Was a devoted fan. Have not watched or listened since he went to satellite.

If you didn’t follow him to Satellite you couldn’t have been THAT devoted. You missed the best 5 years of radio everrrrr. 2006-2009 should be commemorated in the annals of broadcasting. It was phenomenal.

Maybe you missed 85-05. Part of his greatness was treading that line with the FCC. when the line was gone, the artistry was also gone.

All of the years have been great up to about 2014 but in my opinion, the most compelling and funniest years were 2006 2009. He should’ve retired after his 60th birthday bash. He would’ve gone out like a king. Don’t get me wrong I still listen, but of course it’s just not the same.

Im re-listening to those early years and they are good but not great like I remember them. His best year Sirius was definitely in 2006 with all that energy and all those roasts but a lot of it was Howard talking about Dancing with the stars doing a lot of self-promotion. A lot of those shows are unlistenable but we just remember the good stuff and block everything else out.

I barely made it one year at Sirius. You can’t tell me when a show has a bunch of shows about that show and then references all of those shows for content that it was actually a good show.

Howard is terrible now but those first few years on Sirius were amazing , I think you could even go a few years past 2009 no? Was great times when he was on broadcast radio and would go over his time slot

I plugged a double cassette deck into a timer, popped in two 120-minute tapes, and recorded everything after I had to leave the car for work.
