TORONTO -- The Canadian licensee of Sirius Satellite Radio on Wednesday said shock jock Howard Stern will join its 100-channel lineup Monday. "(Stern) is a powerful force in the entertainment world, and we felt it important to add him to the service," Sirius Canada president and CEO Mark Redmond said. Sirius Canada, co-owned by New York-based Sirius Satellite Radio, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. and Toronto's Standard Radio, last month said it would not air Howard Stern's new "Howard 100" morning radio show that debuted Jan. 9 on Sirius' U.S. radio service.
TORONTO -- U.S. satellite radio service Sirius Satellite Radio on Thursday named consumer electronics executive Mark Redmond as president and CEO of Sirius Canada as it gets ready to launch its Canadianized satellite radio service. Redmond, most recently president of Thomson Canada, replaces Kevin Shea, a veteran Canadian broadcast executive who succeeded in securing a Canadian satellite radio license for Sirius. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission in June licensed New York-based Sirius and Washington, D.C.?based XM Satellite Radio Holdings to operate in Canada.
