Good Morning :sunny:
Interesting article concerning Howard Stern and his upcoming
contract negotiations.
My opinion Stern will be signed for considerably less this time around.
Possibly with reduced hours, later starting times. Stern continues
to emphasize his unhappiness on his early bird hours.
Initialy when Stern went to Sirius he brought along his loyal following.
Other than the occasional article, he is seldom mentioned, unlike his
highly visible days at terrestrial radio.
On the other hand Sirius has continued to grow to be much more
than just Howards home. With the wide variety of music stations,
an array of talk, news, advice and sports, Howard 101
became for me, just one of many options on my radio. The last
several weeks I have been doing more driving and have had
more of an opportunity to listen to Sirius. When I'm not talking I like to listen
to talking. :D The Rosie show as well as the Playboy station have
both been unexpectedly good. So when he is off the air with his
numerious vacs, no problem. Lots more to listen to.
Because of my job I have had the opportunity to question my customers
about their Sirius radio as well as their listening preferences. Other
than a few, most mentioned other stations as to why they love
their Sirius. So if in my little corner of the world, my informal surveying,
why can't the same be done across the states? And take that to
the negotiations.
My ramblings this Wednesday morn.
Enjoy this beautiful day, :)
