Stern Will Jump To Sirius In 2006

UnanimousCoward writes "Howard Stern announced it on his current radio show, and several feeds including this CNET article are reporting that Stern has signed a multi-million dollar multi-year contract with Sirius Satellite Radio starting in January, 2006.

From XM's corperate page: XM Does for Radio what Cable and Satellite Did for TV:

Beyond AM. Beyond FM. It's XM - Radio to the Power of X: Radio has just taken a quantum leap into the future. With over 120 channels in 2004 of music, news, sports, comedy and talk, nationwide coverage and digital-quality sound, XM Satellite Radio -- the #1 digital satellite radio service in the U.S. -- is unleashing a radio revolution in cars and homes across the country. Part rocket science, part rock n' roll, it will change forever the way you hear radio. XM's support runs wide and deep, with strategic investors including America's leading car, radio and satellite TV companies -- General Motors, American Honda Motor Co. Inc., Clear Channel Communications, and DIRECTV.

XM is as big a part of the monopoly as any other radio station.
