Stern was fired a few times in a few different cities but always ended up back on the airwaves somehow. When the FCC put too much pressure on him, he went to Sirius and, from what I can gather, that put Sirius on the map. Although, I'm sure people said this when cable TV was first getting popular, I just can't see paying for radio personally... but that's me. I listen to the radio on my way to work and sometimes on my way home. Usually on my way home, I listen to one of the CDs I've made from Itunes.
