I wonder if he's attracting younger listeners or whether his audience consists primarily of people who are now 40 and older (some much older) who had been fans of his in his New York and/or syndication years. And, while he seems to be in decent health, he is 66. Has he or SiriusXM thought about a successor or long-term fill-in should his health decline over the next five years, or is the knowledge that they have decades of Stern in the vault sufficient assurance that the dreaded subscriber exodus won't happen?Good news for Sirius stock!
Howard suggested that this is his last contract.

Of course, Sirius/XM has no real concern about age... just as you mention in the final words of your post. Paid services don't depend on advertisers, and thus don't worry so much about demographics. The same applies to a great extent to subscription or fee-based web services.I wonder if he's attracting younger listeners or whether his audience consists primarily of people who are now 40 and older (some much older) who had been fans of his in his New York and/or syndication years.

My guess is that people who are listening to his show probably followed him to Sirius from OTA radio when he left OTA radio in 2005. Where else would they go? Shortly after 2005 a lot of similar "shock talk" shows that appealed to his demos left the air.I wonder if he's attracting younger listeners or whether his audience consists primarily of people who are now 40 and older (some much older) who had been fans of his in his New York and/or syndication years.

His long form interviews are great, he's on par with Letterman.I never cared for Stern’s brand of radio. Personally I think he’s a tune out factor, 25% of 2% is really not that much of a number.
Letterman sucks too.His long form interviews are great, he's on par with Letterman.
He is one of the best interviewers.Letterman sucks too.
Okay I give.. Who doesn't suck?Letterman sucks too.
Probably nothing.So, we never found out what was inside the second box
