If you read TexBikers post earlier you would know that XM has more subscribers that Sirius. So by saying "Sirius is still gaining subscribers faster than XM," is just plain ridiculous.

Howard Stern Ripoffs? I won't even qualify that with a response.

First off they are on 2 platforms. They are syndicated on numerous FM radio stations plus they are on XM. So you can't tell me they aren't succesful. The proof is right there. Why doesn't your idol Howard have that deal? Oh ya, he is not as popular anymore. Oh, and Opie and Anthony were on Satelite first. Looks like Howard ripped O&A off.

Not much for Oldies, but the comedy channel is great.

I agree. Don't care for an arrogant a** who thinks all his listeners should buy into sirius just to listen to him. When he didn't get the audience he expected he blew a gasket. Glad to see him hit the earth now and is just the same as everyone else.

Stern and O&A are both proof that you'll never go broke if you pander to the lowest common denominator. I'm absolutely stunned every time I hear of an adult that actually listens to any of them.

However, if someone offered me a $500M contract to sit around and tell fart jokes all day, I just might be tempted.

[polcat]

I have both!! lol I switched from XM because I think the rock is better with Sirius. That is my primary choice. I do like the euro trance and dance selection from XM better than Sirius. I paid for XM for "X" number of months and still have some time left. I do not care for any talk type shows...thats is why I chose sat radio. Commercial free, hence NO TALKING. I am from Philadelphia and have listened to Howard for years due to the fact that on my commute to work @ 530am, there wasn't the best choice of music. He has his moments, but I would rather listen to the radio for the MUSIC, not some gay talk show.
Bottom line, look at all the music selections from each and I am sure at least two of your friends have one of each sat option. Just cruse through each one and to the genre you like best for a little bit and make the call your self. It takes a little time, but I think both have their perks.

TexBiker, You have been very educated and informative with Satellite in general but I have to disagree with your assessment of the content of O&A, and even Howard (though it kills me to). They are more than fart jokes and being shock jocks. That term has been given to them by the media and it doesn't fairly assess their show. I listen to every minute of the show everyday and I can tell you that they talk about more than farting. They discuss politics, sports, news, pop culture, have some GREAT interviews, etc.
Of course they push the envelope from time to time. But they are paid to get ratings, so they need to be edgy at times. But I would say there humor and language is the same as alot of Adult oriented shows on Satellite ior cable TV.
If you don't like cringe humor or talk radio just say so. But don't say you are stunned when you hear an adult who likes them or that they pander to the lowest common denominator. I can't be that low can I, I drive a Tundra!

and secondly sirius started quite a while after xm, and they are gaining, but xm does have more. Ive been with sirius since late 2005, Now I have 4 lifetime subscriptions, if they dont merge, we will see who wins, o&a are nothing.

Garbage huh? Whatever... they are such garbage that 2 companies, XM and CBS radio want them. They do a show for CBS radio which is also broadcasted on XM radio. Then after that show they do another 2-3 hours solely for XM. So they do 5-6 hours of radio a day. How can they be garbage and do 6 hours of radio? Doesn't make sense does it?

And I pay for it, because I like to hear them uncensored and I want to hear both shows. I record the show on my XM radio in the morning and listen to them throughout the day. Plus, I don't live in an area where they are syndicated on FM radio. So XM is my only option.

The "Why would you pay for it argument when you can get it for free" is stupid. You pay for the convienence, uncensored , no commercials, and better quality. Why would you pay for Satellite or Cable TV when you can get TV for free. Because it is Better, more options, more channels, etc..

XM was launched in 2001, Sirius in 2002. That is not "quite awhile after XM"
Maybe you shouldn't give your opinions as fact.

HMM no commercials, seem to remember then having commercials. and a year is quite some time when your starting a new medium, O&A never stand a chance if the go up against howard, even bubba the love sponge smashed them in their ratings, and the reason two companies want o&a is becauase they cant have howard, so they will pick up any trash they can ex:O&A enjoy them while there around.

[CJ$]

Yes, O & A have some commercial. Remember me saying they are on FM radio. Sp they do have about 4-5 minutes commercials every hour. You need some time to use the bathroom and rest for a few minutes.

Plus I was talking about the commercial free music.

Once again, get your facts straight, Bubba did not beat them in the ratings, your just lying now.

Once again, look at the facts. If Opie and Anthony were trash, they wouldn't have any ratings and they wouldn't just have signed an extention now would they? Why would a company want a radio show with no listeners. You are just making things up now.

I will enjoy them while they are around, aaannndd for many years to come.. We will see who will win in the end.....

[Mickey]

Hopefully not howard....
