is Howard considering going back to terrestrial radio?

he brought in a ton of subscribers for Sirius but Howard vastly overestimated how many of his longtime fans would jump to satellite - i'm sure he misses the days when he talked to 14 million people rather than the 1 or 2 million he has now.

the other thing that terrestrial radio had that worked for Howard is that the FCC rules worked in his favor - he was the bad boy trying to get past the uptight radio station management and saying and doing things nobody else on the airwaves would. being on satellite where u can be profane and say almost whatever you want, it becomes ho hum.

the shock jock already was beginning to mean less and less before Howard went to satellite - every other radio show including his fanboys Opie and Anthony were doing the same thing he did. he was no longer unique
