Howard Stern is in Demand
It sure looks like Howard Stern is still the king of all [edit: premium subscription] media:
In Demand Network on Wednesday said it has a three-year exclusive deal to begin airing a televised version of popular shock jock Howard Stern’s ribald radio show on one of its video-on-demand channels starting later this year.
The deal, which comes 10 months after Sirius Satellite Radio agreed to pay Stern $500 million to leap to satellite radio, means that Stern, who became a poster boy for bad behavior on U.S. airwaves, will by January no longer be heard or seen in original shows on free radio or basic cable. […]
A spokesman for privately held In Demand, whose investors include cable operators Comcast Corp., Cox Communications and Time Warner Inc., said it will likely launch something akin to a “Howard Stern Channel” later this year. Viewers will pay a monthly subscription fee to their cable operator to watch the shows.
I wouldn’t be suprised if a lot more than just the gloves come off…
