Stern got a $500 million contract to move his show from the terrestrial radio network he is on to their satellite network. Kind of like if Katie Couric was offered that to go from NBC's Today Show to the CBS Evening News (to borrow from another thread). I guess that you can argue that part of the subscription fee would go to home, but divide that by the rest of the stations/personalities on Serius and it would come out to be a VERY small portion.
Stern will probably only have a 4 hours show M-F on one station (they may run repeats at different times), so your Dad wouldn't have to listen to that station during that time if it would offend him. I have XM radio and Opie and Anthony are on there - you can argue that they are just as bad if not worse, but again it's optional whether I listen to them or not. There is also channel blocking available if you want to avoid the tempation at all costs.

AOIIBrandi , wow you are full of info and great ideas...thanks
But 4hours a day every day is a lot...dont you think? I am sure that he will he have his own station where he will have 4 hours of live and the rest of them would be reruns or something dedicated to him, dont you think? And yes, Opie and Anthony are on XM but I don't see a $500 million dollar contract in line...personally that seems absurd and if I went with XM then is not like my money would be supporting a huge contract/promotion like with Stern, you know? And, yes I could argue that it is a very small portion but I don't think that my dad would see it that way...do you see what I am saying? Thoughts?
