Wow. I guess he's a radio show host. Isn't his ranting part of the reason people tune in? Regardless of its validity.

Actually, his ranting is what causes me to tune out 90% of the time.

I'm a huge Stern fan, but even I get sick and tired of hearing about how the establishment is trying to bring him down, and how he thought of something first only to have it ripped off by someone else. It gets real old, real fast, and I don't think I'm alone here. I can't imagine even the most die-hard Stern fan enjoying that shit day in and day out.

When his show was picked up in the area I was looking forward to checking it out. But this is one of the very things that I found most disappointing. He died a quick death in this market, and though I occasionally enjoy the E! show, I don't miss his radio show in the least.

Stern is leaving E!

Well, looks like no HBO. Maybe on Spike they won't edit Goddamnit.

Tell 'em, Fred.

Yeah, HBO probably wouldn't do an everyday show, Spike would, they need it and have better lead-ins with wrestling and all CSI reruns. But they will probably still edit it, maybe not as much tho.

Acutally what could have been nice on an HBO version would be a 1 hour weekly show. Without the commercials and other filler/rehash, that would be the equivalent of 4 half hour shows a week, which is about all he puts out anyway. They could have put on 3 or 4 really good segments per show.

I don't think spike will be any different than E! (and by the way, they are both not free TV either, as ya have ta pay for basic cable, but I know what y'all mean )

I think he HAS ta keep his show on some channel for those who won't get Sirius, as he goes from 6 mil listeners (est. i heard somewhere) to less than 1 mil (as not ALL Sirius subs will listen) The 5 mil displaced listeners may still want to see what he is up to, and even a lil half hour show would be better than nothing. And talk about advertising! They could take the best of the Sirius channels and cram it into the show, thus making people want to get Sirius.

And as far as Sirius and XM go..I think the odds on bet is that they will merge eventually.

Listening to Howard as I type this. It's time for Robin's news. Still good stuff.

"I've done it all"

I actually liked the political rants when they first started up. It was a nice change of pace and I always enjoyed the banter on the show more than any of the guest or segments that were pretty poinltess if you couldn't see what was going on (something involving nudity). He did run that into the ground though with his dailly fcc, bush, clear channel rants. I used to listen a lot (on my way to school and stuff) but kind of grew out of the show.

Come on man - he used to have people tie bandannas around their cars!

Stern used to rule - I still occasionally pop in those old WWOR tapes from the early 90's. Now he's a parody of his former self. All his television exploits since that original show have paled in comparison.

Oh look stern wannabe's......

Boo hoo hoo! I invented holding up big signs!

E! cancels its highest rated show? Smart move. Does anyone even watch anything else on E!?

O&A Party Rock!!!!!!!!

Reread the article. It sounds more like the show was up for renewal, and Stern decided to take the show elsewhere since he'll be moving to Sirius anyway.

FUCKIN' A!!!!!!

"Hoo hoo hoo!!! See, right there... I invented dropping the G off words. I did, back in Washington... Tell 'em Fred!"

"Everybody rips me off, Tell 'em Fred"

At least I get XM radio for free and catch O&A once in awhile...wish I had a free Sirius ! ! !

Maybe not Spike TV either. From tvguide.com:


I can see good (nudity) and bad (ppv and availablity) in this. Availability is no biggy to me since I have Comcast.

That would suck,how ironic would it be that when he moves to satellite radio,the people with satellite tv can no longer view his show...

Moving to VOD is a terrible idea. He's alienating about 3/4ths of his audience, most of which isn't the East Coast.

Keep in mind that Comcast would likely be free to farm it out to other cable companies (for their VOD) as well. I have to believe that they would do this.
