Your right people did have sirius before Howard. The point is Sirius has one exclusive thing that no other media has and that is Howard. You have to admit a majority of people joined just to hear him. I think there was less than 600k people b4 he came. Hey if u like Sirius with out Howard good for you, it is a great product and I do have it on all the time. I just wouldn't be a stockholder.

"My argument is simply that there are customers that have sat radio for reasons OTHER than Howard. I had 2 of my 3 subscriptions before he ever started there...as did many, many other people. I know people in this area that have ordered it for the sports and NASCAR stations that would NEVER listen to Howard (Hey, I am in the Bible Belt, remember...).

I am not going to debate what may or may not happen if Howard stays or leaves again - but keep in mind that not every single subscriber exists because they worship the sweat off Howard's balls. (figured he would appreciate that graphic). "

-Yes, and these other reasons people have Sirius other than Howard get just as much media attention as Howard does, right? ;)

The other benefits of Sirius don't matter at all. Only the ones that catch media attention will affect the stock price.

I agree with Jasper...in today's society, you CAN get everything Sirius offers through the internet, only its ready availability while you drive making it catch the eye of the public. The one thing that is 100% dedicated to ANY radio station or company are the personalities behind it. And, I don't think anyone can argue that Howard is the personality of Sirius Radio.
