meant to be an analysis of the move to Sirius Satellite Radio by Howard Stern and events surrounding it. Howard Stern’s move to Sirius Satellite Radio will really make a huge difference for New York Radio. With listeners making the move to Satellite Radio and away from New York City, what will happen to the radio stations broadcasting in New York City? Does radio continue on a good course or does it need a wake up call? – Is this it’s wakeup call? The Daily News, has said that New York City radio "faces its last great wakeup call" and is being forced to deal with changing technologies, and the ever changing consumer tastes. The biggest threat, obviously to New York Radio is the changing of radio formats, from terrestrial to Satellite Radio. The Hollywood Reporter has outlined several new changes that Sirius Satellite Radio has made to its radio channel line up in order to take away market share from New York Radio and this is a huge threat to the terrestrial format. Howard Stern isn’t the only one whom is making the move to Satellite Radio, there are several shock jocks that are in some areas, the flag ship of Clear Channel and several other networks. Stern will now have two stations via Sirius Satellite Radio and there are more in the works. Sirius also has plans for upto five family and kids channels as well as three difference Christian channels. Sirius is covering all its listeners wants and desires, New York radio has failed to do that, and Sirius is answering the call of its subscribers for better content!

Satellite Radio's Impact on College Sports |

Sports is filled with Rights and fees. Who has the right to broadcast and reproduce sports, and how gets paid? College Universities always hold local radio rights for their sports programs. Satellite radio has caused a conflict with these schools due to the amount of the local broadcasts going national over satellite systems. Many universities believe that the local radio stations should receive some proceeds from these broadcasts. However in many cases, they are not currently getting any money from satellite radio Services. Negotiations have occurred at some level but not for every one, it has been a league-by-league issue. XM, for example, deals with several major conferences, including the Pac-10. However, Sirius negotiated individual deals with Southern California and UCLA, and these are all creating a conflict between the companies and their respective teams and leagues. And although these fees are not very large, with a growing subscriber base and increased satellite radio popularity, the fees and the battle to control rights are definitely going to increase and heat up! It’s going to be very interesting as the fight to control content gets more heated, we have seen it happen with TV and traditional radio, and now it’s satellite radio’s turn.
