I hope so. Sirius should be put out of its misery. The shitty app Howard has been promoting doesn't even work on 3G networks while the other Internet radio apps work flawlessly.
Stern and Stern alone controls the satellite radio industry.
Breaking news: Howard's company suing SiriusXM

Stern and Stern alone controls the satellite radio industry.
Your sarcasm has been detected.
GOOD. His company treating him like the enemy?
If it mean's he's bitter.... Could Howard be back?
Exactly. The Pests wouldn't listen to Howard if he was the only thing on satellite.
There were MANY people that went to XM to avoid Howard. Remember Hyundai signing with XM just because Sirius signed Howard? (Totally overlooking O&A and XM's own brand of "shock" humor?)

Howard telling people to "drop the fuckin' tray." :rofl:
How is going to bankrupt the company? They'll just print more nearly worthless stock to give him :rofl2:
Watch One Twelve buy out radioIO. :jj:...Coming soon to Bubba Two afternoon drive on RadioIO.com

Thats a good one +1 for you!
I bet they settle this before it ever goes to court. Stern will get some cash and it will all go away. Just in time for 3 days a week and most of the summer off. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Random related thought. I wonder if keeping the Best of Sirius / Beast of XM separate from each other had anything at all to do with this. Sirius has subscribers, XM has subscribers, and there are only a few that do the Best of deal. Just a curiosity. It's a lot of money, but not enough to sink the ship.
Read that whole darned thing. This has been bubbling under the surface for 3 years now. If the original contract language is as 'plain' in counting subscribers not just buying satellite for Stern, but overall, and if the extra provisions under any merger contingency aren't explicitly in Siriusxm's favor, then Stern and Buchwald will be getting a settlement. Sirius had no confidence they could buy out xm back in '04. If they can agree on sub totals for the years in question (07-09) at the very least, the XM haul post-merger will be a large stock payout for him.
Sirius didn't buy out XM. The two sinking ships merged and then got rescued by John Malone from bankruptcy.
LOL That's true.....give him their monopoly money.
Seriously.....if Howard does win, or collect a big amount, how will the company recover the money?
They will have to raise sub prices, lay more people off, or both.
Not to mention when something like this happens, the stock price usually goes down. This company can't exactly afford their stock dipping again.
Come on now.....you know it was because of Howard that XM collapsed. He just wants more marbles for "knocking it out of the park" four (soon to be three) days a week.
He was also rumored to be the driving force behind the Berlin wall's demise, as well.
I dunno what's gonna happen but some are speculating that Howard never really intended to do these next five years but I just don't see SiriusXM paying him to retire early.
I can see the settlement know. Give me what you owe me for the rest of the contract so I can walk away.
Sirius: What about the people that work on the channel?
Howard: What people? What Channels?
