Howard got free reign on Sirius and he became a total bore. Howard was far more creative and interesting when he had the FCC on his bottom. Now
Bloomberg says that the Big Bore is Sirius’ ticket to future success. Puhlease!
Face it Sirius you made a bad tech bet. You spent gazillions launching satellites right at the moment when the Internet took over. Then stuffed your programming with dull and boring “celebrities”. Howard for starters…but Martha Stewart’s daughter was, frankly, desperate.
I was an avid Sirius subscriber for a few short years 2003…06ish. I bought a new car and had it fitted with one of the first Sirius Satellite radios. I loved the sound. The endless music. And the genre choices. Then I put a radio in my kitchen. We enjoyed it thoroughly. BUT the cost for the value delivered was prohibitive. We moved back to Internet streaming. I take my Iphone, fit it with a streaming radio app, sit it in the speaker cradle and its free. Free. The same quality sound and my old favorite quality broadcast stations.
Satellite radio is dead. A grand scheme, a huge money sink and a continuing folly — why save it? It is a victim of tech evolution.
