Circa 1993-2003 I lived in NJ and worked on W 57 & 12th. Had to be at work by 7am and would switch between Stern (93.3?) and 1010wins. WINS was usually more amusing.

When I worked in NYC, I listened to Howard. His writers were VERY funny, and the show Jumped the Shark when Jackie quit and you saw who was the talent. I also liked the free speech dimension of the show and getting fined by the FCC for saying Bad Words. That's why there's an off button or channel changer. His funniest bits were when he impersonated Ted Kennedy.

I haven't listened in years, even though I too have XM. He's allegedly "matured" into a great interviewer. Well, I listened to an interview with Robert Plan on YouTube and he sucks.

Howard is no longer relevant, and THAT probably eats him up more than his covid paranoid.

In contrast, on WABC the Curtis and Kuby show was MUCH better, entertaining, enlightening, and informative. Ron Kuby is as liberal as they come, but he was smart and at time reasonable (other times he was a loon). Curtis...well...he's a showman but he bleeds NYC and was the perfect compliment to Kuby. That show trumped Howard.

I spend my commutes now streaming Bandcamp and their recommended new, unsigned music. In turn, anyone under 40 is streaming Rogan on their commute. Times change.

93.3 is WMMR out of Philly. I was a avid listener back in the early 1970s.
