Howard Stern

I like Howard Stern.

I have been thinking ahead to the point where we will be able to justify a subscription to satellite radio, and decided that Sirius will be the service we choose. Howard's program was part of that process.

I had been wondering why he was prepared to swap his massive *Earth bound* audience for the relatively untried new service, and one with only 2 million subscribers.

Then I discovered he had signed a 5 year contract worth ... wait for it ...

500 million dollars !!!

So, that nicely explains THAT!
