HOWARD STERN IS THE BEST THERES NO ONE LIKE HIM.HOWARD IS THE BEST THING THAT HAPEN TO RADIO.
I can't figure out how Opie and Anthony are even close to funny. Their whole show revolves around hating Howard Stern. It's entertaining at first but after a week they don't really have much else to offer, especially when Stern rarely mentions them. XM appears to think so as well since in response to Stern they signed Oprah. Not much of vote of confidence for them.
I've got XM - and I must say that I just don't "get" Opie and Anthony. Maybe. I'm just to damn old.
I would rather listen to the Monsters In The Morning on XM 152.
Here's a question - How is it that Bob and Tom haven't landed a deal on Sat. Radio?
Howard is the best ever!
Stern is a has been. He invented shitty subpar radio about 10 years ago. Opie and Anthony are funnier on their worst day than howie is on his best. Tell em Fred.
