  1. Better than ever on Sirius.....those of you too cheap to pay for it....missing out on a lot as well as everything else they have to offer.

  1. Totally agreed - and when the merger goes through, all I can say is...unbeatable.

  1. Snyder represents 99% of what is normal in this country. Howard has no place in mainstream media. Howards demise is slow to come but it is well under way.

  1. Howard jumped the shark years ago. Opie and Anthony were always twice as funny, XM rules.

  1. Bababouie! Bababouie! Bababouie!
    Stern has always been amazing and will continue to be. He made Opie and asshat.
    Go Pats!

  1. How old, is he a thousand? Howard is a cry baby that complains everybody steals his radio bits. He can't hold a candle to Jimmy Tide presidental candidate.

  1. He manages to do five hysterical hours a day, unscripted, yet controlled like a virtuoso...the Sirius show is more true, real. The wrap up show is great too, Gary and crew speak openly and give true commentary or what it is to be a Dad in America. I only hope that Howard never retires completely...he needs to ISDN from Boca, an hour or two a day...his perspective and satire are a fine wine.

  1. Opie and Anus are Ham-Sleds!

  1. So many putzes have been predicting Howard's "demise" for ages. His show is certainly not for everyone, but neither is 'Behind The Actor's Studio' so if you don't like it, don't listen. At the LOW end he has a projected 3.5mm listeners on Sirius. 3.5mm x 12.95/month subscriptions = $543,900,000.00 per year plus advertising plus revenues from HowardTV subscriptions. Easily gross revenues of 650mm/year or 3.25 Billion over 5 years. Howard's contract is 500mil for 5 years including all production costs plus 250 or so million in Sirius stock.

    So, 3.25 Billion minus 750 million = Mel Karmazin is a genius and Howard ain't going anywhere. Live with it.

    Bababooey!

  1. He is no longer the King of All Media.
    If you don't get Sirius you don't hear much about him any more.

  1. If Howard Stern is the Boston Red Sox, Opie and Anthony are the PawSox...
