[...] The worst news? Once again, Howard Stern will not be on the BlackBerry mobile app. This comes as no surprise as The Howard Stern show was a glaring omission on the Sirius XM iPhone application…sigh. [...]

If you have a lifetime subscriber, your $500 wasn’t good enough to run this app.

You also need to pay $2.99 per month to get Sirius on your iPhone or Touch, Stern or no Stern.

I guess it’s over to Pocket Tunes – until SiriusXM sues them to turn off their feed.

Sorry, but you are dead wrong.
There is NOTHING to be gained by playing with the emotions of your existing customers and disappointing potential customers.

IF, and it’s a big IF, Sirius-XM ultimately makes Stern available on this app, it will be because the backlash against it is overwhelming.

This publicity has done nothing but drive down the stock price and tick people off.

This is all smoke and mirrors to attract attention to stern.

(which, I never listen to.) The ONLY reason they want to do this is to bring attention to him, and it’s working. This is just a soft release.

I think Sirius/XM will regret not offering Stern. Even if they are cornered to pass down the extra cost so be it, make it available. Investors and people don’t care, figure it out!

I have a hard time believing that it is a “rights” issue with Stern, like it is with the NFL and MLB. He is available on the internet. If I pay for a wireless broadband service, I can plug it into my laptop computer and carry it around and get Stern. The iphone is just a small computer with a wireless broadband connection. Must be some other reason.

I have a lifetime subscription to XM with the Best of Sirius. I paid for the lifetime subscription in March to lock in free internet. If I get an Iphone, will I have to pay any more fees?

Where is Stern? Will he be added to the Iphone App later?

It looks like they did fix it.
