NEW YORK, Sept. 15 (UPI) -- New York shock jock Howard Stern says he may name one of the two channels he's programming for Sirius Satellite Radio after a feminine hygiene product.

Stern also revealed he has hired his old nemesis Bubba the Love Sponge to do a show on one of the channels, the New York Daily News reported Thursday.

"I've talked trash about Bubba in the past and he's talked trash about me," Stern said. "But there's something bigger going on now."

Like Stern, Bubba has had his share of run-ins with the Federal Communications Commission. He was fired from a Clear Channel Communications station in Tampa, Fla., after the FCC levied a fine for a bit about cartoon characters talking about sex.

Stern repeated his mantra about the FCC's campaign of fear induced censorship and predicted unregulated satellite networks will "save radio."
