Word....
go howard
Howard blows too.....he's just like Rather...would do anythig even if it's not factual to have bush out of office
Hes a cry baby, but his show is funny.
Its all marketing. Create the hype about the FCC. Piggyback on the Kerry wagon even though most of his views are different. Get people listening. Make the move to Sirius.

I don't know how Sirius is going to go.....all they do is keep spending and when they need more money they just make more stock available....I'm skeptical.

Yeah, but what's the building penetration of the Sirius stream??? Can you get it while driving through valleys? How about the urban canyons of downtown NYC? Does satellite really have the reach that traditional broadcast does?

I beleive so.
People are moving to it....but the company Sirius (SIRI) is not the best company....it's taking a big risk putting itself out there and hoping people jump on the bandwago (like cable TV). Take a look at the SIRI stock and reviews and you'll see what I mean. I just don't see what's so great about 12.95$ a month for radio....I'm not in my car enough.

When you live in the Catskills and all you get is country or heavy metal stations...
It's WELL worth the $$$....
Remember - I'm a hopeless liberal... I need my NPR... I miss my NPR....

Pull all public funding for NPR until the give equal time to Rush, 4hrs a day would be about right.
I do love Click & Clack the Tappet Brothers on Car Talk, out of my old hometown of Cambridge Ma.

NPR is some of the best broadcasting available on radio, even if I don't always agree with some of their commentary. If I agreed with them all the time, something would be wrong with them.
