He is going to be going off air before Dec. 30th. If I remember right I think it is Dec. 16th or somewhere around there. The first Sirius show is on Jan. 6th I believe. A few markets will be losing Howard Stern before he goes off air though.
I got my Sirius already and have had it for about 2 months. It is 1000x's better than regular radio.
I know Howard is getting like 4-5 stations to do whatever he wants with.
He is being payed 500 million dollars for his 5 year contract with Sirius.
