Howard Stern promotes Sirius Satelite Radio

Well, I wonder how the bosses at Infinity radio are going to deal with Howard Stern's latest publicity stunt. He was out in New York's Central Park promoting his latest thrill of moving to Sirius satellite radio. The move doesn't go into effect until 2006, but he just might do something really edgy to get off of the existing contract with Infinity radio.

Stern promoted Sirius satellite company by giving away to his fans free boom boxes and receivers. Too bad I wasn't around there then. I want to get Sirius so bad now. It's the future of radio.

Rush Limbaugh moves to FM in Pittsburgh!

Well, today is a good day in broadcasting depending on who you ask! I've listened to the new station here in town FM Newstalk 104.7. They've gone with a heavy roster of talk show hosts that always lean heavily on the conservative side of politics.

The news/talk format leader in the Pittsburgh market is KDKA, but they have instantly slid into second after losing one of their programming staples.

Rush Limbaugh makes the jump from KDKA to FM NewsTalk today and it couldn't have been a better time for it. FM Newstalk 104.7 is owned by Clear Channel and also contains some of the other better radio stations such as DVE and FOX Sports.

FM Newstalk have been running a promo here that I think really hits the idea home. Since Rush is now on FM, the station says that "there really is no reason to listen to KDKA".
