The investigation of the possible control of Saturn kilometric radiation (SKR) by the moons of Saturn has been handicapped in the recent past by uncertainty in the definition of a Saturn longitude system (SLS). We have re-calculated orbital phase using a new definition of SLS based on the results of Kurth et al. [2006]. Similar to past studies at Jupiter, we conduct an investigation of possible associations of radio emission occurrence frequency with the orbital phases of Saturnian moons. This paper represents a progress report of our findings to date, sampling a large portion of the Radio and Plasma Wave Science (RPWS) instrument data. Titan and possibly Rhea and Enceladus display some orbital phase "control" of a subset of the SKR. In addition we also investigate the intensity of SKR as a function of the sub-solar orbital phase (local time) of the moon Dione. In the past there have been conflicting reports of the absence of SKR emission at particular local times of Dione.
