If you think about it, Limbaugh himself probably couldn't get a good price from the satellite companies unless he agreed to do an exclusive "4th hour" or something. He's on too many stations. The people who are on XM or Sirius are just happy for the publicity.
I think being on a growing tech like XM or Sirus would be a good thing. My gut tells me this is about money - Savage overvalues himself.
Yeah, right now I don't think there is a lot of $ in the industry (unless your name is Howard Stern). The benefit is probably a token amount of money, and some prestige.
For a guy like Rush it probably wouldn't be worth it. Hannity is arguably #2 and he is on both XM and Sirius, I think. Others, like Mike Medved, probably increase their stature by being on SM. Actually, as I have said before, if Sirius had both Medved and Savage, I'd be pleased as punch!
Sirius has a great lineup tho - Liddy, Ingrham, Tammy Bruce, my new up & coming fave Jerry Doyle, and Rusty Humprhies, among others. Good conservative talkers on a good system - I love Sirus's music lineup, too!
