In 2 years I have listened to HS twice. It’ more offending than shocking. To me he is a small part of S/XM. I can’t imagine even 30% of listeners leaving because of him. The variety and quality of programming is what I like. And no irritating commercials! S/XM is a substitute for TV with me, in many cases. I think you will see the true value of S/XM after the arrest of the hedge fund managers and their inside friends.

BooBoo isn’t a short. He’s just a fool who bought this stock at a very high price and is pissed that it may survive and people might do well investing in a company that raked his pocketbook over the coals.

Not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!……………………no time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! …………..
I pick and choose to BUY what I hear when I hear it, even though it may cost some money (0.99) :0…………It’s ‘mine’ there-after.

I don’t have time to do this anymore, and so many don’t have expertise to do it anyway !!

I tried pandora, TOO many picks and search and choose for this ‘old’ man………………..LOL !!

I think it is hilarious that people think Howard is being greedy. Hello?! I would rather him make millions than some CEO of a bank that is ripping people off! At least he entertains me on a daily basis. I hope they can reach an amicable agreement because the only reason that I would pay to have Sirius on my iPhone is if Howard is a part of it.

BTW, just because people downloaded the application does NOT mean that they are going to pay $12.95/month for a Sirius subscription or $3.00/month if they already have a subscription. Pandora and Slacker can provide what Sirius can for free, if Howard isn’t involved in the mix.

You must be a short…cause all shorts have your short sightedness – I can see SXM providing Stern/NFL/MLB on iPhone for an additional fee like DTV does.

We’ll see… I’ll just watch the SP climb higher and take my $ when it gets to a couple of bucks. The only fans that are delusional are Stern fans and the shorts.

Your name is so original….

You just don’t get it.
Sirius-XM will NEVER be a major international media player if it can’t become one in its own country.

Sirius-XM is NOTHING without Stern.
They can NOT survive without him.
Take a look at the number of 1-Star reviews of the iPhone app in the App Store.
Those are Stern fans.
Stern fans spend money.

For the record, Howard Stern has a SIGNIFICANT international audience via the internet feed.
Only a delusional SatRad fan would believe Stern is washed up and has no influence.

Sirius-XM can not survive without him.

You are so short sighted… Stern is so last year. The problem with Stern and most people who are on his show is that they ARE on crack…. Old news, has been, wash up, see ya Stern….

Global market, here we come… you really think international audiences care for him – get real…

He didn’t broadcast everyday when he was commercial radio either.

How do you explain that Siruis had 600,000 subscribers before he signed up and about 8-10 million before the merger with XM? Must be all the Sinatra fans.
