SIRIUS Satellite Radio (NASDAQ:SIRI) today announced that January 9, 2008 marks the beginning of Howard Stern's third year broadcasting exclusively on SIRIUS Satellite

On January 9, 2006 Howard left his long and dominating reign in terrestrial radio to launch his show on SIRIUS in one of the biggest media events of the century. He was joined by longtime co-hosts Robin Quivers, Fred Norris, Artie Lange, and producer Gary Dell'Abate.


In the 730 days since Howard has been on the air at SIRIUS, the number of SIRIUS subscribers has surged to over 8.3 million.


"Howard Stern revolutionized broadcasting, and at SIRIUS he has redefined radio," said Scott Greenstein, SIRIUS' President, Entertainment and Sports. "Howard and his team continue to build the future of radio."


At SIRIUS Howard has been able to deliver more to his fans than ever before. Having two dedicated Howard channels -- Howard 100 and Howard 101 -- makes it possible for SIRIUS to replay The Howard Stern Show all day and night.


In addition, The Howard Stern Show is available online worldwide through SIRIUS Internet Radio at www.sirius.com, as well as at www.howardstern.com.


In December 2007, SIRIUS premiered The History of Howard Stern, an unprecedented radio documentary celebrating Howard's life and career. The History of Howard Stern was produced exclusively by and for SIRIUS for the Howard Stern channels, and is representative of programming that could only be done at SIRIUS.


The first installment of this epic series -- "The Early Years" -- spanned Howard's birth through his infamous days at WNBC Radio in New York City, and featured never-before heard audio and exclusive interviews with David Letterman, Pam Anderson, Alec Baldwin and other celebrities. The second installment of The History of Howard Stern will debut in December 2008, and future installments will follow.
