Having said that I see Sirius gaining some serious subscriptions at first (pardon the pun... it was intended), however, I see them losing a vast majority they gain once Howard gets stale (unless they get better more diverse programming, which they might).

I truly love Howard and this would increase my chances of hearing him, but I think it's career suicide.
