I own a bee removal service and listen to sirius/xm on the job every single day. Originally, I was a fan of Howard Stern’s program with Arthur Lange, Robin O’phelia Quivers and Frederick Norris, but after smiting bees with my sword, nothing cheers me up more the Opie and Anthony program on sirius/xm starring Gregory Hughes and Anthony Cumia. In summation, and to conclude, Howard brought me to sirius, but Opie and Anthony’s program is keeping me at sirius/xm.

Howard Stern is the reason I subscribe to satellite radio. He, Rodin, Fred, Bababooey and even Artie light up every morning for me. Maybe they’re not as “edgy” as they used to be because the Opie & Anthony’s of the world have caught up, but listening to the show is still the most entertaining part of my day. I look forward to driving to work, my lunch break and driving home just because I know I’ll have the Howard Stern Show to listen to. The show is completely hysterical and I would absolutely cancel my subscription if Howard doesn’t decide to re-up.

THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS that Howard has made little effort since joining Sirius. The Fridays off and the vacation time have been excessive. But the damning part is that he’s just not into the show and it’s all been a horrible disappointment. I finally gave up my subscription in September of this year. The show isn’t even worth downloading lately. I can’t believe he has the chutzpah to sign another contract, even if Sirius/XM is stupid enough to offer one to him. BRING JACKIE BACK!! btw artiefannetwork.com

My Father, my sister and I all joined Sirius because of Stern. I listen to other channels maybe 10% of the time. If Stern leaves, I will cancel my membership. Say what you want, but so will many others. They needed Stern to even get Sirius off the ground. I don’t know anyone who has Sirius that didn’t join for Stern alone. I can hook up my MP3 player if I want music. I am not going to pay $12.99 plus the $2.99 internet stream fee for the other Sirius channels.

Stern has long been declining from a talent perspective. He basically mails his show in. He was great in the 80′s and 90′s but since Jackie M., left so did Stern’s humor. I would rather watch The View then listen to Howard.Opie and Anthony are the best thing that SiriusXM has. They are truly funny and the only reason I have satellite. If they were ever to leave, you would really see a mass exodus or subscribers. I know many people who share my opinion.

STERN RULES. Never been better. Nothing even close to it in the whole entertainment industry.Anybody that says any different is a dumb girl, not funny, or not fun.

As someone who bought a Sirius radio in fall of ’05 because of Stern, I can’t imagine Sirius surviving without the Howard Stern Show.Maybe I’m wrong, but I haven’t heard anything else on any channel that I would be willing to pay a monthly fee for. If Stern leaves, he would have to be replaced by an equal amount of equally compelling original content that would be worth listening to.

Howard is the absolute best! If you don’t listen to him because it’s not your type of humor then that’s fine. But anyone that doesn’t think he’s worth the money is a complete d-bag. How many people do Apple and Anthony have that listen to every minute of their show? Enough said!!!
