Anyone else listen to Howard on Sirus this morning?

[fishsmith]

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.
People who don't are squares, hilbbily's or clergy..I say F um.
More for me.
Say what u will but I think its cool a guy can come from nothin an make so much doe.500 mil contract.218 in stocks for exceeding signup goals.Plus what he has made.got to be close to a billion dolllars.

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...

[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]

That is funny, and some of it really was funny but some of it was just stupid too

I am glad you have to pay for it now so that it has it's time and its space. I don't think that free speech means some 10 year old kid should be able to sneak and listen...

I was a big BCN guy for years - listened to Stern for 3 months after the switch and have listened maybe once or twice since - and before you call me old and stogy, I was in my mid 20s at the time

Ruined BCN in my opinion...

[Swimmer]

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.

I appoligize if I was unclear.
The advantage of having Sirius satellite radio offshore, is radio that goes 24/7 without the signal cutting out. Music, news, sports.
I imagine now that Stern is on Sirius, and many boats already HAVE Sirius for the music, news and sports, some guys will listen to him.
I have never listened to Stern.
I have never watched Springer.
I'm 49 years old.

[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.

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.

[Raven]

although he pretends to be.....and there is absolutely nothing brilliant about his audience.... and personally i would never pay to listen to something i wouldn't listen to for free.

Like a sheep in wolf's clothing is how I describe it. More often then not they inquire as to how they got the point of sitting in the studio naked. Maybe it doesn't do anything for the girl sitting there, but without fail it's a textbook case as to how they got there and also how to NOT raise your kids. And like Rockport said, it's really a very small part of the show. They spend the normal amount of time discussing women if you ask me. Hell I spend more time in 4 hours discussing women then they do. Not only that, but in their personal lives, which are discussed regularly, they're all loyal dedicated husbands, fathers, boyfriends, etc. First hour of many shows on Monday (and at random points during the week) is talking about what they did with their kids during the weekend. Most of the staff on the show are far better parents then most people, it's sad to say. Model parents even. Countless people who have called the show and done something stupid to their girlfriend or kids get torn apart by the crew.

I'm not saying they're inncocent, just that they are anything but what the common perception tells you they are. With all the REAL problems with the world, I just find most of what goes on on the show to not really be that disturbing.

[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.

BCN was and is to some degree still a great station. More then happy to agree to disagree on Stern Swimmer.

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!
