Howard Stern

So at my itnernship, I get to listen to my iPod and due to the magic of certain newsgroups, I am able to download the complete Howard Stern Radio Show and listen to it the next day. I get Howard on the regular radio as well, but as you should know by now, he is leaving "terrestrial radio" and jumping to Sirius Satellite. He has been all over the news lately promoting his journey to "eh-eh-eh" (Howard's way of saying Sirius on air since actually uttering the words "Sirius" would cause millions to jump to satellite, at least according to WXRK general manager Tom Chiusano). From the piece on 60 Minutes, which was acutally pretty good to the silliness that was his appearance on The Factor with Bill O'Reilly, to just yesterday on the Daily Show, Howard has tried to get the Sirius name everywhere lately. Not that I mind, being a shareholder, after all (there's your disclaimer). He claims the move will allow him to program his show to the way it was before I was even a listener when his reputation for the outrageous was originally established. With no FCC interference, I can't help but agree. Many are claiming that the FCC serves as his foil and without their oversight that his show will be stale and trite. Only time will tell, but as some of his promos say, you have to listen just to see what he'll say next. It will be outrageous, that is for sure.
