Howard Stern – Available For Free For Two Days

Thursday, October 19, 2006

Ten months after leaving the commercial airwaves for subscription-based Sirius Satellite Radio, shock jock Howard Stern is out to attract a broad new online audience with his first-ever free Internet broadcast.

Stern’s four-hour-plus program will be made available live online at no charge for two days, October 25th and 26th, to promote an Internet radio service Sirius is launching this week.

The new service offers more than 75 channels of CD-quality programming over the Internet — without the need to buy a Sirius satellite receiver — for a monthly subscription fee of $12.95, the company said in a press release.

The service can be accessed by logging on to the Sirius web site.
