Howard Stern will leave his cozy New York environs for a stint on the West Coast to inaugurate the new SiriusXM Hollywood.
The California branch of SiriusXM/Pandora – located in the Hollywood Media District on Sycamore Avenue - will open Oct. 7. This is the first time Stern has broadcast from a location other than New York in 15 years and his first from Los Angeles in nearly 20 years.
Earlier this year, Stern released "Howard Stern Comes Again," a compilation of notable interviews from the show that entered the New York Times Best Seller list at No. 1. Earlier this summer, he mentioned on "The Howard Stern Show" that he was thinking about hitting the West Coast to do another round of press for the book in time for the holiday season.
