Howard moves to satellite

So Howard is moving to Sirius satellite radio. I guess thats it then. Thank you FCC for ruining the only still free of charge mass medium left in this country. Thanks for all the lawsuits and fines you gave out to protect our free air ways. Thank so much for letting a handfull of corporations own all the stations...by deregulation. Companies used to be able to own only a few staions and never more than one in a market. No more now you can buy them all and guess what.... radio and music have turned to crap. America used to have 1000s of independant stations each offering a different point of view. Each with its own music and programing director. Each city had its own spin and sound in someways. Now there are a handfull of corporations running the show ... all spewing out the same crap. Radio sucks now. But Rush Limbaugh is on coast to coast. So great Howard will be able to curse..... But no commercials you say.....yeah sure just like cable... wait there coming. Thank you FCC for governing our free airwaves right into toilet so that now we will be forced to pay to have the Free of the FCC Airway we deserve.

Robin you hit the nail right on the head, but ist not just radio. Its to the point now that even in comedy clubs you cant say what you want. i had a friend thrown out of an open mic at a bar because he refused to change his act because there were children there. im not sure about the rest of the country, but in new york unless you have a resturant license anyone under 21 cannot be in a bar. I've come to the conclusion that these days entertainment business is all about appealing to the mass market while keeping the religious minority thats in power satisfied. And i think it really sucks. Thats why nbc is able to air shit like last comic standing, but comedic greats like howard stern is forced to go to satelite radio. What ever happenned to freedom of speech? what ever happenned to adult only entertainment. Robin i used to think stand up comedy was the last bastion of free speech adult entertainment, but after what happenned to my friend last week i seriously doubt it



M'eh...

If it means he'll cease the whining about the FCC (this is bigger than just YOU, Howie. A little perspective, hm?) and bring some substance beyond his love for lesbians into the world of radio, then more power to him.
