Vanilla Ice was on Howard Stern this week and he spilled the beans
about dating Britney Spears for the past month. Some juicy stuff on
there. I'm not sure if he's just doing it for publicity (he's trying
to get his movie out in high definition).

I've found only one place with the streaming video:
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/coolasicebluray. To get past the
ad just enter your name (apparently it takes ANYTHING so don't use
your real name) and enter something in the comment. DON'T choose
anonymous or it'll give you some page about donating blah blah blah.

I don't know who I pity more...

Howard made a HUGE MISTAKE when he went to Satellite Radio some years
ago. Conservative estimates place his loss of listenership as high as
55% when he left conventional FM broadcast radio for PAY satellite
radio. Most of his listeners can't even afford or don't even ewant a
Sat radio. Howard is therefore a NOBODY. He shot himself in the foot.
If he's smart he'll abandon Sat Radio and go back to conventional FM
Broadcasting outlets ASAP.

Say what ? Listener ratings/numbers ?

If I gave you a choice between millions of listeners and 1 million contract
per year. Or you could have multi-million dollar contract from an
upstart sat. radio service that wants a big name -- what would you do ?
His contract made him a multi-millionaire.. he made far more in his contract
than he could have ever made toiling away on FM airwaves for many years.

I think he did the right move for himself. If mega-media companies are
the kings - then Howard is still a pawn -- so why not cash out and make
tons of money when you have the chance ? Sat. Radio has already figured
out that their ratings have not appreciably increased from what was expected
bringing in names like Howard Stern. But Howard essentially has a no cut clause
and will be making millions more, no doubt laughing all the way to the bank.

So explain how he 'shot himself in the foot'. Unless you consider making
an unbelievable multi-million dollar payday is bad ammo to shoot yourself with.
He could easily decide to not re-sign when his current contract is up
and still go anywhere he'd like to making more money than probably you or
I would see in several lifetimes. And doing what he likes to do.

Wow - I hope one day to be able to 'shoot myself in the foot' like this.

If a bear craps in the woods and no one hears it or smells it but the bear gets
paid a lot of money to take the dump - does the bear really care ?

45% of Howard's Listenership is a huge boost for satellite radio

The FCC was forcing Howard off the air with rules and fines

Howard got PAID. In the end, he won.

Thanks General Specific that's another good point you make
the content of what Stern does now
is practically 'anything goes'. He couldn't possibly do that on
the FCC controlled airwaves. I'm sure he is glad to be above and
beyond all that nonsense. Yep. 100% agree with you there.

Anyways - Howard did fine for himself. I would hope to be so
fortunate one day in the career that I choose.

I think maybe EggnogChugaluger has to stop chugging so much
and come up for air

The guy is such an immature Jack Ass - if he makes any money at all he
wins. What a not talent POS ( he thinks he's a rock star or something
- haha) . ed s.

I wish my lack of talent would work for me as well as his does for
him. Love or hate him, most folks would acknowledge that he's done
very well for someone on the radio. A career in radio is not generally
the road to riches. So, why do you suppose he makes all that money for
not having talent? Pathetic, yes. Immature, undoubtedly. Racist,
Sexist and probably a closet queen besides, check!

But he's doing something right, and no sensible person would deny his
influence. When he left K-Rock they fell off the ratings charts
completely. Literally down to 0 in some markets that still tried to
syndicate his replacements. You want to hear some no-talents, check
out "Opie and Anthony", they've got that territory covered pretty
well.

Metaphorically speaking, this pretty much nails it.
