Stern and Sirius absolutely benefit from the press given to this situation. I'm not so sure that it's a battle that CBS will want to air publicly, though. While they claim Stern used their airwaves to promote his upcoming Sirius gig, Infinity, Viacom & CBS laughed all the way to the bank! If they were so
"damaged" by Stern's year + of Satellite "hype," they had the power to pull the pug on him at any time. Outside of a one day suspension last fall, they failed to do that. They'll hardly be viewed as "sympathetic" by a jury if this goes to trial.

It's a pretty safe bet that the general listening public probably doesn't know or care that they are responsible for all of the stations mentioned.

Kinda looked like a replay of Stern's appearance on Letterman's NBC Show in 1985, when both were employed there. That visit was recreated in Stern's bio-pic "Private Parts."
