He will reinvent radio as we know it....it will be like cable is to tv.... I wouldn't buy that stock yet until there are more concrete signs that he is making the switch, even then its a risk. Plus I don't think Sirius would work since they don't have advertising.I believe XM would have to be the Satellite he chooses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I was wrong, I had no idea he visitied Sirius last week.Fox News' Roger Friedman reports that Howard Stern visited Sirius Satellite Radio's offices last week in NYC. Friedman believes that Sirius would get an immediate "jump-start of very calculable proportions" should Stern join their current programming mix.The problem, according to Stern, is that he can't negotiate at this time because he's still under contract to Infinity Broadcasting for about 21 months. Unless of course Infinity fires Stern (unlikely) or Stern quits (remote possibility). Infinity would rather make like difficult for Stern rather than fire him, take the hit on the remainder of his contracts, and more importantly loose millions of listeners and advertising dollars.Reuters is also reporting that new FCC fines and guidelines could push "shock jocks" like Howard Stern to the freer air of satellite radio, but according to the report, such a move would likely mean smaller audiences and thinner paychecks. According to independent media analyst Jack Myers, "Howard Stern could drive an industry and change the economics of satellite in the same way that HBO changed television." Myers added that, "People will pay $10 a month for Stern, but they won't pay for Imus or Limbaugh."Well known media insider and prolific weblogger Jeff Jarvis continues to devote daily coverage to the Howard Stern story. Jarvis notes that Clear Channel is sending very mixed messages following their decision to pull Stern from several stations on February 25th.
