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

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
 
LMAO!!

Bashing the FCC that is run by Collin Powell's son and a Bush appointee carrying out Bush policy.

hypocracy rules.

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.

I should clarify the $100MM is the annual cost associated with bringing Stern over for staff, construction etc.. I don't know what his compensation will be but I know it includes revenue sharing and stock

SC4EVA I'm with you I'll be subscribing. That's 3 of us in this little thread, they only need 999,997 more to get a million :)

sweet, i'm going to satellite radio. They better have some good punk stations!

I heard the music is off the charts cool
that makes 4 of us...!
looks like this could be a success if you ask me
 
Ever since I got Sirius, I was pissed that I had to switch to get the show. Nice, no more long ass commercials! Sirrius rocks now, it's only going to get better!
 
I listen to CD's and MP3's. I moved past radio years ago. Oh well.

I agree - Stern's 1990's predictable schtick is way past it's prime. What's he, 50 now?
 
I have Opie and Anthony on XM. I think they put a better show on then Stern. Satellite radio is one of the best investments I have made.

Superqt: They have XM radios [Sirius too] that can be put in your car, home, etc. You get the adapter for whereever you're putting it. I have on XM radio with a car adapter, adapter for my room, [those are stationary] and a 3rd adapter for whereever I may go [my expedient one]. www.xmradio.com

Agreed - about 10 years past his prime....

Of course sirius COULD pull the plug on his ass at anytime at any reason - no free speech on a private channel...
 
I love how everyone saying he is past his prime when his ratings are higher than EVER?? logic guys!!!!
 
past his prime :rolleyes:

maybe you guys are a little bored with it but I think past his prime would mean lower ratings, don't you think?

whatever makes you feel better, but that does not equate to "past his prime"
