I woke up at 6AM to hear the Howard Stern Show and I all am hearing that stupid "heartbeat" program for the past 45 minutes. I love Howard, but we've all heard that program all weekend long.

Are you on channel 100? It started at 6am on the nose. I read on the Sirius website that it will start at 6am PST on channel 101...

You might as well stay on 101 - you missed too much to backtrack.

Not much. It sucked. I was hardcore before moving 10 years ago to a town that had no Stern. I eagerly anticipated today. What a shock to hear such smug lameness. Pat O'Brien tapes? That's a year old. Who cares? It's not like he needs time to develop. He was just one the air a couple weeks ago.
The king has no clothes. It sounded like the medium market imitators he's railed against for decades. Ironic that the "Jump the Shark" guy does the recap show afterward.
I'm regretting my purchase already. He wasn't anything better than I could hear on my local broadcast channels, and in some cases, worse.

I was disappointed, as well. A lame opening (wooo...farting noises to the sounds of the 2001 theme). They bitched for 30 minutes about how nothing worked right (technically). What were the dry runs for? And, if Scott the Engineer is such a screw-up, why did HS bring him to Sirius? Artie basically did nothing except drop the F-bomb as many times as he could slip it in.
He's still better than the other wannabees on FM, but he kept building this first show up, and it was average. No Wack Pack to speak of, press conference was pointless (why the big plug for Sirius, when everyone listening to this already has it?). When HS is touting a no-talent redneck like Bubba the Love Sponge, the shark may very well have been jumped. BTLS and Ronnie arguing about Tony Stewart in Scores was useless.
I got Sirius for the music and sports, so I'm not going to cancel my subscription, but the Stern show will probably lose me as a listener.

Howard's First Day
> people its just the first day...give the show a break...
Indeed. It doesn't seem like anyone can premiere a high-profile show anymore without being called a loser on day one. (See: Roth, David Lee.)
But it's a far cry from David Lee Roth to Howard Stern, and not just for listeners on 92.3 FM in New York and other former Stern affiliates.
Unlike DLR, Howard Stern already knows how to do a radio show. And thus, the expectations are somewhat higher for him than they are for his over-air East Coast replacement.
I listened to some of it today, and I can see how some would be disappointed... though I don't have much Stern listening in my background, so I don't know how much different that is from a regular show (aside from the hype and the language).
I saw today for him as a "hey, we're here" show, despite the hype. I expect if adjustments need to be made, Stern knows how to do it.

I liked the show, but I just think that they need to structure the show a little bit better and have guests/skits/games.
Also, that Heidi Cortez/Evil Dave thing was so disgusting amd unfunny. I like how Howard is trying to only curse when necessary and not drop f-bombs every sentance. I just hope he doesn't let those creeps Sal and Richard make these kinds of vulgar but unfunny bits just because there is no FCC. Vulgar but funny is fine with me though!
