XM Radio is playing a leading role now, but the real noise is being generated by Sirius. According to The "This is a perfect opportunity for me because I want to lead a growth company that can reshape the landscape of the radio business. I took Inifinity Broadcasting and Westwood One to leadership positions in the industry and am confident that Sirius will become a market leader in short order," Karmazin commented to reporters. Shares of Sirius Satellite Radio jumped almost 10 percent Friday as the Nasdaq's most active stock on news that Mel Karmazin will become its chief executive officer at the end of the year. Sticking it to his current over the air employer, earlier this week Howard Stern gave away 500 Sirius radios, as well as, around 20,000 Sirius gift certificates to thousands of fans in New York's Union Square Park. Howard is set to move his top-rated radio show over to the satellite broadcaster beginning in January 2006, but r "This made a statement to other radio talent and to everybody in the industry that Sirius is for real," says Karmazin." murdok is the CEO of WebProBlog which focuses on internet business and marketing trends.
