Leave Howard alone


We are taking a side step from the regular coverage of politics because of, the king of all media, yes you guessed it, we are talking about Howard Stern.
Jon Markman is the latest in a bunch of “reporters” who have in the past two years attacked Sirius Satellite Radio for hiring Howard Stern. They have attacked Howard Stern himself saying that his arrival has caused little impact in satellite radio.
Little impact? Howard Stern put satellite radio on the map. He has attracted millions of new subscribers to Sirius Satellite Radio, a medium that had less that 1 million subscribers when he arrived to close to 9 times as much in the past 2 years.
Why are this reporters predicting doom for Sirius? Could it be because their jobs are on the line? Mr Markman is a regular contributor for MSNBC and CNBC cable and radio all competing with Sirius. Could it be that he has a stake in the failure of satellite radio?
Let me tell you something, Sirius is not going anywhere. Just ask anyone who owns a satellite radio. I do, I never listen to terrestrial radio anymore, because the only reason I used to listen to it was the “Stephanie Miller Show” and she is in Sirius as well.
The fact is that Sirius gives programing that is by far better than anything regular radio has to offer. Howard Stern is at his best, so get used to it, better yet, get one and hear how radio is supposed to be done.
