Wouldn't that be a Sirius kick in the ass to XM Radio! Sources are reporting that Howard Stern may be looking for a new home for his shock jock radio show come the new year. For the better part of the past year, Sirius XM Radio has been dragging it's feet in getting a new contract up and running for Howard. With no word if Howard will return to the station come January, people are starting to consider canceling their subscriptions to see where he might go next. And that might be straight to your iPod.
One rumor is that Apple is offering the self-proclaimed "King of All Media" a $600 million deal to start broadcasting on iTunes. It's a sweet deal for Howard, but what will it do to Apple's reputation? They've always been hip and cool in a family-friendly sort of way.
Seems out of character to bring him into the fold. He is Mr Sleaze in anyone's vocabulary. I always thought Apple was kind of classy. They may lose a little polish in the eyes of the world. If they are thinking they can modify Howard and clean up his act, they may be wrong. First of all, it wouldn't be fair to Howard. He is good at what he does, one of the best. I don't think he would perform well at anything else. Secondly, he is what he is; you can't change that. You can only make him unhappy.
Still, it would certainly be a great way for Howard to stick it Sirius!
Where would U rather get your Stern fix from - Sirius or iTunes? Or would you rather not?
Thankyou for the help Perez.
