Simply because he has a huge following due to his controversial topics. Most people still don't believe that controversy, sex and violence sells well. As far as him being under paid, I'm not sure I can say that. If there is or was a way to cut out the middle man (which would be sirius in this case), I'm pretty sure he would have done so before now. I don't know all of the politics that are involved, but I do believe that Howard sells a great show. Considering radio is a business, we can never give employees too much money on the account of over head. Let's just say Howard caused a 2.5 mm spike @ 12.95 per customer, then he certainly deserves that type of money. If more people were as good as Howard, there would be no such thing as a 100mm dollar contract.champhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13371904124176749407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35777384.post-19445442163044222822007-03-02T10:02:00.000-08:002007-03-02T10:02:00.000-08:00Do you know any other Sirrius users?

I do not think it is fair to imply that Howard Stern merits the credit for the increase in subscribers. <BR/><BR/>In the three months I have subscribed to Sirrius, I think I listened to about 30 seconds of Howard Stern, more than enough time in my books, and changed the channel.Mother of 5https://www.blogger.com/profile/04584550805802688692noreply@blogger.com
