NEW YORK, Aug. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Howard Stern and
SiriusXM today announced "Booey 25," the extensive special
celebrating the 25th anniversary of "Baba Booey." The specials will
air on Howard Stern's exclusive SiriusXM channels Howard 100 and
Howard 101.
Internationally known as a crowd shout-out at golf tournaments,
during TV news live shots, as a tribute to Howard Stern in scripted
TV shows, and more, the name "Baba Booey" started as a simple
mistake. In the summer of 1990, on the Howard Stern Show,
producer Gary Dell'Abate mis-named
cartoon character Baba Looey as "Baba Booey" and has been
hilariously taunted for it for 25 years and counting, by Stern, his
staff, celebrities and fans.
The radio event will feature audio of the name's first
utterance, then 25 years of now-legendary Baba Booey and
Gary Dell'Abate moments from the
Howard Stern Show. "Booey 25" will also track the name's
infusion into popular culture.
"Booey 25" will air on Howard 101. The broadcasts will also be
available through the SiriusXM App on smartphones and other
connected devices, as well as online at siriusxm.com. The entire
special will be available on SiriusXM On Demand through the
SiriusXM App for smartphones and other mobile devices and online
at siriusxm.com. For more broadcast info, please visit
siriusxm.com and howardstern.com.
On Labor Day, Howard Stern's
SiriusXM channel Howard 100 will become "Booey 100" playing nothing
but "Baba Booey" parody songs, lovingly created by fans and Stern
staff over decades. Never before has a music channel been
created with nothing but "Baba Booey" songs; guest DJ's from
various SiriusXM music channels will spin the songs and play
listener requests.
