Stern Sirius Channel Off To A Good Fart

[Renew Deal]

By Bram Teitelman

When Howard Stern's Sirius channel, Douche 100, signed on with silence one week ago (Sept. 29), one of the lines of text displayed "Farters Coming Soon." Today, they came.

Following up on last week's suggestion from a listener that Stern fill the silence with the sound of flatulence from past guests known for such skills, Stern named the listener, Nuno, as program director for Douche 100. Today, at 6.30 a.m. EST, Junior the farter kicked off a one-day "experiment" in gas. Stern had Debbie lined up for middays, and Will was scheduled to take afternoon duties. All three had been on his show in the past, but Stern had lamented that they weren't allowed on his terrestrial show anymore.

Much of Stern's show was devoted to the goings-on at Sirius, with Stern interviewing the talent, and taking calls from listeners commenting on the new sounds at Douche 100. The channel also had pre-produced sweepers and jingles poking fun at radio, such as "you're in the middle of a commercial free fart block," and "all farts all the time."
