I've tried it (in rental cars) and I enjoy it...but I have no intention of buying it.
I tuned in and found that he was asking the question "I wonder what black chicks smell like 'down there'....probably like watermelon".
That's all I need to know about his "talents".
And if that happens, the lack of competition will be incentive to pack their music with commercials.
But the monthly fee is subsidizing Stern even if you don't listen.I don't know if that would bother you,but it certainly make me feel uneasy.
Yes it bothers me but it doesn't bother my husband (so I got him what he wanted). Personally I would never have gone for it but then I'm the hard core right winger, not him.
Subscribers to both are also subsidizing Air America, Gay and lesbian channels, adult humor channels etc. I do not understand why having Stern on Sirius is more polarizing than the pre-existing fare.
XM is losing the NASCAR contract at the end of this year to SIRIUS. Like you I got XM for the NASCAR coverage, and will probably switch next year. With the NFL and NASCAR, SIRIUS will be hard for me to ignore.
Howard Stern = One of the reasons I chose XM.
XM, BTW, is very good.
Stern is an idiot, a perverted one at that and you watch, Sirius made a huge blunder when they made this deal with that big DORK, Stern. XM should go and try to get Rush now and you would see there stock really skyrocket. Stern is an immoral idiot created by the leftist media.
Air America is on XM = One of the reasons I chose Sirius.
Sirius, BTW, is very good.
If you listen to this slime--you belong in DU.
Your not missing anything every stern show is the same crap every day down to the words he uses it's a teen thing.
I was speaking to ALL---didn't mean to single you out :(
I know basically nothing about satellite radio including what appears on these channels (except Stern). Given what you've said,it could be that there are more reasons to avoid satellite than just Stern.
I'm a Conservative Republican with a sense of humor.
Is that such a bad thing?
That's another reason I chose XM. LOL.
Meh. So is America Right.
It's a mass-market product.
I can't imagine being stupid enough to shell out $120 a year to listen to that idiot.
Not to change the subject, but Stern's replacement in NYC is awful (David Lee Roth)....what the heck were they thinking?...
I'm not in radio, so I didn't realise the FCC was oppresive. What is it that Howard has to say, that is being oppressed by the FCC?
