Title: Howard Stern Starts on Sirius Radio Today
Post by: ShadyGuru on January 09, 2006, 05:01:22 AM: I've been seeing this all over the place and just think it is so overhyped. The guy is not worth 500 million, his contract is as big of a joke as his talent.

Anyone else with me?

But luring Stern was a major, if costly, move for Sirius. The "Howard Stern Show" costs about $100 million a year, including salaries for Stern and his staff, according to Sirius data.

To break even, Clayton said Sirius would need to add a million subscribers, which he said should be easy to achieve.

"It's a good move for Sirius," said April Horace, an analyst with Janco Partners.

It didn't jump by 3 million. Sirius currently has 3 million subscribers today, XM has 6 million. Stern hasnt' done anything for that company, and he is overpaid
