Howard Stern going to Sirius Satellite radio in $100MM deal

he's about to make the announcement on the air

No surprise there, I'm surprised it took this long.

Good. Stern is past his prime, but, good to see free enterprise geting around the FCC assholes.

Bran, you know Howard is going to change Satellite radio. Do you think Sirius stock would be a good investment? I don't know much about the market. I have almost everything in real estate.lol

how do you know? just a guess?

From what I have gathered, they are going to put him in charge creatively and give him free reign. Building competing music stations with clear channel, concert venues, of course giving him the freedom to do his show the way he used to do it. An analyst on TV this morning said Sirius would have to add 1 million subscribers for this to be "a good deal" for them. I believe Howard has around 20 million now so that is a 5% conversion rate to pay radio. However, not included in that 20 million are people like huckleberry finaplix who are in markets Howard isn't in now. It's nationwide now. I do believe it is a good investment long term, he signed a new 5 year contract. In fact I had my little brother buy the stock (and some XMSR) 8 months ago so he is a happy kid today.
