Howard Stern Coming To the Net
theodp writes, "To promote an Internet radio service Sirius is launching this week, Howard Stern's 4+ hour program will be made available live online for free on October 25 and 26. The new Sirius service will offer 75+ channels of CD-quality programming for $12.95/month with no need to buy a Sirius satellite receiver."
edwardpickman said "Yes I know I don't have to listen but I don't care to patronize a service that promotes that kind of programming. " Talk about hypocritical, you are not choosing Sirius because they have Howard but you will go with XM when they have Opie and Andy which are just as bad as Howard. They were kicked of the airwaves after airing a couple having sex in a Catholic chapel in NY. Their show is just as bad as Howard's show if not worse. So, if you go with XM you are still patronizing a service that has "that kind of programming". I guess O&A are some of "the great minds of our time" that you would like to listen to and of course they are not "childish or pointless". I think is so funny that people choose XM because of "Howard's filth" but they will subsribe when XM has "Opie and Andy' Filth" which is just as bad. Sirius' music selection is much better than XM and all commercial free unlike XM. If I wanted to listen to commercials then I could listen to FM instead of paying for XM. I read about people swithing from XM to Sirius all the time because the music on Sirius is better. Just admit it you are just jealous of Howard and decided to choose XM not because of filth on his filth on Sirius because XM has filth also just for different personality (Opie and Andy).
Stern is an important figure in the history of radio like Nero was an important figure in the history of Rome.
Thanks for turning me off to Sirius!
