Mag Rack honcho Dan Ronayne isn’t sweating the news that Howard Stern is headed to SVOD via In Demand. Instead, he’s hoping Mag Rack’s upcoming 20-part VOD series "Mama Gena’s School of Womanly Arts" (debuted yesterday) will offer the women of the house their own fun when their men turn to Stern.

In Demand and Stern finally confirmed their 3-year deal to offer the shock jock’s radio show this week (Cfax, 8/1), with Comcast, Time Warner and Cox all planning to make the package available to their operating systems when it debuts later this year.
