I don't see what advantage he would have for taking it to the end and leaving the listeners up in the air.  The move to Sirius was known over a year in advance and they didn't keep that quiet.  IF they were going somewhere else, you'd think they'd want to get the fans excited for that venture and start promoting it.

But think about this.  If Sirius had half a brain, they would have seen what happened when he left regular radio.  If they're smart, they added that into his contract.  That he cant say shit about leaving for somewhere else until his contract is up and he's off their airwaves.  Sirius got a year of free promotion because of that, and we all remember how it ended with him being taken off the air.

I suppose, but what would be the plan if they let Howard walk?  I think that'd be a HUGE risk for them.  Far more than overpaying for him for a few more years.  They can't overlook the numbers that subscriptions went through the roof BECAUSE of Stern.  I don't know any other way they could spin it.  And to think the numbers wouldn't be drastically cut if they let him walk, I think they're smarter than that.  Is Oprah radio going to keep people tuned in?  The Martha Stewart channel? 

I just hope he stays because I'm a current subscriber and it works for me.  I don't really want to go through the process of buying new hardware and equipment and paying for another subscription for wherever he might move to.  I will, but I won't be happy about it.

The show has been off the hook lately.  If the show at Sirius is coming to an end, they're going out in style.

I got drunk one night I walked home but I didn't notice I had walked into a neighbors house and crashed on their couch.
