In a sign that it plans to make advertising a serious component of its business model, Sirius Satellite Radio Thursday named two media industry vets to run its fledgling advertising sales department.
Sam Benrubi, a top sales executive at Westwood One and Infinity Broadcasting, was named senior vice president-advertising sales. Stephen Smith, a manager at WFAN-AM, New York, was named vice
president-advertising sales, reporting to Benrubi.
