There's no hiding that we're not fans of Howard Stern. It's not only because we outgrew his brand of humor in high school (possibly junior high - ed.), but because everything on his show revolves around the fact that he's better than everyone else. The man is the ultimate prima donna. That and he's on Sirius Satellite Radio, and we're XM fans.But now, it appears that Howard is going to go after Opie & Anthony, who we are fans of, by hitting out on the terrestrial radio ground too. O&A made a deal with XM and then agreed to clean up the first hour and a half of their show for normal free radio. They took off in popularity, and Howard took $500 million of Sirius's money to come work for them.
Well Howard must not like his Sirius bosses either, because he's thinking about selling his show to terrestrial radio as well, which would pretty much anger everyone at the satellite network.
Perhaps it is because Stern only gets 10 percent of his former audience and people have forgotten about him. But what we do know is that if he does stick it to his new company and head back to Earth-bound radio, it will pretty much prove that he's the biggest sell out in the radio business. Start the evisceration of Howard, O&A. We'll be listening.
