Martha Stewart to Start Women’s Radio Station

Martha Stewart is creating a 24-hour channel featuring cooking, entertaining and gardening programming for women on Sirius Satellite Radio.

As with all her ventures, she’s going to name it after herself: Martha Stewart Living Radio. She boasts that she is again breaking new ground, just as she pioneered lifestyle magazines and TV shows.

“This will be the first ‘around the clock’ channel devoted entirely to areas of interest for women,” she said in a statement. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Stewart will be a regular presence on the channel, which is expected to launch this year. The deal comes six weeks after her release from prison after being convicted of lying about a stock sale.

She already is working on a Martha version of The Apprentice and a syndicated how-to show, although she’s still under house arrest. She has returned to her magazine’s cover and is writing a new column.

Wow! It almost seems as if Martha were never in jail.
