O&A's numbers were declining on terrestrial radio before being let go from that venue. As far as I know Howards was increasing. If O&A had anywhere near the following of Stern they would have been paid much more than the $3 Million(?) they were paid. The discussion kept hitting on the statement that SIRI was going to suffer a major hit for firing A. The only major hit so far is the same hit all the other stocks are taking. In fact, today, all stocks on my watch list are down twice as much as SIRI.
No one will know the measure of impact the firing will have until 3rd Q numbers are released. Even at that, actions by SIRI before 3Q, market conditions, and many others will dilute the accuracy of the sub count being effected by the firing.
