Howard Stern’s apeshit rant against Sirius XM

“Everybody forgets what the f**k was going on around here when I signed on. Sirius Radio, by the way, was just about going out of business. I sat down with these guys and I said to them: ‘Look—if I leave terrestrial radio and come to Sirius, I’m gonna bust my balls for you. I’m gonna make shit happen…I guarantee you guys acquire XM radio. Forget merge—that’s a horseshit fucking term—ACQUIRE XM radio….But people have a short memory. Everybody’s got a short memory about what went on here…And now that times are good and they’ve reached ‘it,’ everybody wants to f***ing forget what they owe—and WHO they owe…There wouldn’t be a Sirius if I wasn’t here. It wouldn’t be here. This way a Hail Mary pass, hiring me…There’s one thing that separates this company from these other companies that offer music for free—ME!”
