Get the hell outta here already willya. You know it, I know it and everybody else here knows Stern has alot more listeners. Dont give me supscription #s....you friggin kiddin me?O&A will never, NEVER be anywhere near Howard Stern's level. We know you prefer them, but stop trying to compare the shows, its just really stupid. There is a very good reason nobody knows O&A--O&A have more listeners than Stern (Doesn't matter how you spin it, 6 million+ is more than 4 million+)

Heard that, very interestingWasnt sure if I should believe the guy though. Sounded pretty bitterHilarious listening to that dude Matt (Kristy Swanson's ex) talk about her. Her kinkiest thing is she likes to have a certain act (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/images/ency/fullsize/1735.jpg) performed on her in the shower such that she vomits
she is also apparently a vegatarian, as she loves salad
Unless Stern goes back to regular radio or switches to XM than O&A will have more listeners than him. I'm sure that they both pull about the same percentage of their subscriber base which means that O&A will have more.It doesn't get much simplier than that.Get the hell outta here already willya.

If you're going to have arguments over which group of uncaring millionaires whom you've never met and never will meet - and yet to whose succeess or failures you've somehow linked your own sense of self-worth - is better, please take it to the Shark Pool and call it something like "Eagles Own the Cowboys," reserving this thread for people who enjoy listening to Howard Stern and want to comment about things they heard on his show.
I really don't think that will happen. It is a wait and see thing, but I believe that XM is already too far ahead for Sirius to catch up. The Stern factor is already wearing down, and if he couldn't push them over the top who will?I have heard that any show on satallite radio getting 10% of the subscribers to listen would be a huge number. If we use that number as a test than Stern would have 400000 listeners, so O&A would only need to have 7% of subscribers to have more listeners than Stern. I don't think that is very hard for them to do, especially since Eric Logan, the head of XM programming, has said on several occasions that O&A are the biggest show on XM.I give it another year and a half and by then Sirius would have passed xm up in the subscriber category.Unless Stern goes back to regular radio or switches to XM than O&A will have more listeners than him.

I believe this is a also. And I apologize to all Stern fans for hijacking their thread.I will just make one more point and then I will leave this thread for the Stern fans, I have met O&A before. I have sat down and had beers with them. They love their fans and will do remote shows for their fans in many different cities that they are in. You are right in saying that most Stern fans will never meet their hero, because he could care less about his fans. But O&A will go out of their way to hang with their fans and show them some appreciation.If you're going to have arguments over which group of uncaring millionaires whom you've never met and never will meet - and yet to whose succeess or failures you've somehow linked your own sense of self-worth - is better, please take it to the Shark Pool and call it something like "Eagles Own the Cowboys," reserving this thread for people who enjoy listening to Howard Stern and want to comment about things they heard on his show.

Howard = tool
O&A = funny and down to earth
I don't doubt that people listen and like o and a, thats there taste. I would seriously doubt Stern only gets 10% of the sub. number.

And I haven't met many Howard fans who listened to them that didn't like them. Most Howard fans that listen to O&A make the switch to O&A. I don't think you could say the same thing about Howard.
I'll be the first to admit I'm an O&A Fan, but its pretty obvious that Stern had a massive effect on Sirius sub's....I don't doubt that people listen and like o and a, thats there taste.

XM subscribers remind me of the kids who liked Sega. During the early 90s, they would pimp all of Sega's innovative hardware like the Game Gear, CD system, and 32x, but Super Nintendo owners would just say, "yeah, that's cool, but do you have Final Fantasy?" Then in the late 90s it was the same thing - the Sega dorks would pimp Saturn and Dreamcast, while the Playstation owners would just say, "yeah, that's cool, but do you have Final Fantasy?" Now the XM people pimp their stupid MyFis or whatever hardware crap they think is super awesome while the Sirius folks say, "yeah, that's cool, but do you have Howard? Or NFL Radio? OR HARD ATTACK??" I'll take my nerd stamp now, thankslol at giantsrule
it is hilarious how defensive XM people are
I would think it was a real squirt since Gary was worried about getting a shot in the eye. :XPron question: these girls that are all 'squirting' these days...are they just faking it and spraying urine all over the place?

Some are fake, some are real. If the girl trembles during the O, like Cytherea, it's real. If it comes out in a perfect stream it raises my doubts.Pron question: these girls that are all 'squirting' these days...are they just faking it and spraying urine all over the place?

O&A = funny and down to earth
Here's one more: O&A doesn't lie to fans. If Howard beats them, they'll admit it (and have in the past). When O&A win (which is often) Howard brushes it off or makes stuff up (they only have five people that harrass him and his radio buddies, Sirius can't make enough product to satisfy subscribers, Sirius doesn't make a pure portable unit because they want to get it right, etc., etc.)
How are they not? The two biggest shows in the genre. Both dominated terrestrial radio (Howard for mornings; O&A for afternoons). Same hardcore fan base. Same warped sense of humor. Howard has his set of bits and sketches; O&A have their own. They aren't clones. They aren't Stern imitators. They have just carved a niche in a much-imitated industry. O&A are the number one program on XM; Stern is number one on Sirius. Both are responsible for really driving subscriptions (although Stern is admittedly more influential in that dept). XM is still by far, the better technology and the company knows how to better spend their money (isn't it hypocritical for Stern to rip on XM for signing and paying Oprah Winfrey, the true "Queen of All Media", when Sirius has Martha F'n Stewart signed to a huge deal?!?). Sirius isn't quite there yet, but they do have the edge when it comes to sports programming (NFL/NBA >>>> MLB/NCAA b-ball).I seriously think its completely ridiculous to compare the two.

LinkFor the fourth quarter, SIRIUS added 1,142,640 net subscribers, pushing SIRIUS to the market share leader position for satellite radio subscriber additions for the quarter, and a 138% increase over net subscriber additions in the year-ago quarter.

You really need to put down the Stern Kool Aid if you really believe, in 2006, that O&A don't matter. Just ask Stern's newest butt-kisser: Scott Farrell.
Not quite there yet?They have the most important radio personality, probably in the history of radio and the NFL, as well as ESPN, Fox and CNN.Sirius isn't quite there yet, but they do have the edge when it comes to sports programming (NFL/NBA >>>> MLB/NCAA b-ball).
And nobody's getting Sirius for their top-notch technology. While Stern touts the portable unit as "revolutionary", Best Buy was flooded with returns from angry customers that still couldn't get their hands on a true portable unit.XM has more subscribers and O&A have more listeners. It may change if XM's subscriptions trail off and Sirius continues to grow, but for now, that's the way it is. O&A are the pioneers of satellite radio and Stern is still #2.Not quite there yet?They have the most important radio personality, probably in the history of radio and the NFL, as well as ESPN, Fox and CNN.Sirius isn't quite there yet, but they do have the edge when it comes to sports programming (NFL/NBA >>>> MLB/NCAA b-ball).
The ONLY reason XM has more subscribers right now, is because they have been around longer. Its most definitely not because of the programming

Letterman did all of this before Stern. Someone probably did it before Letterman.almost every talk show i listen to now has adopted his "less produced" formatcasual talking while searching for stuff...interuptions...involving the producer of the show, etc, etc.How? I always hear people say this, but I don't get it.I'm not a Stern hater, or lover, I think he's aight. But I don't get the whole "he changed entertainment" stuff.The truth is, like him or not, Howard Stern shaped not only radio, but entertainment as we know it today.
I'm willing to listen.
