FYI: It helps to send out the package FEDEX, that way you know somebody actually recieved it, and it tends to actually get someone to open it and read what's inside, I have done this with several interviews and it seems to work better than sending a FAX, EMAIL, or US MAIL.

It might also help if you "ask" about internship opps, that is how I got my foot in the door of the radio biz. Also, send the package FEDEX, I have done this with many job offers and if actually is better than FAX, EMAIL, or US MAIL, people love it when they get a UPS or FEDEX package, it may cost a little more, but will pay off in the long run. Good Luck.

Its impossible for someone off the street to get a job at Sirius. Sat Radio, has a huge waiting list, for Employees. Its best to try out for a radio job in a small market, no station in NYC, whether it be Satelite, Fm, or AM, they dont hire people without years of COMERCIAL radio experience, I mean its Market number one, there are tons of people (with Comercial radio experience), that cant get any jobs. Now in Indianapolis its a different story, they hire, and fire new people every day, and always put interns on the air. ANOTHER F.Y.I, Satelite radio doesnt pay all that well, you would be better off Working for Z100, or Hot 97, But it takes several years of Previous Experience, before any radio job on NYC will look at you.

Some shows from outside producers
The music channels may be a different deal, but at least some of the (orignal) programming on their talk channels comes from outside producers. I work with somebody who fills in for the host of some advice show on the women's channel and she got hired and gets paid by the guy who produces the show for Sirius. I don't know what the exact deal is (whether he pays Sirius for the time and sells his own spots or whether Sirius pays him for the show). They do the show from Sirius' production facility. But she got the gig because of her connection to this guy (who is also a consultant of some kind), not Sirius.
