Along with the live radio broadcast they are going to broadcast live in car to pit audio for 10 different race teams on 10 different channels uncensored. We'll be able to hear them talk like truckers :lol: :lol:
Howard had what I thought was a great idea. leave the 2 companies seperate but merge all the channels so you could get all of them no matter which one you subscribe to, that way you could subscribe to the one who you think has better equipment or service or whatever and listen to whatever you want without having to pay for both services, that sounds like the best of both worlds. one part of the plan was to keep the prices the same, charging more would defeat the whole purpose. I think it would be great, they both have stufff I like but I dont want to have to have both.
If I had a few billion dollars, I would just start my own satellite company

I know what I heard,I knew someone would say that and I was gonna transcript when they were talking about it but then again who cares......

I listen to Howards show and I like it,it is just different listening now after I know some of the stuff he has pulled in the past and how he thinks he invented everything.Has he done alot,yes was he first,yes can someone else ever have the same idea and never heard Howard before,probably.

I think he confuses being the first to do it on radio with inventing it, like you said, there are probably very few original ideas, BUT there are few who basically just do Howards show , ( like O&A) but so what? if you like them better, listen, to them, it doesnt matter to satellite what you listen to as long as you subscribe, thats why I think merging and keeping ALL of the content on both would be great, I like what sirius has better, but x/m has radios I like better, anyway, whatever happens happens, and the real loser is gonna be regular free crap radio.

I would love to hear your explanation of O&A doing Howard's show?? O&A's show is nothing like Howard's! First they don't have a hole agreeing with everything they say, O&A and Jimmy Norton will throw each other under the bus every time they get a chance too. They don't have the big named Hollywood people on the show as Howard did and they DON'T want them on their show. O&A's show is a listener based participation show, Howard ONLY has the callers calling to kiss his ass on the air. O&A will let anyone on their phones, they will let the Stern fans on the air and let them say what they want, Howard would never let something like that happen on his show. Sterns show is based on the "listeners have a 10 second attention span" type of show, O&A's show is more of a show if you hadn't been listening you will be lost type of show and I think thats why alot of people don't "get" the show or understand them but thats ok.

I'm sure I-Pods and MP3 players have a slight responsibility for slumping sales.

But as stated above, the rush is over. Example, Xbox and the NEW XBox 360

Still, Howard Stern's influence is pretty remarkable, considering the hundred of other channels programs on it
