Reacting to XM Satellite Radio’s $55 million contract with Oprah Winfrey for a 24-hour Oprah & Friends channel, Sirius Satellite Radio hopes to boost female listening by signing Candace Bushnell - the author who inspired Sex and the City - to host a weekly four-hour talk show, called Candace Bushnell’s Sex, Success, and Sensibility, scheduled to launch this spring, writes The New York Daily News.
The show will feature live call-ins to explore what women think about their careers, relationships and men. “It’s really about the challenges, dreams and fears of contemporary, modern women,” said Bushnell. “There will be some sex talk - when it’s appropriate. It’s not a sex show.”
Sirius’s other efforts geared toward females include the Martha Stewart channel and a channel based on the women’s magazine Cosmopolitan, set to launch this spring.
