Yea... I dont see that at all. At one point during commercials I was listening to music and after no more than 6 minutes I said, "if the commercials are really going up then Ill notice now". but sure enough they were already engrossed in a convo.

If you want to see a lot of commercials try listening to ESPN Radio... its like 50/50 split.

was funny hearing him mention the people who were complaining about how they pay a whole $13 a month to hear him. Sure it sucks that he saves his vacations for mostly summer time, but is that $13 really such a big deal? Is the rest of Sirius so devoid of programming that there is nothing else to listen to in the interim?

I think people are a little miffed that when he was "free" he normally worked a 5-day schedule and had alot less vacation time. But now you're getting 24-hour channels and access to un-censored older stuff so obviously there's value for the $13. And it looks like some of the newer Sirius hardware is finally the size of XM's stuff. But either way, with minimal effort you can stream for free on PC or listen to MP3 torrents if you want to follow without paying.

They went from 6 to 8 weeks of vacation a year.

Seems Stern's replaying his past five 9/11 K-Rock shows all day today. It was cool hearing the original show again after 5 years and listening to Stern call the events as they happened, but who cares about the other shows? You just got off vacation, fucking play some new shit, pls.

He was on live until about 9 this morning, then they switched over to the original 9/11 tape.
