>>sup fellas. ive been a loyal stern fan for 15 years. to me the show is all about NOTHING, litteraly nothing. i dont care about benji's lovelife, i dont care about howard whinning he's tired, i dont care about the channel lineup changes, the new program director sucks balls, the run of uninteresting and repetitive guests is just unacceptable. im sick of the constant replaying of old shit i've heard 50 f'n times already. come up with some new f'n sternthology blocks. no effort is put into the show or the programming. yeah you'll tell me to stop listening which i mostly have. its just not a turn on anymore where i rush to listen. once stern leave sirius, unless he strikes a deal for them to play his old shit, the company is going to die, simple as that. im sure i'll get bashed here but its just my 2 cents.

I couldn't disagree more.
SiriusXM may have to change but it won't die.
Testicular Radio is dead for sure. Too many goddamned commercials and
no talent.
Buying hardware - the price may have to come down, it could be like
cable where they give you the hardware.
Satelite radio is great for truckers and people who drive a lot.
Testicular radio has been dying a slow death ever since Howard left it
but now it's toast for sure.
