Anyone Still Listen to Howard Stern?

[pologq]

Curious if there are still listeners and what you think of the show now.

[slewfan]

Not since the early 90's.

[Grits n' Gravy]

Yes but hard to know when he is actually live. Think he does 8-10 new shows a month. Show is still funny even if he has become a bit tame.

Less Brent, Benjy and Memet. More Ronnie and JD

[SBR_Guest_Pro]

Yea i still listen all week. He only does shows Mon, Tues, Wed for 4 hours. He does take a lot of vacations through out the year. The screen on my car radio says when it's live. Ya he's a lot different than the 90s but he's gotten older, more mature and so is his fan base. I'm only 32 but i enjoy listening to him and his interviews are spot on. I just got his new book for christmas and i'm excited to dive into it.

[vitterd]

Yep. He’s still the best

[Dutch]

He fuckked up going to Sirius/XM. Immediately became irrelevant.

[cincinnatikid513]

surprised he hasn't retired only worth 650 mil

[pologq]

definitely changed his reputation by going to satellite.

very surprised he has not retired yet. given he only does 3 new shows a week for a total of 112 shows for the salary he gets i can see his side but the show is definitely not the same as i remember as a kid. feel a lot of skits and discussions are repetitive.

completely tired of the cleaning out the computer days.

Tom Bernard same in MN. Guy with hundreds of millions and still does it and a pod cast.

Remember when Stern entered Minnesota market and couldn't get a 5 share versus Bernard dominate ratings.

Might be only market Stern flopped in

Yup he flopped big time and sunk the local station that syndicated him

[Swinging Johnson]

Reupped my Sirius membership w/o Howie Hamptons. The constant abuse of his staff or criticizing anything that he doesn't enjoy (vinyl records, drinking, etc..) makes me want to to turn the station and I soon realized I was no longer listening to Sirius just for Stern. As a matter of fact, I wasn't even tuning him in at all.

His only redeeming feature is his ability to conduct a compelling interview but he has a leg up on his colleagues because of the reputation that precedes him. Celebs understand what they are potentially getting into which allows a more direct, personal, and freewheeling discussion. I have, however, noticed that he doesn't get nearly as many A-Listers since he left AGT. That was an ideal vehicle to mainstream him, removing some of the sting off of his shock jock reputation.

very well said. when he makes fun of richard for liking the chiefs or like you said gary with vinyl or someone playing video games i get so annoyed. it's like he thinks he is god. even if it is schtick it is annoying as hell. his a-list draw power really sunk without AGT. he is not mainstream enough anymore to be recognized by many.

Hilary Clinton isnt A list??

Do you know who you're talking about? Was the best move he could make

[pologq]

Hilary Clinton isnt A list??

i was meaning more A list on the entertainment side of things. Recycles Alec Baldwin, David Spade, Whitney Cummings...

He probably doesn’t want to pay for Sirius. Great move for Howard going to Sirius. Less headaches no longer having to deal with affiliates.

He recycles guests that give good interviews. The 3 you mentioned really don’t interest me but they are entertaining on air.

I miss Eric the midget.

[pologq]

ETM was the best wack packer.

[hanziman]

As soon as Artie left and wasn't going to return I stopped.

the replays with artie are gold

[ninjatactics31]

King of all media

The move to Sirius and the 1st 5 years with Bubba & Ferrall etc was best era in his career then everyone began getting plucked off the show.

[DoctorStrong]

he is a super genius

[5918mike]

Still catch some interviews here and there but since Artie left and the Howard TV stopped I haven't really listened much.
