Mr zero credibility (AKA frontmed, AKA All My Shrimp Was Dead and Gone,
AKA NoDownTime, AKA RegularExpression, AKA any number of other aliases
that change on a weekly basis ) keeps claiming that Stern's ability
to expand his satellite audience is nonexistent because he claims that
Stern can't reach anyone besides the people who already pay to hear
him on Sirius.

OK, forget the almost daily press coverage of Stern, or the fact that
he can book himself on major network shows like the Letterman show at
will, or that he can get on the cover of national magazines just by
offering them an interview. All that probably doesn't count because
frontmed assures us that Stern's reach is limited to Sirius
subscribers.

But now I was just in a hotel room during a business trip and as I was
flipping through the channels looking for something to watch, imagine
my surprise to see a whole list of segments from Stern's Sirius shows
on "Howard TV" being offered from the hotel TV's video on demand
menu. The Stern reach keeps expanding. No wonder that Bridge Ratings
just went from claiming that the Stern effect was over to saying that
reports of it being over were premature.

This raises the question: Will frontmed ever pull his head out of his
ass and get something right?
