Radio is the real wild card. It remains to be seen how CBS performs without Howard Stern.

Howard Stern Radio Show.

It's a smart strategic move for XM because they need to answer the Howard Stern question. It's not a dirt-cheap deal. But it does help XM attract a female audience.

The best way to listen to Howard Stern is not on pirated radio and not off illegal Web sites, but to subscribe to Sirius.

Jeff Van Gundy is a Baxter. Derek Jeter? So not a Baxter. Howard Stern is not a Baxter. And Bernie Kerik is not a Baxter.

The primary difference is in the shows. If a person wants Howard Stern or National Public Radio or a certain kind of sports programming, they lean toward Sirius. If they don't care about those aspects, they swing either way.
