Pretty interesting article and one that I agree with although he did receive a hefty pay day for the switch.

 Howard Stern stands to make hundreds of millions of dollars through his move to Sirius (NSDQ: SIRI) from CBS Radio but what has he lost? Millions of listeners—and with them, relevance and influence, contends the LA Times. The exploits and the FCC battles that made him famous and kept him in the news are in the past. LAT: “So far, the radio personality’s leap from traditional media to a niche platform has come at a heavy price—namely, cultural relevancy. Unlike an Arianna Huffington, who vastly increased her reach on her upstart website, Stern’s place in the national conversation has been reduced to a murmur in the din of the exploding entertainment universe.”

I also submitted this to DIGG. Any DIGGs would be great!

I loved Sirius when I had it.

Howard and crew always puts on a good show (I LOVE ARTIE!).

His demand channel is just as good and updated almost every other day with new progams.

I know a lot of people swear by Howard, but I find his shows get repetitive.

I agree with you to an extent, Daba.

I think his show has a lot of really creative segments, however,  I get really bored when he has porn stars , girls who want to get naked, etc on the show.  9 out of 10 times  I end up turning it off.

 

Now that shit is very, very repetitive and dull.

 

And no i'm not gay.

 

My favorite stuff on the show is actually when the staff is the focal point.

I love when it's just the crew (Howard/Artie/Fred/Benjy/Robin/Sal/etc)  just bullshitting for an hour.
