Sirius success in the stars Satellite radio headquarters a gathering place for eclectic mix of celebrities Saturday, February 03, 2007 Larry McShane ASSOCIATED PRESS Former U.S. Sen. Bill Bradley listens to a guest during the taping of American Voices. Gary Dell’Abate, producer of the Howard Stern Show, gives a tour of the show’s studio. Oscar winner Jamie Foxx is hugged by Janice Dickinson during a photo call for The Foxxhole, a 24/7 comedy cable channel at the Sirius Satellite Radio headquarters. NEW YORK — Shortly after making his entrance, Oscar winner Jamie Foxx found model Janice Dickinson and her ample cleavage pressed tightly against him. Foxx posed for a photo-op with hip-hop legend Grandmaster Flash, and later traded handshakes and hugs with New York Giants linebacker LaVar Arrington. The VIP lounge at Lotus? The red carpet at the Grammys? Try the star-studded offices of Sirius Satellite Radio, a haven for bold-faced names found 36 floors above Manhattan in a Rockefeller Center skyscraper. The company headquarters draws an eclectic collection of celebrities, sports stars, musicians and Martha Stewart, often simultaneously, with many wandering casually through the halls on their way to or from a studio. The diversity of talent is best summed up this way: Howard Stern and Cardinal Edward Egan do their shows a few hundred feet apart. Only here could "The King of All Media" and a prince of the church cross paths. "You walk through the halls here, and it’s absolutely mind-blowing," Stern said. "There’s energy, and there’s synergy. You walk out after a show and wind up hanging out." A somewhat typical morning found Foxx announcing his new Sirius channel as singer Evan Dando performed live in a nearby studio. National Football League All-Pro Tiki Barber fielded questions for the NFL Network, and author/ Sirius host Candace Bushnell of Sex and the City fame quizzed Dickinson. At the end of a hallway, Stewart’s daughter Alexis sat on the floor, kicking around ideas for her upcoming program. And Sean Avery of the Los Angeles Kings took advantage of the National Hockey League All-Star break to do an interview in yet another studio. "It’s neat — it’s a mosh pit, a melting pot, and we’re all here doing the same thing," said Barber, the recently retired Giants star who cohosts a Sirius show with twin brother Ronde. Sirius offers more than 130 channels, including 69 music channels and 65 channels of sports, news, talk, entertainment, traffic and weather, and is fighting for subscribers with XM Satellite Radio, which features its own starstudded lineup and 7.6 million customers. XM features Opie & Anthony, Stern’s longtime nemesis, along with Oprah Winfrey’s channel, Bob Dylan’s Theme Time Radio Hour, Major League Baseball and The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Recent rumblings suggested the two services could merge at some point, although the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission said this month that the companies’ licenses precluded such a move. Although Sirius features the NFL, the National Basketball Association, CNN and NPR, its main attraction remains Stern, who joined the satellite world in January 2006 and now runs a pair of stations for the company. One year after Stern’s arrival, Sirius boasts a little more than 6 million subscribers — far beyond projections by Wall Street analysts of 3.5 million by the end of 2006. "The cool thing is running into people in the building," said Gary Dell’Abate, Stern’s producer. "And there’s always people in the building."
