If that idiot Howard Stern gets shoved down my subscription throat.
I won't pay any kind of $ that supports that trash, I'll go back the terrestrial waste land and an MP3 player.
It is the competition, remember.

wow, 2 channels for howard stern out of god knows how many they'll have with the merger and you think they'll somehow shove him down your throat? You realize you can make the choice to listen to something else on the 100+ channels and that your radio doesn't just randomly switch to Stern and stay there?
That's irrational as saying, "if country music gets shoved down my throat with this merger, I'm gone". I have more choices to choose from and can listen to something else... |

Not that I really care since I do not have either service but Howard Stern has a contract and has to be paid (unlike Country Music). That money has to come from somewhere and could in theory require a rate increase that all subscribers will have to pay. Yes, I believe there is a clause that they cannot raise rates but since they already broke the clause against merging I do not think any agreement against raising rates will stand either.

It is the competition, remember. Don't forget to drop your Comcast cable as Howard TV On Demand is available through Comcast. Even if you just have analog cable or internet throught them.... "you pay $ to support that kind of trash".
Or Maybe.... you should just choose what to listen to and skip the Howard Stern channel. Also, since both Sirius and XM radio offer certain uncensored channels, you have the option to LOCK that channel on your radio. |

You are wrong, ALL music has royalties that need to be paid. It's only a few cents per song played, but for every song you hear on your radio, albeit FM, AM, XM, Sirius..... money is being moved from the radio station to the company who holds the royalty rights, which in turn gives part back to the artist.
Don't like Willie Nelson because he is a left wing country hippie that smokes pot? TOO BAD, you are supporting his music by paying for satellite radio.
c'mon really.... pretty much EVERY subscription you pay for, newspapers, cable TV, satellite, internet, online services, your POOL cleaner or GARDNER that you pay on a monthly basis will spend money on SOMETHING you don't like. You really got to take that with a grain of salt, or you are going to be very bitter.  |

You dont hear Howard's fans saying they'll leave because of that convict Martha Stewart "being shoved down their throat" or the religious channels on Sirius do you?
You're intolerant, that's your problem. |

I, for one, am I huge Howard fan, and look forward to any merger so I can get my MLB.

Wow ! so many Fans of Middle School bathroom humor. 
Apparently voting with my pocketbook is an intolerant thing to do.
Others should pay support your idea of thinking or entertainment?
Socialism in the market place now?

You've obviously never heard much of the Howard Stern show, there's alot to be said for someone who treats everyone he interviews with the same respect whether they're a millionaire or a prostitute.
You can stick with your phony interviewers, I'll stick with the only guy who will ask the tough questions, like do you like anal. |

Never mind. You and Howard obviously have the same fixation.

By the way...
"humour" is spelled humor
"alot" correctly used is, a lot
Middle School English sure was was tough...

Low quality... connect it directly to the radio. |

More lousy audio?

Actually, satellite radio pays for their music as well. Don't know how Sirius sounds, but XM quality is lousy. On the talk stations, it's horrendous. Sounds like streaming audio on the internet. Music is OK, but a strong FM signal is still far better. |

said by CyaXM :I canceled XM this week; same repetitive crap, low quality; I'll listen to my mp3's thank you very much Good luck with the merger I agree. Always assumed satellite digital radio would sound great. Driving my new car home with the trial subscription, immediately noticed it is not so great, and talk stations were awful. Unless they give me some ridiculously great deal, I will let the trial run out. |
