Howard Stern on Satellite - Flumper Barflusterbutt - 01-10-2006

I read two reviews (one in the paper and on on the net) about his show yesterday. One said it basically sucked and the other said it was excellent.

Discuss.

I used to, but he's kind of like any other talking head, you can only take so much of him. I can't listen to Rush Limbaugh or any of those kind of guys.

Stern's show on E (tape of his radio show) was kind of funny, but even it got old after a while.

The only talk radio shows I listen to are the first team on fox, a little dan patrick and keith oberman, and don and mike in the afternoon.

I love Stern but I have enough bills so I dont need another one for radio.I dont think I could listen to it at work when they are dropping "fuck" and "cunt" anyway.

Do you think it will survive. The way I understand it, he has a 5 year contract ($500 million?).

Quote:A fourth question, as to whether any of Sternâs listeners would pay $12.95 a month to hear him, was answered by Christmas, when 180,000 new subscribers activated their accounts. It was confirmed on Sunday, January 8, the day before Sternâs Sirius debut, when subscription telephone activation was delayed nine hours due to caller volume. New York City-area Best Buy and Circuit City stores sold out of Sirius receivers that same weekend.

The Stern-inspired spike boosted Sirius listeners to more than 3 million.

Do you think people will "pay" long term for satellite radio, or do you think that the free radio will counter all of this with some better radio choices and kill off the pay radio?

Absolutly it will.I read they gave him 232 million dollars in stock last week for hitting subscriber goals.Stern is a way of life in the NE for guys working construction and soon enough you wont be able to buy a car without satelitte radio being included.

I just bought a car in October and it had XM radio. Its okay, I like it because I can get CNN and some news channels. My wife likes it okay. But it isn't sirrius.

I think XM is better for news and baseball. NFL is better on Sirius. It won't be truly universal until it goes portable in phones and PDA's. My guess is the two will merge at some point in the near future.

Just did. You can buy handheld now that have MP3 players, and the phone feature is right around the corner.
