I am amazed at how some people are able to convert their foul mouth to such riches. Sam Kennison was another.

paying millions more to sign on other talent and attract listeners to their subscriber model

I can live without Howard Stern, and without satellite radio. Now, if they signed an exclusive contract with El Rushbo....

Luckily, he isn't a Wall Street stock trader, or the MSM would be all over him for "obscene profits".

Another double standard demonstration from the Left, and pure hypocrisy.....

XM uses money to pay off debt, Sirus uses money to expand. I've got XM, and very much enjoy it, especially when I'm on long trips and hate playing the radio station game. And it was refreshing to listen to actual Christmas music instead of 'holiday PC festivalia' that's presented on commercial stations.

The freewheeling and ribald Stern...

Is that another way of saying "worthless punk"?

Limbaugh makes pittance compared to what this guy gets. Correct me if I am wrong. ( Limbaugh & Leno make about the same)

Besides the "off the charts" foul mouth, this guy is not clever or funny. Truly a one trick pony. Shocking that he's demonstrated an audience that would fuel this insane salary and bonus.

Where's Barney Frank to protest this pay issue, when we need him?

Fine, I wish he had failed... because I don't like what he represents. But at least, we don't have to listen to his filth!...

We also know there are armies of perverts who live in porno sites.... it should not be, but it is a fact of life and I can live with it.

Well, ya gotta hand it to Stern. That was a very smart financial negotiation on his part. Sirius, on the other hand, should go back to school and learn something about profit.

I wonder if I helped him. I never considered signing up for Sirius (before four months ago). But right now I'm listening to, and recording, Joan Sutherland do Norma.

There's 83 million reasons not to spend my money on Sirius Satellite Radio.
