I think he will do well on sirus. He won't have 12 million listeners a day but he will do well. I can see there being a rush of people getting the gear when he first switches over and a steady stream for several months afterwards as people realize that they miss him. I think his show will change some but only for the better. No he won't have censors to kick around and GM's to yell at, but I listen everyday to him and that is only a very tiny part of his show. He often goes weeks without mentioning them.

Also, as for sattelite, I think it will grow and get bigger and bigger. Not just because of him but a lot of factors. Regular radio is getting stale. The big companies that own 90%+ of all the radio stations are making them all sound alike and I think people are getting tired of it and are starting to look for something where they don't get 20 minutes of music then 10 minutes of commercials and they don't here the same 20 songs over and over again. There will always be free radio and it will always have a pretty big audience but look at cable TV. When cable TV first started there were many people who scoffed at the idea and said it would never work that people would never pay for it. And back then it was more expensive and had hardly any channels. Now just about every house in the country has it in some form or another.

I think the the companies like sirius will continue to strike deals with car makers to have it in the car and the lifetime subscription is included in the price of the car. With that, and the fact that they keep adding more and more people to their talent pool they will continue to grow.
