Stern and the Satellite Wars

In Wired magazine: Howard Stern and the Satellite Wars: "By taking his case to 12 million listeners every week, Stern is turning locker-room humor into a constitutional cause. He's using his show as a platform to prick (as it were) the FCC's veil of authority. Thanks to his particular talent for connecting, for making each listener feel talked to instead of at, Stern is transforming an abstract fight about rights and values into one about the guy next door, or at least the guy down the dial."

Mediaweek reports on a survey of whether fans will follow Stern to satellite: Stern Fans Undecided On Sirius Switch: "The survey found that 22 percent planned on subscribing to Sirius to continue to hear Stern, 41 percent were undecided and 37 percent said they wouldn't subscribe."
