Stern debuts on satellite radio and returns to the bad old days, before the FCC got on his case. But is the show worth $13 a month?
  • Stern is only a Sirius hook...

    I have to agree with some of the previous posters - is Howard Stern worth $13/mo? Probably not, however it’s a draw to get people hooked. I signed up for Sirius over a year ago strictly because I wanted access to Air America Radio, which I couldn’t get in the Kansas City area, and that was my single point of motivation. However, when Al Franken or the Minority Report wasn’t on, I began to drift and found the Michelangelo Signorile Show and Derek & Romaine on OutQ as well as the Young Turks and syndicated Stephanie Miller and Ed Schultz on Sirius Left. Not to mention endless amounts music from the “Hair Nation” station, to the dance music found on “The Beat” or even my guilty pleasure on “Broadway’s Best”. When Air America decided to bolt to that “other” satellite radio service last fall, I didn’t question for a minute whether I’d cancel my subscription.

    Yes, I have a problem – Sirius is as vital to my sanity as my TiVo!
