To all our Sirius listeners,

After answering almost 1000 email individually, I thought it would save everyone time to answer some common questions in this open letter.

As of Jan 3rd, we’ll be doing afternoon drive (3-7 pm) for Infinity broadcasting. We’ll be based out of WXRK in NYC (Howard Stern’s current station) with a plan for additional markets throughout the course of our employment with Infinity, as part of the expansion of other “Free FM” hot talk stations around the country.

When Infinity first approached with their generous offer, I turned it down. Twice. They then returned with an irresistible combination of situation, compensation and guarantees. It is a tremendous package and big opportunity for all us on the show. My contract with Sirius did not prohibit us from doing terrestrial radio while broadcasting at Sirius. While it would be tough, we were prepared to honor our commitment to Sirius, and continue to host the midday slot on Stars 103, as well as PM Drive for Infinity. Sirius instead opted to release us from our contract. I completely understand their position.

We were saddened we were not able to explain, or even say goodbye to our Sirius listeners on air, but that was not our call.

You will be able to listen to the Radiochick show online beginning Jan 3rd, 2006. You can also stay in touch with the show by signing up on the mailing list at www.radiochick.com so we can notify you of big news, like new market announcements as they happen. We might be coming to a station near you in the not too distant future.

For our show, there is no crisis of content in returning to traditional radio. Many of the ‘dirtier’ bits you heard on Sirius, such as “What’s my Perversion” or “The Chick on Chicks” or “Stupid Pet tricks with the Penthouse Pets” and many others, were all created by us while on terrestrial radio. The difference is only the words we choose to describe the action in the studio, but the core content remains the same. We’re not a show that has people in the studio actually having sex on the air, or taking a dump in the studio. A show like that can only survive on satellite radio. But that’s not what we do.

Please sign up on the mailing list so we can notify you of new market announcements, parties, contests etc. Infinity’s plan is to syndicate the show to several other markets around the U.S. We’d like to be able to tell you when you can hear us in your area. Online listening will be available from the day the show starts.

Our listeners at Sirius were tremendous. We are very grateful to you for making the experience at Sirius so enjoyable for us. Thank you. Stay in touch. Email anytime.
