I agree, at $12.95 or so a month, if you enjoy radio you'll love satellite. I have several weeks worth of music in iTunes but satellite is great if you enjoy discovering new music.

I'm a day late and a dollar short on the stern bandwagon, I started a Laquadaria fan on BCN, followed him to ZLX, then I stayed with Sweeney's Neighborhood when they took over. When they got booted last year, the nitwits that took over for that show stunk, so I started listening to Stern, I thought I hated the guy, but after listening to the last few months of his show, I was converted to a non hater.

My buddy's got Sirius on his boat and needed to get the stronger antenna to get the signal offshore.

You gotta admit he's got some funny shows lined up on satalite:

Tissue Time with Hieidi Cortez
Crack Whore View (he gets a panel of crack whores to go over the topic used on the talk show 'The View' )

To each their own, but I say good luck to the guy. $500 million for 5 years, he's doing something right.

Stern's an aquired taste, no question. I think it takes at least a month or two before you REALLY see what he and his show is all about. If you think his show is just about strippers, being outragous, and pushing the political correctness envelope you haven't really listened to it that much. It's the discussions about day to day life, parenting, the tearing apart hippocritical public figures, and Robin's news and the discussions that come with it that always keep me tuned in.

Most guys, in an average day, are saying and doing things FAR less p.c. then what Stern does on an average day...

Big Fan.Got it for christmas.
INstanly enjoyed the satelite format.I listen to music thats a little off the beaten path.So tired of the stuff they feed the sheeple on the radio everyday.It all sounds like "Ramblin Man" over an over.Never mind NY Radio when I travel it gets worse..
I like how I can listen to the east coast feed Of the show. Then durin commercials I go to 101 an get the West coast show an get stuff i missed.plus my unit has a rewind.I go in the store i miss nothin.
If I talk to some one for ten minutes I can tell if the are a Howard fan or not.
People who like Howard are cool.

We've got our very own Howard Stern. He sits behind the back counter most days after 3:30PM. Some people know him as Iron Mike. Always uncensored, unless I yell out "family show!" because kids enter the store.

The new sat radio devices with rewind and recording features are really going to increase the popularity of the format. Being able to record and listen to radio the same way you do TV with a Tivo is a thing of beauty. Traditional radio is in big trouble...

CLASSIC!!!!

Still laughing.

[Nebe]

I like howard.. but then agian i am a liberal who thinks that everyone should be allowed to say whats on their mind and should also be able to do what they want.

Plus anyone who can make a woman have an orgasim over the radio is a god in my book

[NIB]

See I knew ebbie was kool.
He has a fellow female pesonality on air know takin her top off.
with a nice dirty list of things she will do to get a talk show.
She says she will lick benji's ballon knot to get a show.
Thats funny.

Morone I can understand the live show aspect of Stern relieving the drugery of the long days at sea. To clarify something further about Stern, I don't have kids but if I did I would hope they would find other types of entertainment, one that promotes free speech in every form as found in Stern's forum, but on a higher literative scale of much greater social value to them than Stern's shows. If I was Zacs age, I'm assuming he's in his twenties, I would probably listen to Stern with zeal. But as the younger guys find out age gifts you with greater understanding your taste will change as will your choices.
Stern pray on everyones weaknesses. Its much the same as watching Springer. What is the facination about watching people beat themselves senseless because thier transgender boyfriend is dating a female prostitute that dresses like a guy but really isn't but really is.

[Swimmer]

Hey Morone your only six years younger than me. Next year you'll start getting the AARP chit in the mail. Satelite entertainment 24/7 is a huge thing no doubt.

[Swimmer]

PeteG
I have done both of the above and while Stern comes off as smarter than anyone who appears on Springer and he probably is. Be that as it may but my comparison is in the way he gets women on the show to strip and talks about thier body parts and ranks on them in the most unseemly way while they sit there and take it. They sit there because they are selling themselves in hopes of some kind of career or just plain notoriety in show business. So anyone who can't find similarities in both shows is missing something. Stern is just a higher caliber smut.

[Swimmer]

Its not as disturbuing as some other shows and I don't really find it to be so. I just posted an opinon I have had for some time about him. I think his producers script much of what he says as far as politics go. He reads the AP, UPI, CNN, and FOX newswire and comments on everything. Everyone else does the same thing. Maher, OReilly, liberal or conservative. The thing that bothers me the most is that after all the commentary is aired whether by him or anyone else not much if any of it was his own opinon. A certain percentage of his show is supposed to be outrageous and thats that.
You talk about WBCN, I have to tell you about a weekend I think in the fall of 1967 when my buddy and I were heading to the cape on a Friday night with the surfboards on top of the VW to spend the weekend surfing. He had BlauKpunt radio (probably spelled wrong) and he turned on this new FM station called WBCN. He said it had only started broadcasting that week and as a student at Northeastern he had picked up on it from the other students. It was really something. It was like the station was an outlaw station or something at the time. I listened to BCN until three or four years ago when the format changed completely to strictly kids stuff. There will never be another radio station in this area ever again like BCN use to be.

I use my Sirius Sportster unit on offshore scallop boats from anywhere to 50-150 miles offshore with the antenna that comes with the home instalation kit and have no reception problems at all. It's all about placement.

Thanks, Morone! That's helpful to me, too!
