With the Dog House off the air, for now, it brings up the question whether they will go to satellite radio. Howard Stern, once again, the pioneer, went to Sirius at the beginning of this year and if you consider the millions of listeners that once listened to him religiously, not many have followed him.
A satellite radio costs approximately $9.95/month and not many people are willing to pony up the extra money on a monthly basis.
When the Dog House first left the Bay Area, JV said that he did not believe in satellite radio and didn't think people should have to pay for their radio.
The good things about satellite are there are pretty much no commercials and so many specialty stations, with just a specific genre. They don't have to worry too much about ratings and therefore just appeal to a certain target demographic.
That brings up the question, should we pay for radio like we do for tv? Conveniently, there is a poll below. I know I would definitely pay to listen to the Dog House. But judging by the number of listeners that bought a Sirius set for Stern, it's unlikely many will do so for the Dog House. But keep hope alive.
