MikeP brushed over it, but anyone who remembers Howard (and Imus) on WNBC back in the day, probably remembers creativity and humor without the F-bombs for effect. Like Sandy Becker on the radio. He was very funny back then, but I find him sort of boring now. Seems like he dwells on things for too long.
Someone already said it, if you enjoy radio, get satellite! It will make you very happy. I won't pay for TV, HBO, Cinemax, etc, but SIrrius radion is work the 12.95 anyday.
